Exploring The National Park System By RV: Lava Beds National Monument

What comes to mind when you think about California’s best national parks for RVers? Yosemite? Sequoia? The Redwoods? If you’re like most people, RVing to Lava Beds National Monument is not on the radar. Ranked as the 214th most visited location out of 423 National Park System sites, few people are willing to make the trek. But their loss is your gain if you go.

Your National Parks RV Camping Getaway Plan

More people are leaping into the RV lifestyle every year. They’re exploring national parks in comfort, but all that extra traffic makes spontaneous road trips to the parks largely a thing of the past, at least during the busy summer season. With more rigs on the road than campsites to accommodate them, RVers like me are constantly competing for a scant number of RV-friendly campsites. I learned this lesson the hard way when I arrived at Yellowstone without reservations.
