RV Road Trips in Fall

RV Road Trips in Fall

There’s no better way to explore America in Fall than on a self-drive RV holiday. Fall transforms the country into a natural spectacle; forests blaze in red and gold, wildlife stirs, and cooler days make travelling more comfortable. The RV travel experts at Worldwide Caravan and Motorhome Holidays have shared their recommendations on why opting for a trip to the USA during this season is so rewarding.

 

California’s Coast: Whales & Ocean Views

Fall brings wildlife spectacles to California’s coast. At Moss Landing, south of San Francisco, humpback and blue whales feed offshore, while migratory birds fill the skies over Elkhorn Slough. The climate remains mild, perfect for kayaking and beach walks. Stop along the coast and enjoy sunrise and sunset on the Pacific from your doorstep.

The National Parks Loop

Starting in Las Vegas, a loop through Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Arches, Bryce Canyon, and Zion is transformed in Fall. The desert heat gives way to crisp air, making hiking and sightseeing more enjoyable amongst the dramatic landscapes of the National Parks as they glow in golden light.

New England: The Quintessential Fall Drive

For classic Fall scenery, New England is a top contender. Travelling from New York through Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Maine your journey brings you to historic towns, covered bridges, and endless backroads framed by brilliant foliage. Late September to October is peak colour season, and woodland campgrounds allow you to wake up immersed in the scenery.

Southern States: Music & Harvests

For a cultural road trip, the Deep South combines music, food, and history. Travelling from Atlanta to Nashville, Memphis, and New Orleans immerses you in country, blues, and jazz. Fall also brings harvest fairs, food festivals and quieter forest drives, such as Mississippi’s Holly Springs National Forest. RV-friendly festivals make it easy to join the celebrations.

Alaska: Wilderness in Fall

Though brief, Fall in Alaska is spectacular. In September, Denali’s tundra glows crimson and gold, wildlife prepares for winter, and the Northern Lights often appear. With fewer visitors, campgrounds are quiet and the sense of wilderness is unforgettable.
