Top 20 Destinations for Summer (2024 Edition)

Your 2024 summer adventure awaits with 20 diverse destinations across North America. From vibrant cities to stunning landscapes, this guide has the perfect spot for every RV adventurer, including places to stay and places to play. Before putting your Spring Break itinerary together, check out five apps we love for trip planning.

Our Five Fave Apps for RVers

If you read travel blogs or follow travel influencers, you’ve noticed everyone has a few favorite travel apps. Storage space on most devices won’t allow you to download every app. Besides, you only need a handful of well-chosen apps for successful road trips.

devices-v3 (1).png

Most RVers consider RV Trip Wizard a must-have tool for trip planning. Think of it as the glue that holds each trip together. The Visual RV Trip Planner includes several advanced features, including distance rings to help you plan where to stop each day.

The Planner customizes routes based on your RV’s height and weight, avoiding low clearances and other restrictions. You can even include your Harvest Host bookings in the Trip Wizard tool (once the host confirms). A favorite feature of Trip Wizard is the ability to filter what you want to see on the Visual Planner. I love that I can find my favorite fuel stops on the map, and can plan for fuel stops based on my RV’s fuel capacity and mileage.

One precaution! You can select the types of roads you want to avoid, such as interstates, toll roads, etc. The app will obey your commands, but you may end up traveling on rural roads with long distances between fuel and rest stops. One of the most robust trip-planning tools available, Trip Wizard is part of the RV LIFE Pro membership. Membership includes access to the RV Life GPS, an RV-friendly turn-by-turn GPS program.

Try before you buy with the RV Life Pro 7-day free trial subscription.

For unique experiences at vineyards, breweries, farms, museums, and other unique spots, you’ll want to install the Harvest Hosts app. Icons on the map indicate whether you’ll be staying at a farm, a brewery, or an attraction. The filters on the mobile app allow you to view hosts by type, size rig they can accommodate, pets, same-day booking, etc. Filters can save a huge amount of time by leaving out hosts that don’t quite meet your specific needs.

In the app, you can find details about the host, check availability, and submit a request to book your one-night stay. If the host offers products or services, they often list those in the app. As part of the Harvest Host’s etiquette for guests. It’s suggested to make a small purchase during your stay. You can get more information about the Harvest Hosts membership and app here.

Boondockers Welcome offers access to a wide range of host locations, including rural properties, farms, suburban areas, and off-the-beaten-path gems. Some stays are in an urban host’s driveway. Others are in wooded areas with pond views.

During your stay, you may have access to electricity, water, and an RV dump station. Some hosts offer these services at no charge, while others request a small fee. You’ll find each host’s preferences and rules in the app. Hosts sometimes mention activities and nearby attractions and even offer to share more information if needed.

What many RVers love about Boondockers Welcome is the friendships often made with hosts. It’s not unusual for hosts to share a campfire or other activity with guests. If you’re not yet a member, you can join here.

If your RV travels lean toward unconventional or off-grid experiences, iOverlander is a free, community-driven database of campsites, fuel stops, and more. It thrives on the collective wisdom of travelers who share real-time insights. Users contribute GPS-tagged locations with concise details and photos.

One limitation of iOverlander is availability—while you can access the app while offline, you can’t view the map. Android devices may cache part of the map, so you can see locations previously viewed.

Check out what iOverlander has to offer here.

Find a curated selection of top-notch campgrounds when you use the free Campendium app. Like many other travel apps, Campendium includes a star rating system and posts user reviews. Not only does the app offer access to RV parks, it has sections where you can find free camping, sites in National Parks and Forests, and information about camping in state parks.

While you can’t reserve a site online through the app, Campendium does list websites and contact information for each park featured on the site. Soon users will need to sign up for a free Roadpass account to access Campendium. You can do it here.
