Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Best RV Friendly Beach Towns?
Permalink  

I'm doing a bit of inspirational daydreaming today, and being a beach gal at heart, I can totally see myself spending lots of time on the coast. Just wondering what beach towns you've visited and found to be the most (and least!) RV friendly. Thanks!

Do you mean places you can drive your RV around, park and act like it is a big car? Or do you mean places with lots of campground choices? There are lots of beach towns with campgrounds, few have the wide roads and parking spaces for larger vehicles like most RVs. Boondocking around beach towns, if allowed, is normally for a fee. You can camp on the beach at Pismo Beach CA, I think it is $10 a night. Since others think like you do, most beach town campgrounds are on the pricey side.

We have camped from Myrtle Beach SC (multiple campgrounds on the beach) south around Florida and along the Gulf of Mexico all the way into Texas. We have been near the Pacific Ocean from Southern California up into Alaska. Don't forget fresh water beaches, there are lots of choices along the Great Lakes. With fresh water you don't get the corrosion and damage of salt water.

Since you are in NC, I'm guessing you mean east coast beach towns.

However, if interested most of the West Coast beach towns are RV friendly with lots of RV Resorts and campgrounds either in or near the town.

Thanks everyone. I'll probably start out with the East Coach beaches, but will definitely expand my horizons all over eventually. One of my favorite beach escapes is the Outer Banks. Anyone camped at any of the RV parks out there?

Myrtle Beach will definitely be on the list too!

Florida has some fabulous state parks with beachfront access - Anastasia in St. Augustine, Gamble Rogers just south of there, Sebastian Inlet, Bahia Honda, etc.

And most of the coastal towns have RV parks and resorts that either in walking or short driving distance.

Bill and I stayed at a KOA in Rodanthe a few years ago. Has beach access. Only downside is the price.

I'm guessing many of those areas are pricey, but that might be a sacrifice I'd be willing to make, just to be by the sea, lol.

Kelly ~ I LOVE Rodanthe! One of my favorite areas to vacation on the island!

I know this is kinda late (working alot lately)...but if you hit southwest FL, Bonita Springs has a park just 3 miles from the beach and is very reasonably priced.

I love staying in Wells, Maine. There are a lot of campgrounds in town. The beach itself is on an outer island so no campgrounds directly on the beach, but some are on the marsh. Big plus for this area is a trolley system during the season. For $2 a day you can get on and off the trolley anywhere through 4 towns including Kennebunkport and out to the beach.

We are staying on the coastal bend in TX, in Port Aransas. So far we love this spot, although the weather this winter has not been kind. Rv'ers here say this is the coldest winter they've had in years. There are tons of rv parks, and they also allow parking on the beaches if that's your preference. :)

N.H Coastline.......there is 18 miles of coast in NH....route 1 is very nice and is coach friendly with lots of pull-outs.

Traffic is very high though , there is a large camping area/State park that is waterfront in Hampton Beach....There is a decent campground in Exeter 10 miles inland that is very affordable (1/2 the coastal rate) called Exeter Elms.......

Coastal campgrounds in New England are very pricey and crowded durring season as are the beaches. as are the roads....(you can outpace moving traffic in hampton on foot!!)

The National Seashore Park on Ocracoke Island is nice, as well as some of the state parks up on Hatteras Island. I will say, depending on the timing, the sand fleas can eat you alive there. Otherwise I love Ocracoke, 26 miles of beach with little to no houses in the way.

Thanks everyone! Reading this thread has really inspired me today!

I would love to work my way around the coast and visit all the beaches I love, and get to know the ones I've never been to!

Hanna State Park in Jacksonville Beach, wooded sites, walk to the Ocean, and the town of Jax Beach is great.  We like to go the first weekend inApril, and enjoy the free Springing the Blues Festival.  Also, we love Fort Desoto State Park just south of St. Petersburg
