Catherine's Landing

81 RV Sites, 18 Cottages

Catherine's Landing in Hot Springs, Arkansas, offers 78 RV sites and 18 cottages across 400 acres with a mile of Lake Catherine shoreline, five minutes from downtown Hot Springs. Sites carry full hookups with 30 and 50-amp service and cable TV, take rigs to 65 feet, and include waterfront back-in categories, with a zip line, splash pad, and boat ramp on the property. Seventy-eight sites run in premium back-in and waterfront back-in configurations, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 65 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Eighteen cottages serve guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and a gated entrance handle the practical side. Two policies to note: the resort enforces a ten-year age restriction on RVs, though older coaches are reviewed for approval if you send a photo in advance, and all holiday weekends require a three-night minimum. The 400 acres carry the recreation. A zip line runs the property, a splash pad and outdoor pool cover the swimming season, and a boat ramp and fishing pier give direct access to Lake Catherine's clear, Ouachita-fed water. Canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and fishing all run from camp, with bike rentals, a dog park, playground, clubhouse, pavilion, and pond besides. Pets are welcome. Hot Springs National Park is the smallest in the system and the most historically layered thermal spring community in North America, with Bathhouse Row, Oaklawn racing, and the Mountain Valley Spring heritage all five minutes away. The resort operates through the Arkansas season, with summer lake recreation and the Oaklawn racing calendar driving demand. Book holiday weekends well ahead, and confirm RV age approval before arrival if your coach is over ten years old.

Pine Mountain RV Resort

1 RV Site

Pine Mountain RV Resort in Pine Mountain, Georgia, offers premium full-hookup pull-through RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet, at the base of Pine Mountain in Harris County. An outdoor pool, clubhouse, dog park, and pavilion serve guests exploring one of Georgia's premier inland tourism corridors. Premium pull-through sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. Pulling through means no backing and no unhitching for an overnight. A general store, laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. One policy to check before booking: the resort enforces a ten-year age restriction on RVs, though older coaches are reviewed for approval if you send a photo in advance. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with a clubhouse, pavilion, playground, and dog park across the grounds and a golf course nearby. Pets are welcome. Pine Mountain sits at the southern end of the Appalachian foothills, where the ridge breaks from the Piedmont Plateau into mature hardwood forest, rolling terrain, and creeks draining toward the Flint River. The concentration of attractions along Pine Mountain Ridge is what draws visitors — natural, horticultural, and historical sites cluster here more densely than anywhere else in inland Georgia, and the small-town setting is among the state's more charming. Spring bloom season and fall color drive the heaviest demand along the ridge. Reserve well ahead for those windows, and confirm RV age approval if your coach is over ten years old.

Big Pine Key RV Park

95 RV Sites, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer

Big Pine Key RV Park in Florida offers 96 full-hookup back-in RV sites at Mile Marker 33 in the lower Keys, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Oceanfront and canal back-in categories join 30-amp and 50-amp tiers, with boat docks, a boat ramp, water park, and clubhouse. Ninety-six back-in sites span 30-amp, 50-amp, canal, and oceanfront categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV, sized to 45 feet. The oceanfront and canal categories are the reason to book here — direct water at the site in a place where waterfront is scarce and expensive. Premier rentals round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and boat storage handle the practical side. One important policy: pets are not allowed in the rustic sites, which sit near the protected Key deer — this protects the animals and keeps guests on the right side of Florida wildlife law. A water park and outdoor pool anchor the property, with boat docks, a boat ramp, boat rentals, and a beach opening the water for boating, water sports, swimming, and fishing. A clubhouse, recreation center, craft room, shuffleboard, billiards, horseshoes, walking trails, a playground, and community fire pit fill the rest. Big Pine Key sits past the bustle of Key West and Marathon, where the pace slows and the National Key Deer Refuge protects the tiny deer found nowhere else on earth. Winter is decisively the season in the Keys. Book well ahead for January through April.

