You can enjoy a staycation pretty much anywhere close to home. A few ideas:
- A friend’s or family property
- A local campground, RV resort or recreation site
- Fairgrounds during events
- Local provincial or national parks
- Your own driveway
The beauty of staying close is that you can choose the best of what your family already knows they enjoy. And if you're close enough to home, you can easily run home if/when you forget something.
Start by getting everyone involved and pick out local activities you’ve been meaning to try — museums, parks, quirky attractions, whatever sounds fun. Be a tourist in your own town. We often overlook attractions and activities close to home because they're always 'right there'. Some places like farms, wineries, and museums even allow RV parking. If you want more options, check out clubs like Harvest Hosts or Boondockers Welcome.
Check reviews to see what other campers say about your potential staycation spots. You’ll get the scoop on amenities, pet policies, and overall vibes so you can make a decision with confidence. Web sites like Trip Advisor will not only give you ratings and reviews on locations but also provide information on nearby activities and attractions.
Stock up on food and bevies before you “leave” so you’re not running to typically higher priced convenience stores during your staycation. Sure, pack healthy foods, but don't forget the good stuff!
Your RV staycation might be exactly the break you’ve been craving — low‑stress, low‑cost, and full of good times. When you’re back, we’d love to hear how it went and what tips you picked up along the way. Your story might just inspire someone else to try a close‑to‑home adventure of their own.
