    Boston and Washington D.C. RV Trips, Budget Camping in Acadia, Renting a Motorhome

    Every week, we receive fantastic questions from The RV Atlas community, and this week, we’re tackling three trending topics: RVing to Boston and Washington DC, budget-friendly camping in Acadia National Park, and renting a motorhome for the first time. Whether you're planning an urban RV adventure, looking for affordable ways to explore a national park, or thinking about renting an RV, we’ve got you covered with advice from members of The RV Atlas private Facebook group, and our own personal experiences.  Thank you to Bill Sferrazza for the featured image of Spacious Skies Minuteman! RVing to Boston and Washington DC: Best Campgrounds and Transportation Tips One of our community members, Tina, wrote in with the following question: “Last year, we took a long weekend trip to DC and camped at Cherry Hill RV Park near the University of Maryland. It was a great base to explore the city since the train was nearby. This year, we’d love to do something similar in Boston. Can anyone recommend a good RV campground near Boston?” Cherry Hill RV Park is widely regarded as one of the best urban RV parks in the country, offering easy access to Washington DC’s public transit system, great amenities, and a well-maintained property. Fortunately, Boston has a couple of great RV-friendly options that offer a similar experience: 1. Normandy Farms Campground Location: Foxborough, MA (between Boston and Providence, RI) Why We Love It: One of the oldest and most well-established RV resorts in the country, Normandy Farms offers high-end amenities, including multiple pools, a fitness center, and planned activities. It’s not directly in Boston, but its location allows access to both Boston and Cape Cod. Public Transit Access: Normandy Farms is about 30 miles from Boston, so you’ll need to drive or use public transportation from a nearby commuter rail station. 2. Spacious Skies Minuteman Campground photo by Bill Sferrazza Location: Littleton, MA (north of Boston) Why We Love It: Spacious Skies Minuteman Campground is a budget-friendly alternative with wooded campsites, a pool, a playground, and a game room. It’s also close to Walden Pond, making it a great option for nature lovers. Public Transit Access: A commuter rail station nearby provides easy transport into downtown Boston. Exclusive Discount: Use code RVATLAS for 10% off your stay at Spacious Skies Minuteman! Both options have been highly recommended by our RV Atlas community, offering a mix of affordability and access to Boston’s historic sites, dining, and attractions. Budget-Friendly Camping in Acadia National Park Taylor Riley asked the following: “Can anyone help me plan a budget-friendly trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park? We have three young kids and want to do all the affordable and fun activities we can. This will be a 3-4 day trip.” Acadia National Park is a spectacular destination, but it can be pricey, especially during peak season. Here are our best budget-friendly camping and activity tips: Affordable Campground Options Hadley’s Point Campground – A family-friendly private campground with reasonable rates, located just outside the park. Seawall Campground, Blackwoods Campground, and Schoodic Woods Campground – National Park campgrounds with great locations. If your RV fits within size restrictions, these are affordable choices inside Acadia National Park. Budget-Friendly Activities in Acadia Free & Cheap Attractions: Thunder Hole and Sand Beach on Park Loop Road – Must see fun stops in the park. Echo Lake – A great free swimming spot inside the park. Hike to Bar Island – Walk the land bridge at low tide,

    Ocean Lakes Family Campground Review + Our 14 Favorite Things to Do in Myrtle Beach

