The famous Lake McDonald is the centerpiece of Glacier National Park, but there’s another lake you should check out when there. The second lake, appropriately called Hidden Lake, should be the main reason to take out your camera while on the trip. It’s so photogenic you’ll effortlessly take perfect photos and inspire everyone to take a road trip to Glacier National Park. 

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 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’ll most likely 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, so you should 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 

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

Explore the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee 

Unsurprisingly, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee is the most frequently visited national park in the United States. Fall and winter are particularly beautiful seasons to visit Tennessee. The terrain is dotted with rolling mountains and many waterfalls. Every turn of the twisting back roads reveals a new surprise. When you’re hitting the road in a camper, you will most likely like to know more affordable things to do on your travels, and we’ve got your back.

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. If you plan a Gatlinburg elopement, this affordable mountain town will give you a memorable event.

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 impressive sequoia trees.

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