RV Destinations along Road Less Traveled

Avoid the crowds this summer and head your RV down the road less traveled. Yellowstone, Yosemite and the Grand Canyon, while the most traveled, aren’t the only national parks filled with incredible vistas and amazing wildlife. America is home to 58 national parks, each capturing a unique taste of our country’s natural beauty.

For a taste of something different, RV owners should try one of these less traveled national park sites:

Hot Springs, Arkansas. The smallest national park at just 5,549 acres, Hot Springs boasts 47 thermal springs bubbling with 143-degree water. Indulge in a soothing soak or steam at restored 1920′s Fordyce Bathhouse. 

Acadia, Maine. Watch bald eagles soar over the pink granite cliffs of the rugged Maine coastline. Sandy beaches and small rocky islands are home to 300 bird species including our national icon.

Big Bend, Texas. A stargazer’s delight, Big Bend boasts the darkest skies and most incredible view of the stars. Here the Milky Way shines so brightly it creates shadows!

Badlands, South Dakota. Like nature’s biggest whack-a-mole game, thousands of prairie dogs pop their heads in and out of the ground at the 1,000-acre Badlands prairie dog town. Wildlife is abundant in the ethereal Badlands. Watch for buffalo, black-footed ferrets and pronghorn.

Everglades, Florida. Keep your eyes peeled for gators as you hike, canoe or kayak through the Everglades’ lush swampy jungle. The last of the dinosaurs, alligators date back 65 million years and can grow to 65 feet. Beware of floating logs with eyes!
