Round the family up and get ready for one of the four best RV trips for families in the United States. Our tourism experts at Mark Wahlberg RV have put this guide together to help you create the perfect itinerary for your next family vacay. Get started below!

Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Where to Park the RV: Honeysuckle Meadows RV Park

Home to the most visited national park in the nation, Gatlinburg, Tennessee, is a hotspot for hikers. With 150 hiking trails ranging the difficulty scale, your family will have a blast exploring the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, whether you have infants or a rowdy group of teens.

When you aren’t galivanting around the woods, be sure to check out the many other activities in downtown Gatlinburg like the Gatlinburg SkyLift, The Village Shoppes, and the Ole Smoky Distillery. You can also take a short drive over to Pigeon Forge where you’ll find all kinds of theme park attractions.

Orlando, Florida

Where to Park the RV: Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort

Every child dreams of going to Disney World, but not many parents associate this highly sought-after family destination with RVing. Take your pick of RV parks in the area and enjoy an array of the world’s best theme parks. Buy a park hopper pass and enjoy:

  • Epcot.
  • Magic Kingdom Park.
  • Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
  • Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park.
  • And so many more!

There’s so much more to this Floridian city than Disney theme parks, though. Take the kids for an aquatic adventure with Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures or visit Gatorland where you can (safely) get up close and personal with Floridian wildlife.

Washington, D.C.

Where to Park the RV: Fort Belvoir Travel Camp

Ready to see wonder in your little one’s eyes? Get your fix in Washington, D.C., home of more than 70 world-class museums. The kids will be having so much fun at these incredible institutions that they won’t even realize they’re learning:

  • Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum
  • United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
  • National Gallery of Art & National Portrait Gallery
  • Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History

This is just the tip of the iceberg of what this vibrant city has to offer. Stroll more than 160 acres of zoological wonder at the National Zoo & Conservation Biology Institute. Explore the many historical monuments like the National Mall and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial.

Yellowstone National Park

Where to Park the RV: Grant Village Campground

Yellowstone National Park is a national and worldwide treasure as the first national park and the protected lands that inspired conservation across the globe. A trip to Yellowstone ensures close calls with some of North America’s coolest creatures, a front-row seat to Old Faithful’s eruption every 92 minutes, and supreme solitude.

Whether you’re setting out for a weekend or a month, the two million acres making up Yellowstone offer plenty to do, including:

  • Hiking more than 1,000 miles of back-country opportunities.
  • Taking in Grand Prismatic Spring, one of the largest natural hot springs on Earth.
  • Gazing upon Upper Geyser Basin where you’ll find more than half of the world’s geysers.
  • Learning about the park’s flora and fauna at the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center.
  • Kayaking, canoeing, and/or fishing on one of the many miles of lakes within the park.
