RV travel sites worth reading
The official RV travel sources we check ourselves, kept short on purpose. A person picks every entry and writes it up.
Official sources
Agencies, regulators and the organizations that publish the rules and the data. We use these ourselves. None of them asked to be listed and none of them link back to us.
America the Beautiful Passes
nps.gov
The annual pass covers entrance at every federal recreation site, and there are free versions for fourth graders, for veterans, and for anyone with a permanent disability. Worth checking before you pay at a third gate.
Corps Lakes Gateway
corpslakes.erdc.dren.mil
The Army Corps of Engineers runs hundreds of lakes with campgrounds, boat ramps and day use areas, and they are the most overlooked public campgrounds in the country. Facilities, water levels and closures, lake by lake.
National Park Service Camping
nps.gov
What camping looks like in the national parks, from full hookup loops to backcountry permits, with the reservation window and the vehicle length limit for each park. Read the length limit before you commit to a long rig.
Recreation.gov
recreation.gov
Bookings and permits for campgrounds, cabins, lookouts, day use and lotteries across every federal agency. If a site is run by the Park Service, the Forest Service, the BLM or the Corps of Engineers, this is where it is reserved.
Run a site we should know about?
We read everything that comes in. Independent sites about RV travel only, and a person writes the description, so there is no need to send us one.
Add your siteWe link to these sites because we think they are useful. None of them paid for a place here, and nobody can buy one. If a site stops being worth reading, it comes off this page.
