Popular RV Destinations in Summer

Summer 2022 is just around the corner and although full time RVing is increasingly popular, and proper skirts open up options for cold weather camping, it’s summer that offers the most RVing opportunities for travel destinations and brings the most RVers out onto the roads to soak up the sun at these destinations.

With that in mind, I wanted to take a fresh look at the best summer RV destinations. Instead of giving my own opinion, I’ve looked at all the existing suggestions I could find published, tallied up the suggested places to go, and have outlined the aggregated results below from most “votes” to least “votes”. After, I cut the data some different ways to see which cities and states are the best to travel to in an RV during summer. Scroll down to see the ranked results.
