If you’re rolling with a toy hauler — or shopping for one — you’re not the type to sit still for long. Your rig is built to haul adventure, and nothing gets the blood pumping like dropping that back ramp and letting those ATVs rip. And we’re ready to share eight of the best ATV locations to do just that!

Here’s some good news: There’s a variety of ATV locations here. Whether you’re into dusty desert rides, muddy mountain trails, or just long stretches of dirt begging to be fully sent, the U.S. is packed with off-road hotspots ready to be your basecamp.

Spanning the whole bumpy spread, these are eight of the most legendary ATV locations to park your toy hauler and let the good times roll. (Or bounce.)

 

1. Moab, Utah – Slickrock Mecca

Moab isn’t just for Jeeps. It’s a legendary launchpad for ATV riders who want big views, red rock, and challenging terrain that’ll make your knuckles white. The area around Moab offers everything from family-friendly dirt paths to slick-rock climbs that’ll test your balance and nerve.

The Sand Flats Recreation Area is one of the most popular spots, known for the Fins and Things Trail and the infamous Hell’s Revenge. The city is extremely ATV-friendly, with rental shops, trail maps, and a community that welcomes off-roaders with open arms.

You can stay at Village Camp Moab, which features deluxe RV sites perfect for toy haulers and easy access to trails.

Why We Love It: Ride straight from many campsites to the trailheads — no need to trailer out once you’re parked.

 

2. Hatfield-McCoy Trails, West Virginia – 1,000+ Miles of Grit and Glory

Spread across seven different trail systems, the Hatfield-McCoy Trails offer a massive network of routes. One of the things that’s great is that it’s tailored for dirt-lovers of all skill levels. With more than 1,000 miles to explore, this place is a must-visit location for anyone serious about off-roading.

Most towns in the area are trailhead-friendly. So, it’s not uncommon to see ATVs fueling up at gas stations or parked to grab a burger downtown. The Rockhouse Trail System near Man and Gilbert, WV, is especially popular for its mix of easy cruisers and difficult climbs.

For home base, park yourself at Twin Hollow Campground, where you’ll find full hook-ups, wide sites for your hauler, and immediate trail access.

Why We Love It: You can spend a full week here and still not hit the same trail twice.

 

3. Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area – Pacific Coastal Sand Slingin’ 

Stretching for 40 miles along Oregon’s Pacific shoreline, this massive coastal dune playground is the perfect mix of beach breeze and ATV buzz. The Oregon Dunes offer everything from wide-open sand bowls to steep drop-ins. And you’ll find plenty of terrain where you can let loose.

Several staging areas allow for primitive camping, but if you’re hauling a larger toy hauler, it’s best to set up at a full-service campground like Spinreel Campground, which provides direct dune access.

Why We Love It: Coastal ATV riding is rare — and nothing beats a hot ride with a cool ocean view.

 

4. Imperial Sand Dunes, California – Glamis in All Its Glory

Known simply as Glamis, this is the Holy Grail of sand for serious riders. With dunes that tower over 300 feet tall and cover more than 40 miles of terrain, it’s the ultimate spot for wide-open throttles, steep climbs, and adrenaline-fueled hill jumps.

You’ll be dry camping here. (It’s part of the Bureau of Land Management.) But the experience is unbeatable if you’re geared up for boondocking. Bring plenty of water, gas, and a full charge. (You’ll want to stay as long as possible.)

Check out the Glamis North Hot Springs Resort if you want a soak after a day of sand slingin’.

Why We Love It: It’s one of the most iconic ATV destinations in the U.S. — and you’ll feel like a desert legend the second you drop your ramp.

 

5. Paiute ATV Trail, Utah – Hard to Say, Hard to Master

For riders who like a mix of speed, scenery, and technical challenge, the Paiute Trail system delivers. This 275-mile loop winds through Fishlake National Forest and features everything from alpine meadows to tight switchbacks through pine forest.

The towns of Marysvale and Richfield are perfect basecamps for toy haulers. South Forty RV Park gives you trail access right from the site. (Complete with plenty of space for big rigs and garage units.)

