2025 RV Travel: What To Do, Where To Go, And How To Plan
Spring is in the air and it’s a great time to think about your 2025 travels: what you’re going to do, where you’re going to go, and how you’re going to plan. With some insider info, you might have an easier time getting your travel season in order. Last fall, more than 2,000 people participated in Harvest Hosts and Progressive’s travel survey and there are some surprising results that can help inform your summer 2025 travel plans.
What to Do
RVing allows you to immerse yourself in new experiences and experience the great outdoors. Outdoor activities seem to be a priority to RVers, with 85% of survey respondents saying outdoor activities are an important factor when selecting a travel destination.
Agritourism is a great way to combine travel and the outdoors. Agritourism is the combination of agriculture and tourism, where locations like vineyards, orchards, and alpaca or goat farms offer educational, gratifying, and entertaining experiences. And staying at a farm offering these experiences is even better!
Where to Go
Whether you’re headed to the mountains, beaches, National Parks, or historical landmarks, there’s no bad destination if you’re having fun with family, friends, or a furry companion.
Summer is called travel season for a reason, and the top spots are always harder to book. Our research suggests that most RVers plan their trips 1-2 months in advance, so if you can book your trip further in advance, you can beat the crowds.
What’s on Your Bucket List?
Some of the most popular bucket list destinations for RVers are Alaska, Canada, New England, Florida, and Yellowstone National Park.
But the number one choice for travel this year? The Northeast! 1 in 4 RVers responded they want to head to travel to the Northeast the most this year. Locations like the Finger Lakes in New York, Acadia National Park in Maine, or Cape Cod Massachusetts are popular destinations year-round, but you may see even more traffic there this coming summer.
Planning
Picking the destination and what you want to do, will help with the planning process. According to the survey respondents, finding campgrounds or the lack thereof is one of the biggest frustrations when it comes to RV travel.
