The Benefits Of Spring RV Travel

Spring is a great time to visit an RV campground. After the winter months fade, flowers begin blooming and wildlife becomes more active. Enjoy beautiful nature views and maybe even some animals in their natural habitat.

Campgrounds are usually less packed than in the summer, which gives you better odds of getting a reservation. You can also enjoy the benefits of fewer people, from a more quiet campground experience to less time spent in lines.

The Unique Challenges Of Spring RV Travel

There are some common issues that can creep up during spring RV travel. With a little planning, you can ensure they won't bother your family.

Trails Can Be Altered

Trails can be changed during the winter months, from snow causing erosion to dead trees falling onto the path. As a result, there may be parts of the trail that are re-routed or closed for part of the spring. Even if you've visited the trail before, be sure to check the most updated information.

Pollen Can Be Rampant

Pollen is common during the summer, but it can creep up during the spring too. If you or any of your fellow campers suffer from allergies, pack some allergy medication just in case.

Mosquitoes Can Be Out And About

Mosquitoes can take the fun out of spending time in nature. All it takes is a few bites and you can feel uncomfortable for a few days. Pack insect repellent to keep them away. It'll make hiking, eating outside, and other nature-based activities more enjoyable.

It's also wise to bring along anti-itch cream...just in case someone still gets bitten.

Rain Can Appear

Many spring days are full of blue skies and sunshine. But there can be the occasional downpour, so it's good to be prepared. Pack along umbrellas, waterproof outerwear, and waterproof shoes. That way, you can still enjoy the outdoors even if it rains.

  • Mountain biking
