The world has become a lot smaller since COVID came to town. This has put a damper on many travel plans (among other things) over the last year. While still heeding the health and safety advice of the CDC, many of us are thinking of safe ways to keep exploring. Interest in RV travel has steadily gained momentum among travelers, not only for all its conveniences but also for the possibilities of getting out there while avoiding the crowds. If you are new to RV travel be sure to do some research before you plan your trip. Keep in mind, you don’t have to own an RV, they are available for rent as well. RV parks and campgrounds are located all over the country and can offer luxurious experiences that rival the finest hotels while connecting you back with nature. Here are a few options to get your search started.
