Top 10 Luxury RV Resorts

Top 10 Luxury RV Resorts

There are times when you just want to unplug, head off into the wilderness with your RV and your family and just be away from the world. If you’re boondocking on remote BLM land, you know the amenities are going to be sparse, and that’s OK! With the expectational off grid capabilities of the Bowlus Terra Firma and Endless Highways Edition, we’ve got you covered. But, then there are the other times – those times when you want the luxury camping experience to go beyond the front door of your travel trailer. Sometimes you want all the amenities a luxury RV park can offer, and we’ve got you covered there too. Check out this list of amenity packed RV resorts that we love.

What is a Luxury Camping Experience?
To some, luxury and camping seem like two words that should never be in the same sentence (clearly, they haven’t been in a Bowlus!). But there are a lot of really amazing luxury RV resorts that offer all of the amenities you’d expect to find at a five-star hotel. The only difference is that you bring your own room (and bathroom) with you.

We had a few parameters when we curated this list. First, any luxury RV resort you’ll see here has to accept travel trailers. There are a surprising number of high end RV resorts that only permit Class A and C motorhomes (they’re often called motorcoach resorts). Travel trailers, no matter how nice, need not apply. Since we love travel trailers, this was a no brainer.

We also considered the amenities you’d find at your campsite. Full hook-ups and spacious sites were a given. But we also looked for offerings like a supercharged wi-fi, paved and level campsites, patios with propane grills and gas fire pits, outdoor furniture, and special places for your pup. Though not every resort on the list has all these things, they are among the hallmarks of many.

The amenities of the resort at large were also a factor. Some of these perks vary based on where the resort is located, but here are a few of the things that caught our eye: resort-style swimming pools, workout rooms stocked with the latest fitness equipment, spa services, game rooms, and restaurants.

And speaking of activities, most luxury RV resorts will have a daily roster of fun things to do that are exclusively available to their guests. At minimum, the resorts will be located in areas where there’s plenty to do on your own. And that’s why the types of activities offered by the resort, or that are available nearby, were a consideration. And trust us, we’re talking about things like local winery excursions, not rowdy games of bingo (though if that’s what you’re into, no judgement here).

And without further ado, the list (in no particular order).

1. Moorings Oceanfront RV Resort, Maine
