Travelling is one of the things we humans love to do most: discovering new places, immersing ourselves in other cultures, trying new foods… and the peace of knowing you have nothing else to do at that moment but be there. In recent years, and given the rising prices across virtually all segments of the population, a specific type of travel has become increasingly popular: motorhomes. Travelling by motorhome isn’t just a way of getting around; it’s a whole lifestyle, an invitation to adventure without ties. Waking up every day in a different place, views that change from endless deserts to lush forests, or beaches where the sound of the waves is your alarm clock… It’s practically magic.
What is travel on wheels?
Motorhomes offer a freedom that no other type of travel can match: no rush, no fixed schedules, and the ability to improvise on the fly, while also connecting fully with the surrounding nature. Freedom, flexibility, and convenience, saving on accommodations and having your own rhythm… it’s the perfect way to combine adventure and convenience, with the advantage of always having everything you need with you. For outdoor lovers and explorers at heart, traveling the world on wheels is one of the most enriching experiences there is! And today we’re here to tell you the best place to set your wheels: The Grand Canyon.
The Grand Canyon: the trendy destination
The Grand Canyon isn’t just a landscape; it’s a natural masterpiece sculpted over millions of years. Located in Arizona, USA, this gigantic gorge, nearly 450 kilometres long and over 1,800 meters deep, is one of the planet’s most impressive natural wonders. It’s a place where time seems to stand still, and every corner offers breathtaking views. Imagine doing it in a camper van. If you didn’t know, we’ll tell you, but the Grand Canyon has campsites adapted for RVs, including water, electricity, and sewage connections to make the experience as comfortable as possible.
Best of all, these campgrounds are open every day of the year and are a 15-minute walk from one of the park’s most impressive viewpoints, Mather Point.
RV travel is on the rise.
According to an RVShare report, it’s estimated that 67% of travellers are considering using an RV to visit national parks and scenic areas by 2025. Additionally, 62% of those surveyed are looking for more relaxing trips without strict itineraries, prioritizing exploration at their own pace. The “leisure travel” mentality fits perfectly with RV travel. RVers have the opportunity to wake up to spectacular views, hike trails untethered, and enjoy being in contact with nature. All these reasons (and many more) are what have led more and more people to choose this way of travelling.
Are there any other recommended places?
Of course! Anywhere you can visit with your RV will leave an incredible impression. Other users have also highlighted Acadia National Park in Maine as one of the most unique places to travel with a RV. Will you try it?
Everything seems to point to 2025 being the year of RVs. Who doesn’t want to travel a lot and spend little? Sleep wherever you want, eat whatever you want, and have luxurious views, all at half the price of a five-star hotel!
There are breathtaking views, you can hike, or simply spend the day soaking up the sun on the beach. For us, it’s a unique experience. If you were looking for the perfect excuse to get away… the Grand Canyon is waiting for you, and this is the best year to do it! Let us know what you think about waking up to those stunning views; we loved it!