    Myrtle Beach has long been a favorite destination for RVers, offering a mix of beachfront camping, family-friendly entertainment, and outdoor recreation. In this week’s episode of The RV Atlas, we dive into a review of Ocean Lakes Family Campground, one of the largest and most well-known campgrounds on the East Coast. Then, we share our top things to do in Myrtle Beach, from state parks to local dining and fun attractions. Whether you’re planning a family getaway or a relaxing escape, this guide will help you make the most of your Myrtle Beach RV trip. Thanks to Bill Sferrazza for the photos of Ocean Lakes Family Campground that appear in this post. Ocean Lakes Family Campground Review A Campground with History Ocean Lakes Family Campground opened in 1971 with just 30 RV sites and one bathhouse. Over the decades, it has expanded significantly and now features 859 RV sites and nearly 2,600 land-lease homes. This transformation has turned Ocean Lakes into a self-contained resort, offering a mix of vacation rentals, full-hookup RV sites, and beachfront access. Location and Accessibility Located on South Kings Highway in Myrtle Beach, Ocean Lakes is the southernmost of the city’s mega-campgrounds. It’s just north of Murrells Inlet and conveniently positioned between the bustling boardwalk area of Myrtle Beach and the quieter state parks to the south. This prime location makes it easy to explore both lively attractions and serene natural spaces. Campsite Options and Pricing Ocean Lakes offers pull-through RV sites, making it easy for large rigs to maneuver. Most sites near the beach feature concrete pads, while those farther inland provide a mix of shaded, grass-covered spots. Pricing varies throughout the year: January–April & November–December: $48–$53 per night April–May & September: $70–$75 per night June–August (Peak Season): $106–$111 per night For a beachfront location with resort-level amenities, these rates are reasonable compared to other high-demand oceanfront camping destinations. Seasonal Atmosphere: What to Expect Ocean Lakes has distinct seasonal vibes, and knowing what to expect can help you plan accordingly: Summer: Packed with families, golf carts everywhere, and a high-energy, social environment. Spring Break & Shoulder Seasons: Busy, but slightly less crowded. Fall: A quieter, more relaxed atmosphere with retirees and seasonal campers. Halloween Weekends: A festive time with decorated campsites and campground-wide trick-or-treating. Amenities and Activities Ocean Lakes is a small city in itself, providing nearly everything you need for a full vacation without leaving the property: Waterpark & Pools: Includes a lazy river, multiple pools, splash zones, and straight-drop water slides. On-Site Dining: Casual eateries offering breakfast, lunch, dinner, and ice cream. Grocery Store & RV Services: A full-service store and RV repair shop. Golf Cart Rentals: A must-have for getting around this massive resort. Game Room & Recreation Center: A fun indoor space for kids and families. Beachfront Access: Walk directly onto the sand from your campsite. Potential Downsides Busy Summer Scene: If you prefer quiet, avoid June–August. Golf Cart Traffic: The sheer number of golf carts can be overwhelming. Limited Privacy: Sites are medium-sized but close together. Overall, Ocean Lakes Family Campground delivers an exceptional beachfront camping experience, especially for those who love a social, amenity-rich campground. Looking for other great camping options in and around Myrtle Beach?

    Is Seasonal Camping Right for Your Family? Tips, Tricks, Costs, and Considerations

    Is Seasonal Camping Right for Your Family? If you love RVing but find yourself struggling to make time for weekend getaways, seasonal camping might be the perfect solution. Rather than hauling your RV to a new campground every trip, seasonal camping allows you to set up at one campground for an extended period—typically an entire season or even a whole year. This setup offers a home-away-from-home experience without the hassle of hitching, towing, and setting up every time you want to enjoy some time at the campground with family and friends. In this episode of The RV Atlas, we explore seasonal camping and whether it’s a good fit for different types of RVers. We also talk with Ali Rasmussen from Spacious Skies Campgrounds, to learn about their seasonal camping options in New England, the Mid-Atlantic, and the South. Could seasonal camping be the right choice for your RV adventures? Let’s dive in. Thanks to Bill Sferrazza for the cover photo for this post. Why Try Seasonal Camping? For many RVers, seasonal camping is a game-changer. Instead of spending time planning, packing, and traveling, you can arrive at a pre-set site that’s ready for you to enjoy. Here are some of the top reasons why seasonal camping might be a great option for your family. 1. You Have a Busy Schedule but Still Want to Camp Between work, kids’ sports, and social commitments, finding time for weekend camping trips can be challenging. A seasonal site allows for last-minute getaways. Many families with sports schedules, for example, can head to their campsite right after Saturday morning games without the stress of packing up their entire RV. 2. You Want an Affordable Weekend Escape For those considering a vacation home, seasonal camping is a much more budget-friendly alternative. Buying a beach house or mountain cabin is out of reach for many, but setting up a fifth wheel or travel trailer on a seasonal site offers similar perks at a fraction of the cost. 3. You Can’t Park Your RV at Home Many HOAs and city ordinances prevent RV parking in driveways, forcing owners to pay for offsite storage. Rather than spending money just to store your RV, why not put that investment toward a seasonal campsite where you can actually use it? 4. You Want to Be Part of a Campground Community Photo by Bill Sferrazza Seasonal camping provides the opportunity to develop friendships with fellow campers. Many seasonal campgrounds have community events, from cook-offs to game nights, making it easy to get to know your neighbors. 5. You’re Not Using Your RV Enough If you’re worried that your RV is sitting unused, a seasonal site could help you maximize your investment. With less effort required to set up camp, it becomes much easier to enjoy spur-of-the-moment trips. 6. You Love a Specific Destination Do you find yourself returning to the same region again and again? Whether it's the Jersey Shore, the Adirondacks, or the mountains of North Carolina, seasonal camping gives you a home base in your favorite spot. How to Find the Right Seasonal Campground If seasonal camping sounds like a good fit, the next step is to find the right campground for your needs. Here are some factors to consider. Many of these tips come from our friends Jon and Heather and an earlier podcast we did with them a few years back. 1. The Campground’s Overall Vibe Some campgrounds are family-friendly and bustling, while others cater to quiet retreats. Do you want a lakefront view, full-hookup convenience, or amenities like pools and playgrounds? Visit in person if possible to get a feel for the atmosphere before committing. 2.

