Experience Minnesota’s National Forests

If you’re a fan of the colder northern weather, visiting Minnesota’s two national forests—Chippewa and Superior—along with national parks and state forests, should be on the top of your RV bucket list. With more than 2,000 camping spots, it’s ideal for your campervan road trip. This location is perfect for hiking and exploring animal and plant species alike. Additionally, if you hit the road during the winter, you’re most likely to experience the wonderful Northern Lights accessorizing the Minnesota sky.

No matter how picturesque, one of America’s northernmost states can get pretty cold in the winter season, which is why you should make sure to equip your camper with an RV air heater. It will keep you warm at night so you can get some sleep and wake up in time to see nature’s light show—Aurora Borealis.

Campervan Road Trip to Death Valley National Park 

The views you will experience when camping in Death Valley National Park in Nevada and California are spectacular. Don’t let its name scare you off—it’s one of the most popular spots for campers all throughout the year. Since it’s a desert, it can get scorching hot during the summer months and freezing cold and snowy throughout the winter. Through spring, Death Valley ironically brings life to various desert wildflowers, making the park look even more beautiful.

The mountain town of Gatlinburg is the ideal starting location for free hiking trails. If you’d like to get the best shot for your photo album, we recommend climbing the fire towers you’ll find in the area.

Camping in Yosemite National Park in California

Of course, Yosemite National Park in California had to have its spot on our list. The epic scenery of northeast California’s Sierra Mountains is a bucket list experience. Yosemite seems to be mother nature’s magnum opus. It’s abundant in must-see deep valleys, luscious meadows, and impressive waterfalls and has no shortage of impressively enormous sequoia trees.

There are many RV camps nearby so you don’t have to worry about where to park your vehicle—just enjoy the wonderful scenery and become one with nature.
