7 scenic rv parks where you can book your next vacation

No paved sites? No problem. At Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo, the sites can accommodate RVs up to 50 feet long. Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo WESTGATE RIVER RANCH RESORT

& RODEO, RIVER RANCH, FLORIDA While there are no paved sites at this RV park on a real Florida dude ranch about 80 miles south of Orlando, you can count on lots of shady spots amid the

wilderness at Westgate River Ranch. The sites can accommodate RVs up to 50 feet long and have partial hookups, so there’s electricity and water but no sewer (there is, however, an on-site

dumping station). Bathroom facilities with hot showers are just a short stroll away. The ranch’s Rodeo Arena hosts a weekly Saturday Night Rodeo, where some of Florida’s best rodeo athletes

compete in barrel racing, bull riding and more. Among the many ranch activities are horseback riding, airboat and swamp buggy rides along the Kissimmee River and the surrounding wilderness,

mini golf and a petting farm. RV sites start at $59 per night. MISTY MOUNTAIN CAMP RESORT, GREENWOOD, VIRGINIA For a vacation near the wineries and rolling foothills of Virginia’s Blue

Ridge Mountains, plan your stay at this lovely RV park west of Charlottesville. The Misty Mountain Camp Resort sprawls across 50 acres and has RV sites with gravel pull-through and back-in

parking pads, electricity and water, and your own picnic table and fire rings, so you can enjoy the outdoor camp life too. There are laundry facilities and hot showers on-site as well. The

entertainment comes to you on summer and fall weekends, when live bands and local food trucks set up on-site. Other amenities include a jump pad and playgrounds for kids, a fishing pond

stocked with bluegill and bass, basketball and volleyball courts, and even cornhole and horseshoes. Rates start at $56 per night. SEA RANCH RESORT, CANNON BEACH, OREGON For great hiking and

spectacular coastal views, there’s nothing quite like vacationing along the thickly forested Pacific Coast. At Sea Ranch Resort, you can settle in for an RV stay that’s within easy reach of

some of the West Coast’s most beautiful nature. All sites here have electricity and water, and some have sewage hookups too. The resort is just a few blocks from the ocean and downtown

Cannon Beach in an area of incredible wilderness where elk sometimes pass through. Among the amenities are fire rings with grill tops, laundry and hot showers, and a sauna facility that

costs $35 per person to use for up to two hours. RV sites with full hookups start at $90 per night. The campground at Indiana Dunes State Park is set along Lake Michigan. Indiana Dunes

State Park INDIANA DUNES STATE PARK, CHESTERTON, INDIANA The campground at Indiana Dunes State Park (not to be confused with the nearby national park with a similar name) offers RVers the

chance to experience some of the Midwest’s most spellbinding scenery. Set along Lake Michigan, the park sprawls across more than 2,100 acres and has more than 3 miles of pristine beachfront

that’s particularly popular (and busy) during the summer months. You can stock up on groceries in Chesterton, just outside the park gate, or in Michigan City, less than 8 miles away. There

are 134 sites with full electrical hookups, along with up-to-date restrooms and shower facilities. RV sites are roughly $23 per night.
