More and more state parks are catering to the needs of RV travelers. These state park campgrounds in particular offer hookups for your rig, nearby stores and restaurants, and on-site amenities that make RV camping
easy.
Ponderosa State Park
McCall, Idaho
1 of 9
Whether you come in the summer or stay in the winter, you can hop out of your rig and find plenty to do, from cross-country skiing to boating. Golf courses, restaurants and grocery stores are all within 10 miles of the park, so you can get away from the campsite whenever necessary. For RV camping, pull into your trailer-specific spot, with electric and sewage hookups.

The majority of campsites here are designated for campers with a rig, and this campground makes RV camping easy with full-service sites that have access to water, electricity and sewage hookups.

Don't stay at the campsite too long, though. Venture out to see the Garden of the Gods, The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Red Rock Canyon and more. In between day trips, take advantage of amenities like coin-operated laundry and a campground store.

Cherry Creek State Park
Aurora, Colorado

Imagine this: you look out the window of your rig to see rolling hills, with the sun rising over the Rockies. Thanks to electric hookups, you make coffee and some breakfast. You start your day with a late-morning swim in the reservoir, and then hop on your bike for a ride along the Cherry Creek Trail. Your evening ends with a campfire dinner and restful sleep. Now stop dreaming and make your reservation.

Fort Stevens is the largest state campground in Oregon, and a great spot for RV camping on the Pacific Coast. Take some time to relax on the beach or head to the river, where you can fish and come home to make a fresh salmon dinner. Don't forget to stop and see the wreck of the Peter Iredale (pictured above). Reserve one of the full-hookup sites and bring Fido; dogs are welcome here.
