How to Have the Ultimate Camping Road Trip

Sometimes you just need to get away. If you’re like most people, you’ve been practicing social distancing safety measures, wearing a mask everywhere you go and keeping six feet apart from everyone. You may even have been working from home for months on end.

While these protocols are in place to keep us safe, it can start to feel overwhelming. Why not plan a camping road trip with your family or friends to take a break from it all? Get out and see the countryside and experience an adventure.

However, for the best experience, you should probably take a little time to plan a camping road trip, rather than just setting sail and seeing where the wind takes you. We can help. Keep reading for everything you need to know.

1. Buy or Rent a Camper or RV

First, if you want to take an extended trip without sacrificing comfort and convenience, we highly recommend getting a camper or RV. If you don’t have one already and don’t want to buy one, most RV dealerships have rental options.

When you travel with a camper or RV, you can take your time, find beautiful locations to boondock (camp off-grid), and haul everything you and your family need.

2. Make a Bucket List of Destinations

Next, camping road trip planning means figuring out where you’re going to go before heading out. This is important, especially if you’re planning a trip with a limited timeframe or on a budget. Sit down with your family and make a list of top destination spots.

Then, you can plan the most efficient and practical route. From here, you can get a rough estimate of mileage, fuel consumption, and time on the road.

3. Scope Out RV Campsites

Once you know where you’re going, you can do a little research to find camper and RV sites along the way. This is vital for things like refueling, filling propane tanks, filling up water tanks, emptying gray and black tanks, and restocking on supplies. Check out Leisureland RV for some top-level camping sites your family won’t want to miss.

4. Make a Camping Gear Checklist

Before you leave, we also recommend creating a road trip planner. In your planner, you should write down your destinations, your camping routes, potential lodging or overnight sites, and more, as noted above. However, your planner should also include a camping gear and supply checklist.

Write down everything you’re going to want or need on the trip so nothing slips through the cracks. Nothing spoils a good trip like leaving behind essential items.

5. Go At the Right Time With the Right People

Finally, a camping road trip is best enjoyed with the right company. Most people travel with their families, which provides a great opportunity to reconnect, away from technology and the obligations of everyday life.

However, you may also choose to travel with friends. In this case, you can all travel in one RV/camper or travel in a convoy. It depends on how close you want to be, how many people are coming, and your preferences.

Lastly, make sure you go at the right time. You may want to plan your camping trip around nice weather. Alternatively, you may want to avoid nice weather, as it brings the most tourists.