    10 Tips for Visiting all 63 National Parks (with Shellie Bailey-Shah from Kid Tripster)

    Visiting all 63 U.S. National Parks is a dream for many RV owners, but it’s no small feat. Between logistics, budgeting, and time constraints, planning visits to all the parks requires some serious strategy. In this episode of The RV Atlas, podcast, we interview Shellie Bailey-Shah, a seasoned traveler and founder of KidTripster, who has visited every single U.S. National Park. With years of experience RVing across the country, she shares practical tips for visiting all 63 National Parks—whether you want to visit them all in a few years or spread them out over a few decades. If you’ve ever wondered how to make a goal like this happen, listen to the podcast episode or read on for 10 expert tips that will help you efficiently and meaningfully explore America’s most iconic and cherished landscapes. This is part four of a four-part series on National Parks with Shellie--here are the first three podcasts in this series: 8 Great National Parks for Kids The 5 Most Underrated National Parks in America 13 National Parks You Can't Visit By RV 1. Establish a Realistic Goal photo provided by Shellie Bailey-Shah Seeing all 63 national parks is a huge undertaking, and for many, it may not be a feasible goal. Some of the most remote parks—like American Samoa National Park and Gates of the Arctic in Alaska—are incredibly difficult (and expensive) to reach. Shellie suggests setting a realistic goal that works for you: Visiting all the parks in the continental U.S. Completing the western parks or the Big Five in Utah Exploring a set number of parks each year By defining what success looks like before you start planning, you’ll avoid frustration and create an achievable bucket list. 2. Plan Park Visits Based on Your RV Size Many national parks have length restrictions for RVs, particularly for in-park campgrounds. If you currently own a smaller RV but plan to upgrade in the future, visit the size-restricted parks first. Shellie’s family followed this strategy by visiting length-restricted parks in their 31-foot RV before upgrading to a 38-foot RV. This allowed them to experience certain campgrounds that would not have been accessible later. Some parks with notable RV length restrictions include: Lassen Volcanic National Park, CA (35-foot limit in campgrounds) Zion National Park, UT (Tunnel restrictions for rigs over 11’4”) Glacier National Park, MT (Vehicle restrictions on Going-to-the-Sun Road) 3. Group National Parks Together for Efficient Travel Rather than making individual trips to parks spread across the country, maximize efficiency by visiting parks in geographically connected clusters. Some natural groupings include: Yellowstone & Grand Teton Utah’s Big Five: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Arches, and Canyonlands Theodore Roosevelt, Badlands & Wind Cave Colorado’s Three Parks: Rocky Mountain, Mesa Verde, and Great Sand Dunes By bundling parks together, you reduce travel time, save money, and create more immersive trips. 4. Consider a Cross-Country Adventure For those committed to visiting many parks in a short period, a cross-country RV trip is a fantastic way to check off multiple destinations. Shellie has done two coast-to-coast trips, using different routes each time to maximize the number of parks visited. On one cross-country trip, her family hit 10 national parks, strategically planning stops to get the most out of their time on the road. If you have the time and flexibility, consider taking a long-haul RV trip that incorporates multiple parks, covering different regions of the country in one go.