Raccoon Mountain Caverns & Campground

55 RV Sites, 9 Cabins, 22 Tent Sites, 5 Glamping Sites

Raccoon Mountain Caverns and Campground in Chattanooga, Tennessee, offers 55 full-hookup RV sites, nine cabins, 22 tent sites, and five glamping sites at the entrance to a 5.5-mile guided cave system, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 60 feet. Compact and deluxe pull-through categories join rustic back-in sites, with a pool, fitness center, and clubhouse. Fifty-five sites span compact pull-thru, compact pull-thru max tow, deluxe pull-thru, and rustic back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The compact max-tow category is a thoughtful distinction for smaller rigs with a vehicle in tow. Nine cabins, 22 tent sites, and five glamping sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Three policies to know: no hammocks or car camping on any site, no tents on RV sites, RVs manufactured before 2000 require photo approval, and you must be 21 to book. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a fitness center, clubhouse, pavilion, basketball, shuffleboard, corn hole, walking trails, hiking, a playground, and dog park besides. Sleeping beside the cave entrance is the singular draw — one of the Southeast's most accessible wild cavern experiences, with Lookout Mountain and downtown Chattanooga close. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Timber Ridge Resort

Timber Ridge Resort in Traverse City, Michigan, offers RV sites, cabins, cottages, and yurts in Grand Traverse County's cherry orchard and vineyard countryside along the Lake Michigan shore — a four-accommodation-format resort in the heart of one of the Midwest's most desirable travel destinations, where the cold-water bay scenery, the nationally recognized wine and culinary industry, the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, and Traverse City's genuinely excellent arts and dining culture combine to make this stretch of northwestern Lower Michigan one of the most broadly appealing regional destinations in the Great Lakes. The resort's accommodation range from full-hookup RV sites to basic and deluxe cabin configurations to yurts gives it the flexibility to serve the full spectrum of Traverse City-area visitors. Full hookups for RV travelers and a range of cabin, cottage, and yurt options give Timber Ridge Resort the accommodation diversity to serve groups of different sizes, equipment situations, and comfort preferences across the cherry blossom, summer, fall color, and ice wine seasons that define Traverse City's four-season appeal. The resort's Traverse City location gives guests the immediate access to the town's downtown breweries, restaurants, galleries, and farmers markets that makes TC one of the few small Michigan cities consistently drawing visitors from Chicago, Detroit, and Columbus specifically for its locally produced food and drink culture. Pets are welcome. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, 22 miles west of Traverse City, is a National Park Service unit protecting 71,000 acres of Lake Michigan shoreline, perched dunes up to 400 feet above the lake surface, hardwood forest, and the offshore Manitou Islands — one of the most scenically varied National Lakeshore units on the Great Lakes and the site of the Dune Climb, where visitors ascend 130 feet of loose sand for a Lake Michigan viewshed that ABC's Good Morning America viewers voted "the Most Beautiful Place in America" in 2011. The North and South Manitou Islands, accessible by ferry from Leland, provide backcountry island hiking and camping in a Great Lakes wilderness setting. The Old Mission Peninsula and Leelanau Peninsula wine regions surrounding Traverse City have emerged as nationally significant producers of Riesling, Pinot Grigio, and cool-climate white varieties in a viticultural region whose 45th parallel latitude and Lake Michigan microclimate create growing conditions directly analogous to Alsace and the Mosel — a comparison that serious wine consumers have validated through consistent critical recognition since the 1990s. The peninsula tasting room circuit, accessible by bicycle from downtown Traverse City, gives guests the wine tourism experience integrated into the cherry orchard and Bay scenery landscape rather than separated into a discrete industrial wine district. Timber Ridge Resort operates from spring through fall in northern Michigan's Great Lakes climate, with the National Cherry Festival in early July representing Traverse City's highest-demand tourism week and the August color transition beginning the fall foliage season that peaks through October in the maple and beech hardwood forests of the Sleeping Bear and Leelanau country. Ice wine production from frozen Riesling grapes in January and February gives wine enthusiasts a winter-season reason to visit that the summer tourism economy obscures. Reserve accommodations months ahead for the Cherry Festival and peak August weekends, when Traverse City accommodation across all categories fills from the Midwest's established Traverse City visitor market.

