Let’s face it: There’s something especially intimate about taking someone on a romantic RV getaway. It shouts, “I want to take you somewhere.” Just you and me together. Whether it’s Valentine’s Day, an anniversary, or simply a just time to shake free from the normally-glorious noise of the kids, romantic RV getaways offer more than just great date ideas. They give you dedicated time away — together.
Now, romantic RV getaways can take many different forms. Almost always, they are shaped by a person’s unique vision. (Or even better, a couple’s.) Sure, you could always just hit the beach, but you have lots of options for romantic RV getaways. Maybe you’ve been dreaming of walking hand-in-hand under lush moss that swings softly from live oaks. Or perhaps it’s time to submerge into natural heat of a stone pool, as water bubbles under a blanket of fog. It could be taking in golden mountains with little white caps as you look across your favorite person in the passenger seat. Whatever your desire, there is a perfect vista for you and your beloved just waiting to be the new beautiful backdrop of a memory together.
So, let’s ruffle through some of the most romantic RV getaways in the country.
Savannah’s Southern Charm
Savannah, Georgia is one big romantic backdrop. Pillows of moss hang from thick ancient cypress trees. Gnarled roots dip into still, reflective waters. Cobblestone pathways meander quietly along the banks of dark water. There is a calm intimacy — and a very Southern, dont-rush-me ambiance — beneath these moss laden trees. Savannah’s Old World charm is rooted in unique and culturally significant history. Like moss on a stone, natural beauty blends with the city’s storied past and creates an atmosphere of enchanting mystique.
Skidaway Island RV Park is just 20 minutes outside of historic Savannah. A luscious immersion in Spanish moss awaits along iconic Georgian waterways. Walk hand-in-hand along six miles of trails in Skidaway Island State Park. Watch the grasslands turn an enchanting golden under the setting sun, and melt into the Skidaway River. Leisurely strolls along the boardwalk will reveal dolphins feeding and frolicking in the channel. If you and your partner can bask in the quiet, rare birds will appear, fluttering in the trees around you.
Sedona’s Striking Desert Beauty
Sedona, Arizona is a place of raw, magnificent beauty. Striking red rocks provide a vibrant backdrop for unforgettable memories. Known as a vortex where metaphysical energies meet, the area has a reputation for transforming people. The scenery is impossible not to fall in love with. It’s the perfect place to rekindle, reimagine, and reinvent your love.
Personally, for me and my husband, Cathedral Trail is our favorite hiking trail — anywhere. It will stop your heart as you hike into a view of impossible beauty. Geological skyscrapers break apart the landscape in a series of red monumental towers. And if you really want to score some points, surprise your loved one with a hot air balloon ride over the desert.
The peaceful setting at Rancho Sedona RV Park is only quarter-mile walk from galleries and restaurants in town. It offers valuable shade next to the beautiful Oak Creek. If adventure and exploration are the needle and thread of your relationship, then you have come to the right place. The greenways, hiking and mountain biking trails accessible from the park will be a playground for your love.
Nature’s Most Natural Spa: Hot Springs
When doesn’t a dip in warm healing water set the mood for a romantic getaway? Many overlook this Southern gem, but Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas offers a wealth of romantic escapes for couples. The bathhouses tunnel deep in American history, originating around thermal waters that steam beneath the city’s streets. In the 1800s, a row of attractive Victorian style bath houses began to entice the American and European elite to the town’s healing waters. The city was a pioneer in America’s spa movement. Today the bathhouses boast a handsome history along with their healing water.
For the closest RV Park to downtown Hot Springs, Finish Line RV Park is walking distance to the infamous Bathhouse Row, where century old bath houses have been designated as a National Historic Landmark District. They boast thermal caves, saunas, marble tubs, hydrotherapy and more. The RV Park is also walking distance to Hot Springs Creek Greenway Trail, with miles of biking and hiking opportunities.
Ouray’s Mountain-Top Moment
My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Ouray, Colorado. Little did we know that our dates coincided perfectly with the golden foliage of the aspen trees. The mountains sides lit up like yellow fire in the foreground of a crisp blue sky. Sometimes referred to as America’s ‘little Switzerland,’ Ouray has some of the most stunning mountain views I have ever seen. And the best part? Hot springs are all around. Ouray has a large hot spring pool inside town, cradled in the bosom of monumental mountain ranges.
Right outside of Ouray, CO, is quite possibly my favorite place in the world: Orvis Hot Springs. After driving across the country on a motorcycle from North Carolina, my husband (boyfriend at the time) and I stumbled upon Orvis by chance. It replenished our exhausted spirits with an evening of quiet nourishment. Orvis can accommodate RVs up to 30 feet, but plan ahead. They are a small establishment with less than 30 sites. You can also rent a room at the lodge, or just spend the day (or evening) with a scrumptious variety of hot spring pools. From a “lobster-pot” boil, to temperate pools swathed in fog, you and your partner can have your pick of water to soak in. Be advised: Designated areas of the hot springs are clothing optional.
Florida’s First Love: St. Augustine
St. Augustine is an attractive blend of captivating history, coastal scenery, and alluring architecture. Nature lovers can connect on pristine nature trails, boardwalks, kayaking, fishing, and bird watching at Anastasia State Park. History lovers can walk along the escalade of Castillo de San Marcos. Explore the architectural marvels under seductive curtains of moss on one of St. Augustine’s ghost tours. There’s so much here to explore. (After all, St. Augustine was founded by the Spanish decades before the English arrived in Jamestown.)
Brynmawr Ocean RV Resort is a rare opportunity to park your RV on the beach, and watch the waves lap against the shore from the window of your rig. Gopher tortoises amble along the sand, munching on pawpaws. Along the beach you can collect seashells at low tide when the sand stretches seamlessly into the horizon.
