6 Reasons you should plan an RV vacation in the spring

Most campers and RVers will plan to book their trips for the warm summer season, but Spring is a great time to hit the road and explore, too. From late March to late June, take advantage of the season’s fresh air and sunshine as you discover new and exciting places. If you’re thinking about planning a springtime RV vacation, here are some of the benefits to consider. 

1. Breathe in the fresh air.
   Fresh air can provide a long list of benefits. It can help lower your blood pressure, reduce stress, increase energy, hone focus, improve your mood, and even help you sleep¹.

   
   

2. Move your body and get some vitamin D.
   Shake off the winter blues and get moving. Head to a campsite where you can find plenty of exercise opportunities, like hiking, biking, fishing, kayaking, bird watching, and playing. Your body will also benefit from the boost of vitamin D you get from the sun which can support your immune system and strengthen bones². Whether you sit in a chair by the lake, hike along a local trail or play card games at a picnic bench, soak in the sun as you boost your health and wellness.

   
   

3. Stay comfortable and encounter fewer insects.
   Hot summer temperatures can make the outdoors uncomfortable. Cooler spring temperatures mean you can spend time outside without worrying about the risks associated with extreme heat like heatstroke, sunburn, and dehydration. Plus, you’ll enjoy fewer mosquitoes, ticks, and flies. It’s still important to wear long pants in the woods, drink plenty of fluids and pack sunscreen and bug spray.

   
   

4. Experience lighter crowds.
   Lighter crowds in the spring also mean less noise and more room to spread out. Popular campgrounds and prime RV sites are also more available.

   
   

5. Enjoy springtime wildlife.
   Spring is a great opportunity to connect with nature and be entertained by wildlife. Watch the squirrels, chipmunks and birds frolic and play and use your photography skills to capture beautiful pictures of nature. Respect your surroundings by observing wild animals from afar, removing garbage promptly, and locking your RV doors.

   
   

6. Take advantage of lower rates.
   Campsite and RV rental prices are generally cheaper during the off-season. Also, consider borrowing or renting the equipment you use infrequently.

Make sure you’re covered before you plan your spring-time adventure. If you have purchased your RV or you are considering it, you will want to arrange insurance.
