The Best Places in the US to RV in 2024

[@raykimsey1801]

Summer 1962 we were heading to Seattle and passing through SD. Sign after sign told us about Wall Drug. After the first 30 or so signs, my parents said there is no way we are stopping. After another 150 or so signs we stopped. I still remember that as a seven year-old kid.

[@jasonlarsen3515]

That’s why I stopped. I felt I had no choice.

[@bobconner422]

Went there boondocking at the wall at 104deg wall drug has AC 😂😅😂

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That is exactly right, how can you not stop.

[@raykimsey1801]

@@bobconner422 We were boondocking at the wall back in June. It is a great location.

[@AlexanderMcClymont]

I just graduated high school and I got hired to work a summer job at Glacier NP! Visiting places like this for a day or two is awesome enough, but living there for five months will be incredible!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That is awesome!

[@billysprague6219]

I agree with you about Tetons. As nice as Yellowstone and horribly underrated.

[@951WoodworkDesigns-bx4kn]

I’ve lived in California my entire life, and I’ve driven up highway 1 a few times, I’ve never been to Sequoia or Yosemite. I know! I’ve driven up/down highway 1 a few times and never stopped in the various places everyone should stop. Our trips have been to Cambria on our way to Paseo Robles for wine guzzling, or to go to/from San Francisco or Oregon. I retired fairly young 8 years ago, and my wife has finally agreed to retire in two weeks. We’re thinking about buying an RV to travel the country part time, so hopefully we’ll finally see our backyard. I had a Class A for several years, but only camped locally. How stupid is that? My wife doesn’t enjoy traveling as much as I do as I’ll stop at every historical site along our route which drives her nuts. I guess seeing every stagecoach route and waypoint isn’t exactly exciting to her. Hopefully in retirement we’ll finally see not only our state, but the entire nation, as much as possible anyway. I’d love to travel full time, but my wife thinks she needs to stay near the kids and grandkids even though we only see them a half dozen times a year. That’s what FaceTime is for!

[@slamboy66]

Nathan, Would love an episode of all the different solar, batt and inverter setups you've had in rigs. What you love/hate cost for power? you get it.👍👍👍

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks for the idea!

[@TravelingonAdventures]

The Wall is still our favorite camping spot and we are still partial to Theodore Roosevelt National Park/Medora area.

[@cchambersglenn]

We are going to the Black Hills in May!

[@Liendoelcm]

We lived in Alberta Canada and one year decided to head for Highway 1 in Oregon and follow it south down to California and the Red Woods. Fat chance! We got as the Oregon coast and it's State camps and began to relax and slow down, coming to a dead stop about 2/3 of the way down in Oregon. The scenery, weather, food and campgrounds were just so good we left California and the Redwoods for another trip. Well done Oregon!

[@bigfamilyexpedition]

Badlands, Custer State Park, and Nomad View are definitely epic!!! We were so blown away by South Dakota! Some of the other National Parks you mentioned are on our list this year! Can't wait! ❤

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Totally agree!

[@joellenowerko3429]

Yep Wall drug got us also and by the way Hensley is such an articulate young lady😊

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you so much 😀

[@ellenwelch8267]

LOVE how much the kids chimed in on this episode!! ♥️. And could Hensley be twining with Nathan any MORE lately!?!?? Wow, she has always favored him but wow! Thanks for the journey this week… see y’all next week 👋🏻

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you.

Nice coverage of these areas. Thank you.

We can't wait!!! We are going from Orange, CA to Idaho RV dunes for some sand dunes then The Grand Tetons NP for a couple days then Yellowstone NP for 4 days, travel upto Kalispell Mt to stay with brother and will be visiting Glacier NP. I don't know how long is enough for Glacier. After all that we head back home. 😊

[@johnnylightning1491]

I can't say I've been to all of those locations especially the one's out west, but they are on the list. As for Florida. I like it in the winter, summer not so much, it's way too hot and humid and I've lived there a couple of summers. Keep the good stuff coming guys and give the kids a hug for me.

