Sometimes it’s really easy to get tired of those same old crowded campgrounds and overhyped destinations. If you’re an RV enthusiast looking for some new adventures, you’re in luck! In a video we found, the host reveals five secret RV spots that are perfect for your 2025 travel plans.
These hidden gems offer stunning scenery, rich cultural experiences, and unique camping options that are sure to make your trip memorable. Below, we’ve highlighted the key points from the video, but make sure to watch the entire video at the bottom of this article for a more in-depth look.
1. Monument Valley, Utah
Monument Valley straddles the Utah-Arizona border and is a breathtaking destination that embodies the essence of the American Southwest. “The Towering buttes and mesas are literally like straight out of a classic Western movie,” the video explains.
It’s a dream spot for RV campers seeking natural beauty and cultural enrichment. The area is known for its iconic red sandstone formations and expansive desert views. A funny note: Just make sure your RV doesn’t mistake the buttes for giant red marshmallows!
2. Florida Keys, Florida
Sunshine Key and Fiesta Key are two favorite RV resorts located in the beautiful Florida Keys. “These campgrounds are like their own little islands with water access on three sides,” the video notes. Both resorts offer stunning views of blue-green waters and great amenities. If you’re not a Thousand Trails member, you can still stay at these campgrounds at the retail rate.
And if you want to camp on the cheap, the video suggests using a service called RV to pick up cancellations. Just remember, the only thing more dangerous than a sunburn is trying to wrestle a giant inflatable flamingo into your RV!
3. Liberty Harbor, New York City
Believe it or not, you can RV in the Big Apple! Liberty Harbor is a great campground with a fantastic view of New York City and easy access to public transit.
“The cost for the campground is on the higher end, but comparatively speaking, it is a great cost-effective way to see the city,” the video highlights. It’s only five blocks away from public transit, making it easy to explore the city without the hassle of driving. Just a heads up: Try not to get your RV stuck in Times Square—it’s not a Transformer!
4. Pacific Dunes Ranch, Oceano, California
Pacific Dunes Ranch is part of the Oceano Dunes Natural Preserve, a coastal gem that showcases some of the most extensive coastal dunes remaining in California. “You literally feel like you’re in the middle of the Sahara Desert because the dunes are so large,” the video describes.
This campground is also part of the Encore Thousand Trails system, but you can stay there even if you’re not a member. And remember, sliding down the dunes is fun, but sliding your RV down them? Not so much!
5. Las Cruces, New Mexico
Las Cruces offers breathtaking views and a unique hiking experience. “The Lost Cruces KOA Journey has amazing views, especially during late March and early April when you can see thousands of poppies growing in the fields,” the video shares. The Slot Canyon hike is a must-do, but it involves climbing a fence and walking through a field to get there.
The exact GPS coordinates are provided in the video for those adventurous enough to find it. Just be careful not to get lost and end up in an episode of “Breaking Bad”!