Why We Love It: It’s a rare combo of high-altitude beauty and long-haul riding. Plus, you might just spot moose on the trail.

 

6. Windrock Park, Tennessee – The East’s Off-Road King

Windrock Park is the largest privately owned off-road recreation area in the United States. Spanning over 73,000 acres and featuring 300 miles of trails, the park ranges from easy gravel to challenging rock crawls. It’s a favorite among ATV clubs and event organizers. Additionally, it hosts regular jamborees and rides.

The on-site Windrock Campground is built with off-roaders in mind, offering wide, level sites and quick access to trailheads.

Why We Love It: It’s the only Glamis-sized experience this side (the good side) of the Mississippi.

 

7. Croom Motorcycle Area, Florida – Year-Round Riding in Paradise

About 45 minutes north of Tampa, Croom delivers a sunny outdoor punch. Specifically, we’re talking about 2,600 acres of sand hills, scrambles, and tight wooded trails. It’s perfect for families and beginners, but still fun for experienced riders.

Set up at Buttgenbach Campground, where you’ll find electric and water hookups, showers, and a direct trail connection.

Why We Love It: It’s one of the few places where you can ride year-round. (No snow, no problem.)

 

8. St. Anthony Sand Dunes, Idaho – High Desert Heaven

This high-desert riding oasis offers nearly 11,000 acres of dunes. These vary from playful bowls to steep climbs that rival anything in Glamis. It’s less crowded than some of the better-known spots, making it ideal for those seeking a more unencumbered, wild ride.

Toy hauler drivers should check out Sand Hills Resort, which has pull-through sites and killer views of the dunes.

Why We Love It: It’s Glamis’ underrated cousin—with cool temps and fewer crowds.

 

ATV Locations Worth the Haul

Wherever your toy hauler takes you, the best destinations share one thing in common — open space to ride and a welcoming place to crash. These spots check both boxes and then some. Just don’t forget a GoPro or two. You’ll want to remember these rides.

There’s nothing like the buzz of a summer state fair. The sweet smell of funnel cake in the air, the sound of livestock bleating in the barns, butter sculptures, and big-name country acts — these events are a true slice of Americana. For RVers, summer state fairs are the perfect excuse to get in gear and chase fried food and fun all over the country. (As if we needed an excuse, right?)

From the Midwest’s amber waves of grain to the southern charm of deep-fried everything, we’ve rounded up the best summer state fairs by region — each with RV-friendly options nearby so you can roll in, hook up, and stay awhile.

August 7–17, 2025

They don’t call this one legendary for nothin’. The Iowa State Fair is one of the biggest and best in the country, drawing over a million visitors from the world over, with a mix of agricultural pride, deep-fried innovation (over 25 foods on a stick!), and offbeat attractions like the famed Butter Cow. It’s a cultural institution that inspired the book, musical, and film “State Fair.”

Hit the Trail and Enjoy Summer State Fairs

Whether you’re in it for the tractor pulls or the deep-fried pickles, these summer state fairs are calling your name. Each one offers a taste of its region’s culture — and for road warriors with a good rig and a hunger for hometown fun, there’s no better way to spend a summer. Just remember: book your campsite early, bring stretchy pants, and pace yourself. Fair food waits for no one.

Mount up, freedom ranger! This RV guide’s for you. Nothing screams red, white, and vroom like taking your rig in search of stars, stripes, and all-American stories. So, we’ve mapped out the most patriotic road trips from sea to shining sea. Each is packed with enough historic landmarks, legendary American heroes, and freedom-fueled pit stops to fill up a Liberty Bell-sized itinerary.

Get ready to fill that cooler with apple pie and soda pop — and hit the road like it’s 1776 all over again.

 

Northeast: Boston, Massachusetts to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Route: Boston, MA → Lexington, MA → Hartford, CT → New York, NY → Philadelphia, PA

Total Mileage: About 375 miles

Estimated Trip Time: 6-7 days (at least)

This one’s a greatest-hits tour of the American Revolution. Start in Boston, where the Freedom Trail leads you past Paul Revere’s house, the Old North Church, and Bunker Hill. (Or rather Breed’s Hill for you history buffs.) From there, head south to Lexington and Concord, where the “shot heard ’round the world” kicked off a revolution.