    2025 RV and Camping Trends: Our Take On Reports from RVshare and The Dyrt

    The 2025 camping season is shaping up to be an interesting one, with new trends and insights emerging from two of the most respected reports in the industry: RVshare's Travel Trend Report 2025 and The Dyrt's 2025 Camping Report. These reports aim to predict where RV and camping trends travel headed in the coming year. One of the biggest takeaways? RVing and camping remain as popular as ever, but the way people travel and plan their trips is evolving. From shifting demographics and flexible work travel to campground booking challenges and the rise of passion-driven adventures, these reports provide valuable insights for anyone planning a camping trip in 2025. In this week’s RV Atlas podcast episode, Jeremy and Stephanie discuss many of the key RV and camping trends from these reports and explore what they mean for actual campers and RVers. Who is Camping in 2025? A Shift in Demographics One of the most eye-catching trends in the RVshare Travel Trend Report is the continued rise of younger generations in the RVing space. While RVing was once associated primarily with retirees, that perception is changing quickly. Last year, everyone was saying “the Boomers are back!” But this year didn’t show that trend continuing.  76% of Millennials (ages 29-44) say they are interested in RV travel this year, making them the largest age group of RV travelers. 67% of Gen Z (ages 13-28) also express interest in taking an RV trip, showing a strong demand among younger adventurers. Gen X (ages 45-60) remains steady at 67%, while only 29% of Boomers (ages 61-70) plan to take an RV trip—a significant drop compared to past years. These numbers indicate a major generational shift in RV and camping trends, with younger travelers embracing RVing and outdoor adventure. Millennials are in the prime family-travel years, and many see RVing as an affordable way to vacation with kids. Meanwhile, Gen Z is showing strong interest in road-tripping and the RV lifestyle, but in a way that fits their unique travel style—shorter trips, experience-driven adventures, and solo or small-group travel. Fewer Trips, Higher Budgets: The “Splurgecation” Trend The RVshare report highlights a key shift in how people are spending their travel dollars. Many travelers are planning fewer trips in 2025, but they’re spending more money per trip to make those vacations more special. 63% of travelers say they will take fewer trips in 2025 but spend more per trip. More travelers are focusing on one big annual RV trip rather than frequent weekend getaways. Campers are willing to splurge on upgraded experiences, premium campgrounds, and adventure activities like ziplining, guided tours, and fine dining. This trend reflects how travelers are prioritizing quality over quantity when it comes to their vacations. Instead of packing in multiple small trips, they’re focusing on bucket-list destinations and memorable experiences—whether that means staying at a high-end RV resort, booking a scenic boondocking site, or planning a month-long cross-country road trip. Passion-Driven Travel: RVing for Experiences, Not Just Destinations One of the most interesting trends highlighted in RVshare's report is the rise of passion-driven travel. Instead of simply picking a destination like Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon, more travelers are choosing trips based on their interests and hobbies. Popular themes include: Baseball Stadium Tours – RVers mapping out road trips to visit multiple Major League Baseball parks. Food and Drink Trips – Exploring regional cuisine, breweries, or distilleries along an RV route. Historical Sightseeing – Visiting Civil War battlefields, presidential landmarks, or famous film locations.

    Florida RV SuperShow Top Picks, Part 2 (inTech, Jayco, Westfalia, Wingamm, Modern Buggy+More)

