Summer is coming faster than many of us realize. Tomorrow is Memorial Day, it is traditionally the start of the summer vacation season.

Do It Yourself RV has five ideas on where to go.

While we realize it is necessary to keep everyone as safe as possible, quarantine is hard on us wanderers. We itch to get our RVs back on the road and start exploring once again, and look forward with anticipation to the day when we can do so safely. 

For some, that day is still a little bit away. In the meantime, it helps to daydream and make plans about what we might explore once travel is an option again. Of course, we are well aware that some activities still won’t be available to us in the early days of returning to the road. It’s important to make plans carefully and consider which activities would be safest and most likely to be open.

Campground Reviews has compiled the best up-to-date campground information for RVers looking to travel this summer. They have updated the status of thousands of campgrounds across the country and are continuing to update their tools as new information comes in. Check the website for campground reviews, park information, as well as their current open or closed status. They have also implemented this essential information into the comprehensive trip planner, RV Trip Wizard, as well as on the RV LIFE App With GPS.
