The Best RV Travel Destinations in Arizona
The Grand Canyon State has so much to offer visitors. Its natural monuments, scenic deserts, historic sites, and thriving cities lend to its appeal. The warm and arid climate is a big draw for travelers who are sick of the rain, snow, and cold of northern states and long for a dose of sunshine, too. All these reasons are why it makes perfect sense for RVers to head to the Southwest for some camping and relaxation.
We’ve rounded up the best RV destinations in Arizona to help you plot your itinerary, so read on to learn more!
Grand Canyon National Park
Located in northern Arizona and spanning 277 miles of the Colorado River, the Grand Canyon is one of the world’s most famous natural monuments. The South Rim is open all year long, while the North Rim is closed seasonally due to snow. You’ll find dozens of natural viewpoints along the canyon for photo opportunities and plenty of hiking routes.
Petrified Forest National Park
This stretch of the scenic Painted Desert offers visitors the chance to view a stark landscape like no other, with the brightly-colored petrified logs scattered over the colorful desert floor. A 28-mile road provides a route through the park.
The OK RV Park in nearby Holbrook, AZ, has sites for big and small campers alike with full hookups and is easily accessed off Historic Route 66.
Kartchner Caverns State Park
Nestled in southeastern Arizona is a cave system beneath the Whetstone Mountains which visitors can hike through to view Arizona from underground. Impressive stalactites and large caverns such as the Throne Room leave a mark on visitors who see these wonders beneath the earth.
Stay at the convenient on-site campgrounds with 12 pull-through sites and 43 sites for small RVs. You’ll have easy access to the caves for all your subterranean adventuring!
Historic Route 66
Spanning 400 miles across northern Arizona, this highway used to connect Chicago, IL, to the West Coast before the current Interstate system was laid in place. Arizona has some of the most beautiful and scenic stretches of the old road with plenty of small towns and campgrounds scattered along its length. You’ll be able to take detours to Flagstaff, the Grand Canyon, and the Petrified Forest from this famous highway.
