Here’s How To Plan The Ultimate Summer RV Vacation
If you've been spending a lot of time indoors lately, you're not alone. RVs are a fun and affordable way to get out and enjoy nature.

With temperatures climbing and summer just weeks away, brighter days are very much ahead. For many, spring serves as an ideal time to start planning that perfect summer getaway. If your summer vacation plans include an RV trip, you’re in for a treat! An RV vacation is not only budget-friendly, it also provides a socially distanced way to explore exciting new cities and states.

Take Advantage Of RV Delivery
When you’re on vacation, time is crucial. One way to cut down on any inconveniences that might carve into your RV trip is to consider having your RV rental delivered. RV delivery is one of the most sought-after amenities for many RVshare renters — and for good reason. It can save both time and money. The RVshare rental marketplace offers several ultra-convenient delivery options, including delivery to your home before traveling or delivery to a campground or the final destination of your choosing.
If you’ve ever dreamt of taking a fun-filled RV trip minus all that pesky driving, RVshare’s delivery options are also ideal for people who might not want to drive an RV for the first time. Stepping behind the wheel of an RV can be intimidating, so in addition to delivery, RVshare provides stationary rentals, which allow you to rent from an owner’s home or property.

With summer destinations quickly filling up on the hotel end, delivery to a RV campground allows you to enjoy popular tourist towns even if hotels are fully booked. Delivery to a campground allows for the possibility to save money given summer’s soaring hotel rates. If you’re looking to cool off on your summer vacation, there are a number of RV campgrounds that are centrally located next to water. Among the beach-y options are Grayland Beach State Park Campground in Grayland, Washington, and Magnolia Beach Camping in Port Lavaca, Texas. Both are a stone’s throw from the beach and include helpful amenities like restrooms and showers. You can also book RV campground spaces through KOA, Sun RV Resorts, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Parks and Encore RV Resorts and Thousand Trails Campgrounds.
Lastly, for those who like to glam it up on vacation, RV delivery is an excellent way to ensure that your “glamping” trip goes smoothly. That’s because manicure and movie night is much more enjoyable when you don’t have to worry about RV pickup and dropoff.
Another delivery benefit is the potential for damage prevention, given that the owner delivers, sets up and tears down the RV.

Choose An Adventure That Best Suits You
Another great perk of RV travel is its versatility. Whether you’re traveling cross-country with your family or discovering the country’s best foodie destinations with friends, an RV trip allows you to personalize your summer adventure. If choosing your summer vacation destination is proving to be the hardest part of your trip planning, RVshare has compiled a list of destinations that are a great starting point for indecisive travelers. They include everything from California’s enchanting Big Sur to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Whether you choose to travel to the rustic West or sun-drenched South, it’s important to make reservations for your campgrounds and RV parks before you leave, and to also book your RV early. Summer is one of the most popular times for RV travel, so don’t get stuck behind due to a last-minute booking.
Enjoy A Pooch-Friendly Trip
For those who own pets, scouring the internet for hotels that accept dogs is an ordeal that can really put a damper on your summer vacation plans. If you can’t stand to think of starting off another vacation without your furry friends in tow, an RV rental can easily solve that problem. With RVshare, you can search whether the RV you’ve been eyeing is pet-friendly. Oftentimes, the owners will write in their description if they want (or don’t want) your pets to come along with you.
RVshare recommends that you search pet-friendly RV parks before you head out on your summer vacation. Many RV parks do allow pets, but it’s always wise to double-check campground policies beforehand.