Next stop: Hartford, Connecticut, where the Old State House still stands proudly, once the seat of America’s earliest constitutional government. If you’re brave enough to steer your rig through New York City (looking at you, Class B lovers), swing by for a quick salute at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Then finish strong in Philadelphia — home of the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and the original U.S. Constitution.

Why This Trip Shines: It’s like driving through the table of contents of your high school history book. But instead of it being pop quizzes and dusty pages, it’s one awesome field trip.

 

South: Montgomery, Alabama to Washington, D.C.

Route: Montgomery, AL → Selma, AL → Atlanta, GA → Greensboro, NC → Richmond, VA → Washington, D.C.

Total Mileage: About 875 miles

Estimated Trip Time: 7–9 days, depending on time spent in D.C.

The Deep South’s story is one of struggle, sacrifice, and ultimately, progress. Start in Montgomery, the cradle of the Civil Rights Movement. Visit the Rosa Parks Museum and the Civil Rights Memorial, and walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in nearby Selma.

From there, head northeast to Atlanta, Georgia, where the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park is both humbling and inspiring. Continue to Greensboro, North Carolina, to visit the International Civil Rights Center, then swing through Richmond, Virginia—the former capital of the Confederacy — where history echoes from every cobblestone.

Cap off your trip in the nation’s capital. Washington, D.C. is packed with American pride—from the Lincoln Memorial to the National Archives, where the Declaration of Independence is on full display. Park your RV at Cherry Hill Park in College Park, Maryland, and take the Metro straight into the city.

Why This Trip Shines: It’s a heartfelt drive through America’s hardest chapters — and celebrates the people who helped write better ones.

 

Midwest: Springfield, IL to Kansas City, MO

Route: Springfield, IL → Hannibal, MO → Kansas City, MO

Total Mileage: About 330 miles

Estimated Trip Time: 3–5 days

Head into America’s heartland for a road trip that blends patriotism with literary legend and presidential pride. Kick off your adventure in Springfield, Illinois, the longtime home of Abraham Lincoln. Tour the Lincoln Home National Historic Site, visit the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, and pay respects at his tomb.

Then make your way west to Hannibal, Missouri, where Mark Twain’s boyhood home sits above the Mississippi River. Sure, Twain wasn’t a president, but his writing captured the American spirit like few others. While you’re there, ride the Mark Twain Riverboat or explore the actual, real-life cave that inspired Tom Sawyer.

Wrap up in Kansas City, where you can spend a reflective afternoon at the National WWI Museum and Memorial. It’s one of the most comprehensive tributes to the Great War anywhere in the world, and doesn’t skimp on immersive exhibits.

Why This Trip Shines: It celebrates our literary past and the real-life leaders who shaped our national character.

 

Southwest: Santa Fe, New Mexico to San Diego, California

Route: Santa Fe, NM → Tucson, AZ → San Diego, CA

Total Mileage: About 875 miles

Estimated Trip Time: 6–8 days

The Southwest tells its own American story — one rooted in exploration, cultural exchange, and good old-fashioned ‘Merican military might. Begin in Santa Fe, New Mexico, one of the oldest cities in the U.S. The Santa Fe Plaza and Palace of the Governors mark key points of Spanish colonization and eventual American governance.

Make your way south to Tucson, where the Presidio San Agustín del Tucson offers a glimpse into 18th-century frontier life under multiple flags. While you’re there, drop by the Pima Air & Space Museum. (Because nothing says “America” like 400+ military aircraft parked in the desert.)

Then finish in San Diego, one of the most military-friendly big cities in America, where patriotic sights come with a sea breeze. (It’s also a great place to celebrate the Fourth.) Tour the USS Midway Museum, docked in the harbor, and visit Cabrillo National Monument for sweeping views and military history. For a quiet night, pull into Campland on the Bay and watch the sun set over Mission Bay.

