6 Advantages of RV Travel

Hey RVers. I'm Lisa McEwen. Today we are outside in beautiful southern Georgia. The girls had a long weekend from school, so we decided to pack everyone up and do a long weekend. It's actually one of the advantages that we see to RV travel. It's our ability to take the kids out for a long weekend and go someplace close. There are actually a lot of RV benefits though. Let's take a look at some of them. RVing is affordable. When you travel in an RV, you don't pay for hotels or airfare. Yes, you pay for gas and campground fees, but it's a fraction of the cost. The campground we're staying at in Georgia, Stephen C. Foster State Park is $36 a night. That's a lot cheaper than a hotel stay, and we live just a few hours from here, so our gas is reasonable too. You see unique sights when you RV. While staying at this campground in Georgia, we were able to take a boat tour of the Okefenokee Swamp. How cool is that? That's not a sight you'll find on a list of sights to see. That's something you stumble upon. We've seen so many cool things we either drove by or had access to right at our campground. You can bring what you want. Traveling in an RV lets you bring what you wanna bring. Now, yes, RVs are limited on space, but if you wanna bring your favorite fuzzy blanket, a particular pillow, an omelet pan, and all the sweet treats you can think of, you can. Our kids get to bring some of their favorite toys and their scooters and bikes, and if we were flying, none of that would be possible. You get to enjoy nature. Another advantage to RV travel is that you get a chance to be in nature. This campground, for example, is a quiet outdoor oasis. The sites are spaced well apart, and you can wander around in a quiet, lush forest and forget the hustle and bustle of work and traffic jams that are your norm. You can encourage your kids to try new things. One of the greatest perks about RVing is that we get to encourage our kids to see new things, meet new people, and try things they might not have if we were home. We also like to encourage their sense of curiosity, too. It's always great to see what they wanna learn more about. You spend time together. When we take a trip, we spend time together as a family. We take time to do all the fun adventures and simple activities like making s'mores around a campfire. We're not worried about work or school or running to a sporting event. We're all here. We're all present. There are a lot of advantages to RV travel. Frankly, when we started RVing three or four years ago, we had no idea whether or not we were actually going to like it. But now we are hooked and with every trip we take, we find more advantages to it. Until next time.