    On this podcast episode, we return with Part 2 of our top picks from the Florida RV SuperShow, one of the largest and most exciting RV events of the year. Last week, we covered Alliance, Brinkley, and nuCamp, diving deep into the buzz and reputation of those brands. This week, we’re highlighting six more standout RVs that caught our attention, including options for families, solo travelers, and adventure seekers alike. Let’s dive in. inTech Aucta Sycamore: A Spacious, Versatile Travel Trailer Show Price: $86,500 inTech is known for its high-quality aluminum construction, and the Aucta Sycamore is no exception. This is the largest travel trailer the company has ever built, coming in at 30 feet long with a UVW around 7,000 pounds and CCC between 2,300-2,600 pounds. It features a panoramic front window that allows for stunning campsite views and a sleek, modern design. What really makes the Aucta Sycamore stand out is its bunk room, which isn’t just for sleeping—it’s a multi-functional flex space that can serve as an office, lounge, or gear storage area thanks to its cargo door. Families with kids or remote-working RVers will love the adaptability of this design. If you’ve admired InTech’s smaller trailers but wanted more space, this is one to check out. Jayco Redhawk SE 31FF: A Budget-Friendly Family Class C Show Price: $94,995 Finding a Class C motorhome under $100K is a rare feat these days, but the Jayco Redhawk SE 31FF delivers. Built on a Ford E450 chassis, this budget-friendly Class C is designed with families in mind. It sleeps five people without needing to convert a bed, and if you convert the dinette, you can accommodate up to seven. The layout provides privacy for parents, a spacious bunk area for kids, and plenty of seating. One design compromise is the narrow entrance to the master bedroom, which some may find a bit tight. Additionally, while the rig offers great sleeping space, counter space in the kitchen is limited—something to consider if you love to cook while traveling. If you're in the market for an affordable, well-designed Class C, this one should be on your radar. Airstream Basecamp 16: Small But Mighty MSRP: $48,300 We couldn’t resist revisiting the Airstream Basecamp 16, a trailer we’ve owned in the past and still wish we hadn’t sold. This compact adventure trailer is perfect for solo travelers or couples who want an easy-to-tow, highly functional space. The front kitchen layout and wrap-around windows make it feel much larger than its footprint suggests. If you’re looking for a small trailer that can handle off-grid adventures but still provides comfort, the Basecamp 16 remains one of the best options on the market. With an MSRP of $48,300, it offers an affordable entry into the Airstream lifestyle. Westfalia Wave Pop-Top: Bringing a Vibe to Class B Vans Show Price: $151,832 Westfalia has made a splash with the Wave Pop-Top Class B camper van. Unlike many Class Bs that stick to neutral tones and predictable designs, this one offers fun color choices like Spitfire Orange and Cherry Red Crystal, giving it a distinct personality. Built on a Ram Promaster chassis, the Wave Pop-Top features a pop-up roof for extra sleeping space, a flexible seating arrangement, and a spacious rear cargo area that can easily accommodate e-bikes or adventure gear. With its cool, modern graphics and fun aesthetic, this camper van is designed for younger van lifers—or anyone who wants to feel young! Wingamm Oasi 540.1: A Compact, European-Style Motorhome Show Price: $180,000 One of the most unique motorhomes at the SuperShow was the Wingamm Oasi 540.

    Florida RV SuperShow, Top Picks Part 1 (Alliance, Brinkley, and nüCamp)

    The RV Atlas Season 11 Kicks Off at the Florida RV Supershow We’ve officially launched the 11th season of The RV Atlas podcast, starting with a two-part series on one of the most exciting annual events in the RV industry: the Florida RV Supershow. Held in Tampa, Florida, this massive event brings together manufacturers, vendors, and RV enthusiasts from across the country. In this episode, we dive into why the Florida RV Supershow is a bucket-list event for many RVers, and we also highlight some standout picks from Alliance, Brinkley, and nüCamp. If you are visiting an RV show this winter, check out our RV Show Shopping Tips and Tricks Why the Florida RV Supershow is the Best in the Country The Florida RV Supershow has earned its reputation as one of the top RV events in the nation. With over 1,500 RVs on display, it’s one of the largest RV shows in the U.S. by volume. The event spans the Florida State Fairgrounds and features everything from entry-level campers to luxurious motorhomes. What sets this show apart is its festival-like atmosphere. Live music, street performers, and food vendors create a festive vibe, making it feel more like a celebration than a trade show. For RV enthusiasts, the Supershow is a chance to see the latest innovations, meet content creators, and connect with other RVers. Another highlight is the January timing. While much of the country battles winter weather, Tampa’s mild climate makes it the perfect escape. Whether you’re shopping for a new RV or just looking to immerse yourself in RV culture, this show should go on your RV destination bucket list if you haven't experienced it already. Alliance RV: Destination Trailers and a Devoted Community Alliance RV has quickly become one of the most talked-about brands in the industry. Known for its high-quality fifth wheels and travel trailers, Alliance has cultivated a loyal following, affectionately referred to as “Allies.” Their community-building efforts are evident, with active social media groups and passionate owners. At the Supershow, Alliance unveiled the company's first destination trailers: the Benchmark 42LFT and the 44LFT. These park-model-style RVs are designed for seasonal camping and offer a luxurious home-away-from-home experience. Both models feature spacious interiors with modern decor, abundant natural light, and well-thought-out layouts. Benchmark 42LFT: Includes one loft area and a single bathroom. Show price: $99,995. Benchmark 44LFT: Features two loft areas and two full bathrooms, making it ideal for families or hosting guests. Show price: $99,995. These trailers are perfect for those who prefer to have their RV delivered to a seasonal site. Alliance’s entry into this category demonstrates its ability to adapt and innovate. Brinkley RV: Buzz and Luxury Brinkley RV may be newer to the scene, but it’s already making waves. At the Supershow, their display was packed with visitors eager to see the latest offerings. Brinkley’s sleek, modern designs and attention to detail have set it apart from competitors. The Brinkley Model I travel trailers were a standout: Model I 265: At 29 feet 11 inches, this travel trailer features a luxurious interior and a well-designed floor plan. Show price: $59,999. Model I 275: Slightly larger at 30 feet 11 inches, this model offers a more open living space and elevated finishes. Show price: $62,999. Both models feature innovative touches like a dual-purpose window and projector screen. Brinkley’s commitment to quality and style ensures these trailers will appeal to discerning buyers looking for something unique.