Why This Trip Shines: It’s a sun-drenched journey through America’s southwestern legacy — where forts, freedom, and fighter jets all share the same bright horizon.

Park model RVs aren’t your average rig. These compact cabins-on-wheels blend the best of two worlds — mobility and comfort. They offer more space than a typical RV, but are still towable (with some effort). A park model is ideal for a long-term stay or a seasonal setup, and more RV parks than ever are creating designated areas for these tiny-home-style getaways. But for anyone thinking about purchasing a park model, Rule No. 1 is probably to know a few beautiful RV parks where you can permanently park it.

Destination trailers fit right in here. It’s a natural habitat for retirees or remote workers looking for space, quiet, and a low-cost winter escape. You’re still just a short drive from Lake Okeechobee, Fort Myers, and local wildlife sanctuaries. Quite simply, this a great home base to settle in for the season.

What Makes It Great: Room to breathe and the kind of slow-rolling (or even stationary) Florida lifestyle most folks only dream about.

 

Your Choice of Destination Trailer Sites

Destination trailers are built to turn a great location into a true home-away-from-home. Whether you’re dreaming of beachside breezes, mountain views, lake life, or desert stillness, the key is finding destination trailer sites with all the hookups (and heart) that you and your rig need to feel like you belong.

Before you commit to a park, make sure they accept destination trailers. (Some parks limit stays or have size restrictions.) Also, consider what kind of vibe you want. Some parks lean into the luxury resort lifestyle. Others feel more like classic campgrounds where neighbors become friends. You know, where the highlight of the day is watching the sunset with a cold one in hand.

Whichever way you lean, these six destination trailer sites deliver on what matters most — location, comfort, and the freedom to stay as long as you like. And when your rig’s built for the long haul, there’s no better feeling than finding the perfect place to park it.

There’s a new option for the ultimate bachelor bash: Hit the road. After all, you or your friend’s freedom to roam will soon be saddled with marital responsibility. So now’s the perfect time to enjoy a mobile party, where your crew gets tighter with every mile. No Ubers. No crowds (unless you really want them). Just your squad, the road, and enough space to stock all the bacon and beer for a bachelor party road trip!

While we kid about bachelor parties being a last hurrah, the reality is that there are certainly more getaways in your future. That means renting an RV for your bachelor party road trip is more than just great planning — it’s also savvy research for a future getaway vehicle. (Later on, when you’ve purchased the perfect RV, you’ll thank me.)

But for now, here’s everything you need to plan an awesome guys’ trip — RV-style. We’ll talk through great routes, off-grid options, eligible beaches, and the best RV types to get you there.

 

3 Killer Routes for a Bachelor Party Road Trip

Nothing says “bachelor sendoff” like grabbing a shortlist of your best men and hitting the highway. Here are three absolutely unforgettable short(ish) road trips that are easy on the driving, but deliver big-time on scenery and party potential.

 

1. Pacific Coast Highway, California

From San Fran to San Diego, the PCH is the gold standard for cruising. Check out Big Sur’s rugged cliffs, pull over for wine tastings in Paso Robles, and post up at Santa Barbara’s beachfront campgrounds. This route lets you mix upscale stops with wild nights in beach towns like Santa Cruz and Venice. Plus, it’s California. Sunshine and surf are practically guaranteed.

 

2. Austin to Fredericksburg, Texas

Start in Austin for live music, brisket, and a bar scene hotter than a sizzling summer sidewalk. Then steer west, young man, to Fredericksburg for Hill Country charm and more wineries than you can shake a cork at. Wrap things up with a night under the stars at Enchanted Rock — just don’t try to hike it in flip-flops after too many Lone Stars.

 

3. Asheville to the Smokies, North Carolina

This is the perfect mix of craft brews and backcountry adventure. Start with Asheville’s iconic brewery scene, which is unparalleled on either side of the Mississippi. Then point the RV toward the Smokies for campfires, waterfalls, and Appalachian vibes. Ideal for the crew that wants equal parts nature and nightcap.

