Hit the Road, Jack!

After the global coronavirus pandemic, we had to rethink family vacations. No one wanted to sit for hours in an airplane or jostle their way through an airport. RV camping, long thought to be the purview of retirees, suddenly became THE way to travel. In a recent Tanglewood Moms thread, our members discussed the best places to RV camp, both in campgrounds and boondocking (RV dry camping in remote locations). We gathered their top suggestions and added a few of our own. Please note, with the rise in RV popularity, campgrounds are full, so make sure to make reservations well in advance of your trip!