White Pines Campsites

143 RV Sites, 3 Cabins, 11 Tent Sites, 1 Yurt

White Pines Campsites in Barkhamsted, Connecticut, offers 143 RV sites, three cabins, 11 tent sites, and a yurt in Litchfield County's northwest hill country, with 20, 30, and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 44 feet. Deluxe and standard categories join an outdoor pool, beach, recreation center, craft room, and arcade. One hundred forty-three sites run in standard and deluxe categories, carrying water and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 44 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two things to plan around: sites carry water and electric but not sewer, so manage tank capacity and use the dump station, and the 44-foot cap rules out larger rigs. RVs are also required to be in good condition, generally within a 10-year model range, so clear older coaches with the park first. Three cabins, 11 tent sites, and a yurt round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with a pond supporting boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and swimming. A recreation center, craft room, arcade, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, gaga ball, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, pavilion, dog park, and snack bar fill the rest, with live music and picnicking through the season. The American Legion and Peoples State Forests surround the property, with Lake McDonough, the Saville Dam, and the Farmington River close. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Outdoorsy Yosemite

141 RV Sites, 4 Cabins, 10 Tent Sites, 6 Glamping Sites

Outdoorsy Yosemite in Bass Lake, California, offers 141 full-hookup RV sites, four cabins, 10 tent sites, and six glamping sites in the Sierra foothills, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 40 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, open all year. Superior back-in, premium pull-through, and standard back-in categories join a pool, clubhouse, boat and kayak rentals, and lake access. One hundred forty-one sites run in standard back-in, superior back-in, and premium pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV, sized to 40 feet, with picnic tables. Note the 40-foot cap before booking a larger rig. Four cabins, 10 tent sites, and six glamping sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, and RV storage handle the practical side. Reservation holders must be at least 18, and guests of all ages are welcome. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with boat rentals, kayak rentals, and bike rentals opening the lake for boating, paddle boats, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. A clubhouse, game room, billiards, ping pong, basketball, horseshoes, sports courts, walking trails, hiking, mountain biking, a playground, community fire pit, dog park, and on-site dining fill the rest, with strong stargazing and birding. Eighteen miles from Yosemite's South Entrance with Bass Lake's warm water immediately adjacent, this works as both a park basecamp and a lake destination. Summer fills both Yosemite and Bass Lake. Reserve well ahead.

Bay Point Landing

118 RV Sites, 14 Airstreams

Bay Point Landing in Coos Bay, Oregon, offers 118 full-hookup RV sites and 14 Airstreams on over a mile of bayfront beach, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 75 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Partial waterview and Timberview categories join a motorhome-only pull-in tier, with a pool, fitness center, clubhouse, and beach. One hundred eighteen sites span partial waterview back-in, partial waterview pull-in for motorhomes only, partial waterview pull-thru, Timberview back-in, and Timberview pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 75 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Naming categories by outlook — bay or timber — makes the choice plain, and the motorhome-only pull-in tier is a thoughtful distinction. Fourteen Airstreams round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the property, with a fitness center, clubhouse, recreation center, bocce ball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, a playground, community fire pit, and dog park filling the grounds. A mile of bayfront beach runs the property's edge, with swimming and planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Coos Bay is one of the Oregon Coast's most productive and least visited estuaries, with the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area — the largest expanse of coastal sand dunes in North America — just up the shore. Summer is peak on the Oregon Coast. Reserve well ahead for July through September.

Redwood Meadows RV Resort

35 RV Sites, 4 Tent Sites

Redwood Meadows RV Resort in Crescent City, CA, offers 35 full-hookup RV sites and 4 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 76 feet. Sites come in six categories — back-in 30-amp, back-in 50-amp, deluxe back-in 30-amp, deluxe pull-thru 30-amp, deluxe pull-thru 50-amp, and premium — all carrying water, sewer, and electric. At 76 feet the deluxe pull-thrus take long coaches. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, propane fills and exchange, a dump station, and a recreation center cover the essentials. Pets are welcome, with a dog park and a basketball court. The resort's own pitch is about proximity, and it holds up: this is the closest RV park to groceries, shopping, the marina, restaurants, lighthouses, beaches, nature walks, farmers' markets, and the Victorian homes of the area. The resort sits ten minutes east of Crescent City on Highway 199 in Hiouchi, immediately next to Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park — the most intact old-growth redwood grove in the state park system, in a forest that was never logged, on the jade-green Smith River. Rates by site category are on the booking page. Summer in the redwoods books early.

