This summer, forget the country’s most frequented RV parks, and treat you and your family to the adventure and wonder of these five “best-kept secrets” when it comes to places to take your RV. From coastal beaches to natural waterfalls, these alternative destinations garner extremely high ratings by both loyal patrons and surprise encounters alike and are sure to provide memories of the outdoors to last a lifetime.
Rifle Falls State Park (CO)
With dense, rich greenery surrounding an incredible 80-foot triple waterfall, this awe-inspiring environment of limestone caves and picturesque picnicking spots offers an ideal destination for weddings, special events, and impromptu day trips alike. With only 13 drive-in spots, the falls can be extremely busy during the summer – so planning trips for the autumn months or early spring may be key when it comes to the most serene and untainted outdoor experience possible. A number of popular RV destinations have been known to offer scenic waterfall views – but three, and at the height of a multistory building? Don’t waste your precious vacation time visiting other locations when you can treat yourself to the ultimate falls experience at Rifle Falls State Park!

Jetty Fishery (OR)
Family run for over thirty years, this adored coastal gem has been hailed as one of the best locales for fishing, crabbing, and all around coastline-loving family trips.

Take a peacefully scenic stroll on the Peninsula to grab an ice cream cone at the classic coastal town of Manzanita. Rent a boat and fish your heart out, as the infamously friendly staff will be waiting for you upon your return with buckets of boiling water to steam your catch in. Between the abundance of Dungeness crab and both natural and cultural sights to see, this place could never disappoint a family looking for a seaside retreat full of both adventure and relaxation!

Just an FYI – your first picture of Manatee Springs – is not Manatee Springs. It is of Fanning Springs – a nearby Florida State Park, but otherwise unaffiliated with Manatee Springs.
Do you have an ultra-leather interior? Is it cracking and peeling? My 2012 Tiffin is and so are many rigs!!
drop a note to motorhome magazine or to me via e-mail. My michelin tires were worn out after 24000 miles and 6 years of use.
