The top 5 best beaches for RV travel in the US

1. Assateague Island State Park

Natural wonders converge in Maryland’s sole oceanfront campground. Assateague Island State Park is a popular destination due not only to its gorgeous ocean views but to the herds of wild horses that roam freely along the island’s sandy beaches. Grazing on grasses that grow amidst the sand dunes, these formidable creatures are frequently admired by tourists. This RV-friendly park has plenty of opportunities for you to become acquainted with local wildlife, as visitors can join in on “wildlife tours” to view horses and various bird species.

One location available for RV camping is Assateague State Park Campground, which features over 300 campsites. Each has its own picnic table and firepit, and restrooms with showers are also accessible to campers. 

2. Flagler Beach

Though Florida has no shortage of glorious beaches, Flagler is a cut above the rest because of its location. Less than an hour drive from St. Augustine, camping at Flagler Beach provides easy access to the rich history of America’s oldest city. Visitors can also stop by the Flagler Beach Historical Museum, where they’ll learn about the city’s encounters with sea animals, shipwrecks, and natural disasters.

Beverly Beach Camptown RV Resort is located conveniently in Flagler, and its restrooms and convenience store make it ideal for RV travel. Coffee and other refreshments are provided on the premises, so you can enjoy a cup of coffee while you look out at the stunning ocean view. Full-hookups are available on every RV site. Treasure-By-The-Sea, another full-hookup RV campsite, is also located nearby. 

3. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

For those who value variety, Myrtle Beach might be the best spot for an RV camping trip. Located on South Carolina’s Atlantic Coast, the atmosphere is as fun as it is eclectic. This area offers a little something to everyone, with activities like aquariums, museums, and Ferris wheels bringing joy to tourists all year round. Taking your RV to Myrtle Beach will mean unfettered access to the ocean as well as to Governor’s Lighthouse and the various shops and restaurants present on the beach.

Myrtle Beach State Park has restrooms, laundry facilities, and a dump station available to guests using their campgrounds. If this campground doesn’t fit your tastes, don’t worry! Myrtle Beach has plenty of RV campgrounds ranging in size, location, and level of accommodation.

4. Olympic National Park Beaches in Washington

If you’re looking for serenity, the beaches of Olympic National Park might be the place for you. Campsites in the area are typically less noisy and crowded, allowing for a true escape from the hectic schedules in our daily lives.

Situated on a bluff, South Beach Campground offers an incredible view of the water, and the smaller number of campsites creates a more peaceful ambiance. This campground is usually open through the summer, and visitors enjoy water-based activities like surfing, swimming, and kayaking. This location is best suited for those who want to immerse themselves in nature and take time to appreciate the gorgeous views in a quiet place. Though some sites can accommodate RVs up to thirty-five feet, on many sites they should not exceed twenty-one feet. In this case, a smaller model might be the best fit.

Log Cabin RV and Campground located nearby has electricity, restrooms, laundry facilities.