Smiley Creek Lodge

6 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 2 Yurts

Smiley Creek Lodge in Blaine County, Idaho, offers six full-hookup RV sites with 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet, alongside seven cabins and two yurts on the Sawtooth Scenic Byway. A lake, beach, and general store serve guests near Sun Valley and the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. Six back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 50-amp service, sized to 40 feet — note that all sites are 50-amp, and the 40-foot cap suits mid-size rigs rather than the largest coaches. Seven cabins and two yurts round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side. With six RV sites, reserve well ahead. Pets are welcome. A lake and creek run near the property with a beach for swimming, and canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, boating, and fishing all available. Hiking, biking, and stargazing run from the site, with a playground for families and live music through the season. Wine and beer tasting is nearby. The byway position is the advantage. This is one of the most scenically extraordinary mountain routes in the American West, where the Wood River Valley's cottonwood corridors open into the granite peaks and alpine lakes of the Sawtooths. The lodge gives the most direct access to the Sawtooth Wilderness trail network and the Stanley Basin's fly fishing on the upper Salmon. Directions: from the north, drive 22 miles south from Stanley on Highway 75; from the south, 37 miles north from Ketchum. Summer is the season at this elevation. Reserve well ahead.

from $100/night

Tillamook Bay City RV Park

22 RV Sites, 10 Yurts

Tillamook Bay City RV Park on the northern Oregon Coast offers 25 RV sites and 10 yurts, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Four site categories cover 20-amp, 30-amp, and 30/50-amp back-ins plus 30/50-amp pull-throughs, with the yurts giving this Good Sam-certified park an unusual lodging option. Twenty-five sites run in 20-amp back-ins, 30-amp back-ins, 30/50-amp back-ins, and 30/50-amp pull-throughs, carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Ten yurts serve guests without a rig — a practical choice on a coast where weather can turn. Laundry, a dump station, restrooms, showers, and a community fire pit handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout. Good Sam certification provides the facility-quality assurance that travelers look for on an unfamiliar stretch of coast. On-site facilities are practical rather than programmed, and the front desk keeps local recommendations on hand — worth asking when you check in. The Fish Peddler on Hayes Oyster Drive is among the nearby options. Pets are welcome. Tillamook County's bay-and-forest landscape is the reason to come. The Tillamook headlands, the Three Capes Scenic Route, and the bay's clamming and crabbing are all close, and the coastline runs from the Nestucca River mouth south toward Neskowin and north toward Cannon Beach — fog-wrapped headlands, secluded state park beaches, dairy farms, and old-growth coastal forest alternating across the highway miles. Summer is peak on the Oregon Coast. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Camp Leconte Luxury Outdoor Resort

18 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites, 7 Glamping Sites, 2 Treehouses, 3 Vintage RV Rentals

Camp LeConte Luxury Outdoor Resort in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, offers 21 RV sites, two treehouses, seven glamping sites, and five tent sites four miles from downtown, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 42 feet.

Note the 42-foot cap before booking a larger rig. The lodging is the distinguishing feature: two treehouses, seven glamping units including European safari tents, and the three named retro campers give guests genuinely unusual options in a corridor where most properties offer standard cabins. An outdoor pool and hot tub anchor the warm months, with a playground, pavilion, and ping pong on the grounds. The mountain setting and creek nearby round it out, with birding productive across the property. Pets are welcome. Gatlinburg's downtown Parkway is four miles away, with Great Smoky Mountains National Park access adjacent and the full Smoky Mountain entertainment and dining infrastructure within minutes. An amusement park and wine tasting are nearby. The resort has run since 2013 as a family-owned boutique property. Summer and October foliage drive the heaviest demand in one of the most visited tourist corridors in the country — reserve well ahead for both.
