America’s most epic places to relax in your RV

RV CAMP PARK rvcamppark@gmail.com

Whiskeytown Lake, California

Let’s cut to the chase: this reservoir, in north California’s Shasta County, isn’t filled with whiskey. You’ll get over the disappointment when you see the clear water and gloriously empty shingle beaches. The water’s chilly but in a way that gets your blood pumping. Park up just for a swim and a picnic, or stay overnight at the on-site RV park. Whiskey not included.

Jumbo Rocks, Joshua Tree, California

Joshua Tree National Park, less than an hour’s drive from Palm Springs, has some of the darkest skies and most bizarre landscapes in the US. From smooth domes and jumbled piles of rocks to the eponymous twisty-turny Joshua trees that stud the desert floor, it feels a lot like a filmset. Jumbo Rocks Campground has 124 much-coveted spots for tents and RVs, and each has plenty of space to absorb the strange surroundings.

Wahweap Marina, Lake Powell, Arizona

Straddling the border between Utah and Arizona, Lake Powell is a freshwater reservoir backed by canyons and colorful striped rock formations. For that sweet spot between location and convenience, Wahweap Marina’s RV site is tough to beat. There are electric hook-up sites, showers and shops, plus restaurants within walking distance. But there’s no compromising on the views which will keep your neck on a constant swivel.