[@annamaybeekman5152]

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@kimbird7606]

Everyone raves about the Mighty Five in Utah. However, you're missing some of the most beautiful places in Utah if you just stick to those five places. You might want to try some of the sites in Eastern Utah such as the San Rafael Swell with the wedge (is Utah's version of the Grand Canyon), Nine Mile Canyon (the largest Indian art gallery in the US) and one of the best dinosaur museums in the world is located in Price, Utah. If you enjoyed Jurassic Park you will love the USU Prehistoric Museum and it's Utah Raptor and many other dinosaurs found right here in Utah. Along with a Mammoth last was excavated about 20 years ago. Give more of Utah a try!!! There's also Goblin Valley and Little Wild Horse Canyon both with some fabulous hikes.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Great tips thanks!

[@waynehogue2499]

Great recap! We have been to a lot of them excluding the west coast. The Tetons were epic. For some reason I have no desire to visit California!

All beautiful places. But, I agree...TN is number 1. Blessings

[@timmie1943]

I liked all the spots you listed but I would really like you to come to The New River National Park and Preserve. West Virginia is a fun place to go to. We have lakes to swim in or boat, we have rock climbing, we have epic hiking ( you can see so many old coal ghost towns). I would love to see you all come here, it's almost heaven.

We did the Black Hills and Yellowstone in the summer of 22. We did the nomad view at Badlands also! We’re doing our bucket list trip Florida to Alaska and back this summer. We’ve also done the Mighty 5 and did the PCH Hwy from L.A. to Seattle. Being native Floridians we do the Florida Keys every summer for fishing and lobsters. Y’all need to come back to Florida in July for Scalloping on the Gulf Coast!

[@nathaliacarrera7848]

Been living vicariously through you guys since 2020. I absolutely love how you incorporated the kiddos candid perspectives in this 🥰. We just took our first RV trip (rented an RV) in December and guess where we went?! FLORIDA! We have an 11 yo girl and a 3 yo boy and your kiddos remind me of them so much.

Great video of your choices of places to travel and stay at. I loved Mount Zion myself. My family and I have been there at least 4 times. It’s a nice drive from Vegas. I have been to the Redwood Forrest before. That’s a beautiful park to go to. I would love to go sometime and travel the whole United States. Not sure when but I will get there one of these days. lol! I’m so glad you all got to travel to these places. It makes beautiful memories for you and your family. Thank you for this video. Have a great week and safe travels and see you soon!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

You are so welcome.

[@rdrose61]

Thanks... Did #1 our first year (stayed some at Nomad View). Perfect start. #2 is next year. #3 was our second year, awsome. #4 we have done the southern half and are returning for the northern as well as Oregon and Washington coasts. #5 is this year, June through October. #6 we have done many times except for the Keys which we are just not lucky enough to get the reservations yet. All of these, completed and planned, we do in big loops to experience everything near and on the route. Have a great 2024...

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you so much.

Highway 1 had massive damage last year due to storms and landslides and current is closed near Limekilt State park. Projected to be reopened late spring 2024. You still can enjoy parts of it, but not drive through.

If we decided to take a trip through Florida during the winter , would we need to make reservations in the camp grounds or can you find places with hookups easily?

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It seems to vary - you're always best to reserve ahead (big difference of out west camping vs florida camping in the winter) But many campgrounds reserve some last minute spots too.

What do you guys consider a larger rv for national park. We have a 30 ft camper and sometime have difficulty getting into some area we would like to be in

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It is very dependant on the situation. In the case of National Parks often 30 feet is the biggest they can accommodate. If you can get down to 24 feet you should have better success.

[@MrOppie93]

@@LessJunkMoreJourney that has been our experience. Our camper is 30 ft from bumper to hit hitch and it seems no one measure the same. We try and call and ask due to use being so close to that length of 30 ft .

"Does he think he's camping in a van"? How much better do you think you are to make that statement? Sorry that come across to me like you are better than the man in the van. I'm not hating and have followed you guys for years but that was very rude.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Respectfully, we think you are missing the point. We certainly don't feel like we are better than any other RVers. We have loved camping in vans. After we had driven for hours and not able to find a parking spot in rest areas we were commenting that he was taking up a parking spot set aside for large RVs but was in a vehicle that easily fit in a regular parking spot. Have a great day.
