Top Summer RV Destinations


Summer is almost here, and now is the time to start preparing for your RV travel experiences. Whether your existing recreational vehicle needs an annual checkup or you are looking to purchase a new or used RV, Nohr’s RV Center can help you put your summer travel plans into practice.


Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park is probably the most popular vacation destination for summer travelers. Geysers which erupt like clockwork, enormous quantities of wildlife and natural formations, and located in a geographic area which is largely immune to summer heatwaves, this park is a must-see for anyone touring the country via recreational vehicle.


Blue Ridge Mountains

The Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains have a lot to offer. Crisp mountain streams, breathtaking vistas, and a plethora of human and geologic activity are only a few of the sights to see. RV camping is available throughout the region, including such iconic places as the southern gateway to the Smokies, Cherokee, NC, and in Tennessee, Pigeon Forge on the northern side, and Gatlinburg’s world-class dining and recreation.


Key West & the Florida Keys

Key West is located approximately 150 miles south of the Florida mainland, at the end of the longest north-south highway in the nation, U.S. Hwy 1. Known as the Overseas Highway, this road connects a multitude of islands and provides amazing views of Florida Bay to the West and the Atlantic Ocean to the East. The Keys are a place for singles, couples or entire families, offering everything from Disney-themed water play to houseboat rentals and cruises aboard 19th-century style sailing vessels.


Fairbanks, Alaska

Summer is the best time to visit our nation’s northernmost state. Experience mind-boggling snow-capped mountains, arctic wildlife such as polar bears and wild moose, or a leisurely stroll through the wilderness. Whether you want to pan for gold or enjoy a cruise on a paddle boat or dine on exquisite native cuisine, Fairbanks has something to thrill the entire family.


Redwood Forests

If you are looking for something a little closer to home, California’s redwood forests are a short drive away. These giant trees only live in a narrow band along the California coast and can be found north of the Bay area in Redwood National Forest, or south of San Francisco in California’s Big Sur, which is also home to nation’s largest permanent colony of elephant seals. You will find ample RV camping in either direction, and both are close enough for weekend excursions.

These are only a few of the treasures our nation has to offer to the RV enthusiast. As you travel to and from the destinations listed here, check your maps often and watch for the many other possible stops along the way. But before you set out on your summer adventures, make a point of getting your RV professionally serviced.