 

Boondocking Bachelors: Off-Grid and On Point

You’re in the wild. You’re unplugged. And you’re saving coin you can blow on better beer or a bigger honeymoon. Boondocking bachelor parties ditch the campground noise and throw the party wherever you want. Think cliffside views, forest clearings, or deserts under the stars. And the best part: No neighbors to complain about your karaoke choices or ask you to turn down the grill smoke. Just you and the guys — and whatever chaos unfolds.

 

Top 3 RV Spots for a Bachelor Beach Party

When in doubt, head for sand and surf. These three beaches are perfect for letting loose — swimsuits and sunscreen mandatory.

 

1. South Padre Island, Texas

This beach town knows how to party. With RV parks right near the beach. (Check out Isla Blanca Park.) You can go from beach volleyball to grill-master mode in seconds. Bonus: Spring Break energy all year long.

 

2. Hunting Island State Park, South Carolina

Tucked just outside Beaufort, this park offers miles of quiet beach, tall pines, and oceanfront campsites at Hunting Island Campground. It’s a laid-back spot perfect for bachelor parties that want more whiskey-by-the-fire vibes and less clubbing downtown.

 

3. Pismo Beach, California

One of the few spots where you can legally camp your RV on the beach. Oceano Dunes SVRA is where off-roading meets oceanfront bonfires. If your crew likes dune buggies, beers, and sunsets, it’s an easy yes.

 

Picking the Right Rig

Time to talk wheels. Not all RVs are built for bachelor glory. Here’s your breakdown if you’re shopping RV types. (And we have a short guide to some great road-trip models too.)

 

The Land Yacht – Class A

• Pros: Class As feel like a hotel on wheels. Room for everyone, two TVs, full kitchen, leather recliners. You’ll feel like the mobile version of a Vegas high roller.
  
• Cons: You’ll need a separate budget just for gas. Plus, someone has to drive this bus — which means somebody’s always on water duty.
• Bachelor Vibe: Rich uncle rented it. You’re just along for the ride (and the mimosa bar). Somebody brought an espresso machine.

 

The Stealth Van – Class B

• Pros: Class Bs are easy to drive, park anywhere, and great for a more low-key adventure crew.
• Cons: Sleeps two, maybe three — so unless your crew is very cozy, you’ll need a convoy of these. And good luck with bathroom logistics.
• Bachelor Vibe: Indie film road trip. Lots of flannel. Somebody brought a ukulele.

 

The Sweet Spot – Class C

• Pros: Class Cs have enough room to party without feeling like a tank. Sleeps four to six easy, and still fits into most campsites. The built-in, over-the-cab crash pad is perfect for literal hangovers.
• Cons: Gas mileage is meh. And once it’s parked, it’s parked—you’re not taking it to run errands.
• Bachelor Vibe: College reunion energy. Big cooler, loud music, somebody brought a guitar.

 

Basecamp on a Hitch – Travel Trailer

• Pros: Tow the travel trailer with a truck, drop it at camp, then drive your tow vehicle to explore. You get the best of both worlds.
  
• Cons: Somebody has to know how to back it in. If not, expect shouting, hand signals, and what is it called when friends get divorced?
• Bachelor Vibe: Bonfires, beer pong, and somebody brought a banjo. And another guy brought fireworks “just in case.”

 

Big, Bad, and Bougie – Fifth Wheel

• Pros: Fifth wheels give you an apartment-on-wheels amount of space. Slide-outs. Fireplaces. Walk-in closets. Camping like a king, or at least his favorite nephew.
  
• Cons: You need a heavy-duty truck and at least two YouTube tutorials to hitch it right.
• Bachelor Vibe: The groom’s brother sells crypto and funded the trip. Somebody brought a nine iron and a bag of balls. There’s a kegerator onboard.

 

What Makes a Great Bachelor Party Road Trip

Your bachelor party doesn’t have to follow the same tired script. If you want to blend adventure with chaos, and create a weekend your crew will be talking about until the wedding’s silver anniversary, go RV. Whether you’re camping in the desert, ripping down the PCH, or camping on the beach with hot dogs in hand, there’s no better way to send off single life. So gas up, pack light, and remember: What happens in the RV… might end up on the group chat. Forever.
