1. Tybee Island, Georgia
Our first stop is in the south. If you’re looking for one last warm beach adventure, then Tybee Island, Georgia, is exactly what you’re searching for. We recommend River’s End Campgroundfor your charming southern destination, especially if you’ll be bringing children. They have over 45 full hookup sites, primitive and upgraded camping sites, and also pet-friendly cabins. They offer weekly events to keep the spirit of summer vacation going with movie nights, ice cream socials, kayak races, and even a Pirate Fest and a Festival of the Arts in October.

This area is sure to offer something for everyone and allows for a budget-friendly late summer adventure.
2. Flagstaff, Arizona
If you’re craving some cooler weather, then let’s head over to Flagstaff, Arizona. Mother Road Brewing Co is a necessary stop for anyone seeking a more polished trip to ease into fall. This exclusive Harvest Host location offers one reservable spot for a smaller van or RV under 29 feet, and provides potable water, wifi, and craft beers, of course. This fun brewery is nestled in the Coconino National Forest and only an hour and a half from the Grand Canyon. Don’t feel like driving?
