Arches National
Park
What to do: Driving
through Arches National Park feels
like being transported to an alien world with its delicate and inspiring rock
formations. The 43-mile main scenic drive is fully paved with frequent pullouts. If you’re hoping to get in a few hikes and see more
of the arches and windows up close, definitely plan to stay for at least a few
days.
Campsite options: Devils Campground
has only 20 spots inside the park. If you’re open to
boondocking in your RV, there is a tremendous amount of Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
land surrounding the park with several first-come, first-serve campsites.
Capitol Reef
National Park
What to do: Capitol Reef National Park offers
visitors almost a quarter of a million acres of explorable property. With so
much land to see, one of the best ways to experience the park is through a road
tour.
Also hike the lengthy trails and ride through the
winding roads on horseback.
Campsite options: The best part of
staying at Capitol Reef National Park is the endless camping options available.
Stay in luxury at the Fruita Campground or try your hand at primitive camping in
the designated locations.
Grand Canyon
National Park
What to do: No road trip is complete without a visit to the Grand Canyon. The park
ranger programs are an excellent way to go beyond the parking lot views and
make your way deeper into the park.
Campsite options: Three campgrounds
can be found spread throughout this stunning location. Though only the Mather
Campground is open year-round.
Saguaro National
Park
What to do: Saguaro National Park looks
like someone might depict the Southwest in a cartoon. It’s named for its giant
Saguaro cacti that are an average of 50 feet tall and weigh around six tons.
Campsite options: The west side of
the park has options for RV camping, such as Gilbert Ray Campground or Justin’s
Diamond J RV Park. Both have many sites with hookups for your RV.
Joshua Tree
National Park
What to do: Joshua Tree National Park has
a lot more to offer than just those Dr. Seussian-shaped trees. On the scenic
road that loops through the entire park, you’ll notice the two distinct deserts
of The Mojave’s higher elevation and The Colorado’s striking vegetation. The rock formations in this park are incredible and
lead to some world-class rock-climbing areas.
Campsite options: There are
several campgrounds that will fit your RV within the 1,235-square-mile park,
but none of them have hookups.
