RVing is nothing if not kid-friendly. Think of all the “extras” sported by recreation vehicles. Comfortable beds. Showers. Your children’s favorite toys, snacks, games, books and videos – all within an arm's reach. A clean bathroom that’s always nearby. And because of these comforts, there are certain things you'll be able to do without: the sound of “Are we there yet?” for instance.

And that’s all before the motor even stops. The nation's 16,000 campgrounds catering to RV travelers feel like small, friendly towns. Your children will find plenty of other children eager to make friends. And in a safe environment, they’ll find amenities and activities galore:

RVing can bring your family together by taking them far away. And whether your passion is camping, mountain biking, or touring some of history’s great landmarks, RVing is a wonderfully fun, surprisingly affordable way to get there more often.

According to a recent RVIA survey, one of the activities that children enjoy most while on an RV vacation is gathering with their families around a campfire – whether it’s to make s’mores, roast marshmallows or tell stories. Survey results also suggest that children who take RV trips with their families plan to continue the tradition of RV travel when they get older. In fact, nearly 100% of the kids who responded to the survey intend to go RVing with their own children when they become adults.