    An Epic RV Trip Through Utah (Utah’s Mighty 5 + 4 Amazing State Parks)

    Utah is home to some of the most iconic landscapes in the United States, making it a bucket-list destination for RVers. While many know about Utah's Mighty 5 national parks—Bryce Canyon, Zion, Capitol Reef, Arches, and Canyonlands—the state’s remarkable state parks often fly under the radar. In this guide and corresponding podcast episode (click on the media player above) , Ellen Broude shares all the details of her two-week RV adventure exploring both the Mighty Five and four incredible state parks: Kodachrome Basin, Coral Pink Sand Dunes, Goblin Valley, and Dead Horse Point. From jaw-dropping hikes to serene campgrounds, this journey showcases the best of what Utah has to offer. Bryce National Park Photo By Ellen Broude Bryce Canyon National Park is renowned for its otherworldly hoodoos—tall, thin spires of rock shaped by centuries of erosion. Home to the largest concentration of hoodoos on Earth, this park’s dramatic landscapes are particularly breathtaking at sunrise, when the light casts vivid hues of orange and red across the amphitheater. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned adventurer, Bryce offers a wealth of unforgettable experiences. Hikes Navajo Loop and Queen’s Garden Trail: This popular 3-mile loop takes you through towering hoodoos and dramatic switchbacks. It’s a moderate hike with stunning views at every turn. Sunrise Point to Sunset Point: A scenic 1-mile rim walk offering spectacular views of the amphitheater below. This easy trail is perfect for visitors of all ages. Mossy Cave Trail: A short hike leading to a waterfall and a cave, with interpretive signage detailing the area’s history, including the water diversion efforts of early Mormon settlers. Kodachrome State Park photo by Ellen Broude Kodachrome Basin State Park serves as a base camp, located just 30 minutes from Bryce Canyon. Named by a National Geographic Society expedition in 1948, this park is famous for its vibrant rock formations and spires that tower against a bright blue sky—a photographer’s dream. This state park is every bit as grand as any of Utah's Might 5. Where to Camp Camp at the Basin Campground, which offers full hookups, clean facilities, and access to stunning hiking trails. On arrival, Ellen opted for an overflow site near the visitor center—a decision she was thrilled with. The site features epic views of the park’s rugged terrain and convenient access to amenities like Wi-Fi and ranger-led programs. Hikes Angel’s Palace Trail: A moderately easy hike with a brief steep section at the start. Once at the top, the trail flattens out, offering panoramic views of the park. Shakespeare Arch Trail: Though the arch itself fell in 2019, the trail provides fascinating geological insights and a peaceful hiking experience. Willis Creek Slot Canyon: Located within Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, this family-friendly hike meanders through narrow, winding slot canyons. It’s a must-see for those in the area. Grovenor Arch: A short, paved walk leads to this stunning double arch formation, also part of Grand Staircase-Escalante. Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park photo by Ellen Broude Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park is an impromptu overnight stop for Ellen, and it does not disappoint. Imagine Great Sand Dunes National Park, but on a smaller scale with pink-red sand. The park is a haven for ATV riders, with trails that wind through the dunes. Its full-hookup campground offers great Wi-Fi at the visitor center and easy access to these unique landscapes. Zion National Park photo by Ellen Broude Zion National Park is a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts, with its towering red cliffs, narrow slot canyons, and lush river valleys. This park is also home to a rich diversity of wildlife,
