No More ‘Roughing It’ at RV Resorts

Luxury RV resorts have polished the final rough edges off the wild and wooly image anyone may have had about RV camping. Today’s upscale RV campgrounds and posh RV resorts offer all the exciting activities and luxury amenities as their hotel counterparts. The only difference is that you bring your room with you when stay at an RV resort!

Some RV resorts now offer all the trappings of a mini theme park or a luxury spa — and often both! No longer merely a place to park your RV at night, luxury RV resorts have become vacation destinations in their own right. At posh RV resorts, you’re apt to find:

~ water parks with tubes, slides and lazy rivers;

~ well-kept tennis courts and sports facilities. Some resorts offer lessons with a pro or sports camps for kids.

~ bike, boat or horse rentals;

~ putting greens with access to nearby championship golf courses;

~ luxurious spa treatments;

~ planned social activities and kids’ camps; and

~ onsite gourmet restaurants.

While there are still plenty of RV campgrounds that offer a place to park your RV in the midst of the wilderness, even the iconic KOA chain now offers amenities that can include free Wi-Fi, swimming pools with slides, ice cream socials, bike rentals, mini golf, movies under the stars, supervised activities for children, and themed parties for adults. This is not your dad’s idea of camping! And aren’t you glad?!
