RVing has never been more popular in the US, and with travel costs for airfare and accommodations ever increasing, vacationing to an RV resort is a tempting alternative — especially if you want to see a lot in a short time but in a great deal of comfort.Add to this a growing interest by millennials and young families joining the van life movement and minimalist lifestyle — plus the ability to work from the road with new technology — and suddenly you’re not looking at your grandparents’ form of RVing anymore.There are just as many types of recreational vehicles as there are ways to enjoy them. Want to ramble down the Big Sur Coastal Highway? You can in a motorhome. Ready to explore the majestic American Southwest? A class-A or -C RV is your new best friend.And speaking of friends, you’ll definitely make them across all demographics when you join the RV club. From boondocking modern nomads with wanderlust, to families looking for a different American Dream, to the Baby-Booming empty nesters and snowbirding road warriors, you’ll enjoy the sense of community and camaraderie unique to this form of adventure travel.Of course, some will argue (us included!) that RVing is more than just about travel. It’s a way of life for many. We’re hard-pressed to find a more fulfilling and frugal way to support an active, balanced lifestyle, stay in touch with nature, and explore the world around us.
Where to Travel
So, do we have you itching for a road trip? RVing makes it easy to get your feet wet with plenty of places to rent a little “mobile motel” for a weekend getaway. Or, if you’ve already taken the plunge with an RV of your own, then you’ve got no excuse to not hit the road!And just where will you go? With more than 13,000 privately owned RV parks and over 1,600 state parks that cater to RVers in the US, there’s no shortage of choices. It really boils down to what area of the country you want to explore, what activities and attractions are important to you, and how long you have to wander the open road.There are great RV resort and campground directory and review sites like Good Sam, CampgroundReviews.com, and that can steer you in the right direction, and we’d like to add our own recommendations to the mix.

Resort: Luxury Family Tradition
Normandy Farms Family Camping Resort** | Foxboro, MA****Why We Love It: **Nestled deep in the woods between Boston and Cape Cod, Normandy Farms is a 387-lot luxury camping destination that has been a family tradition since 1971. One visit (or a virtual one here), and it’s easy to see why it’s earned multiple awards. Even with all the modern amenities, this very special resort harkens back to a bygone era when families would spend entire summers at their “home away from home” (think “Dirty Dancing”).**What To Enjoy:**
Catch some air on the bike park, featuring a jump line, pump track, and skills area.
Pass away the hours at the Creative Arts Center with movies, arts and crafts, cribbage, yoga, and other activities.
Play a round of 18-hole disc golf on a course that is sure to challenge your skills.
