Travel USA in style by searching and booking your RV / Motorhome in three easy steps.
San Francisco is the friendliest and artsiest city in the US. Here are five things to make sure you do when in ‘Shaky Town’.
This famous bridge is possibly the most well-known thing about San Francisco, and it merits a visit for sure. Put on sunscreen for your walk across the famous bridge or else you will end up with an asymmetrical burn, still worth it though!
Here is a little bit of everything San Francisco has to offer. Shopping, great sweet and savory food, street performers, museums, art galleries, and a chance to see the sea lions that hang out on the rocky shore.
The famous former prison can be reached by ferry. Once you arrive you will receive a headset and a tap to listen to the tour at your leisure. The story about the prison escape is the most interesting. Outside you can walk around the island and enjoy the grounds. A truly unique and eerie National Historic Landmark.
This little slice of heaven feels completely isolated from the city and you have a less touristy, more authentic experience. There are hiking trails winding around a rugged coastline with hidden gems such as Sutro bath and caves. Located on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge, it provides awesome views of the city and the bridge, especially from the Cliff House Bar. It gets chilly by the water so dress in layers!
The Golden Gate Park has plenty of attractions to offer but if you are short on time I would recommend the trio of the Japanese Tea Garden, California Academy of Sciences, and the De Young (fine arts) museum, all located in the Music Concourse Area. These are connected by an open-air plaza that is often filled with street performers and artists.
Miami is a great location to pick up your RV because there is plenty of beachy campgrounds, it’s close driving distance to the Everglades and there are endless options about where to go after Florida. Do you want to travel up the coast of Florida? Maybe continue up the east coast towards New York? Or perhaps head west with a one-way RV motorhome rental and drive along the Gulf of Mexico to New Orleans and Houston? Whatever you decide, make sure you check out what Miami has to offer before heading on the road!
Boat Tour
Take a boat tour or an airboat with one of many companies in Miami. Get the chance to see flowers and wildlife in nature! Alligators and baby alligators are commonly seen on boat tours.
Buffalo Tiger’s Airboat ToursThe Wynwood area is known for its graphic street art. The ‘walls’ here are covered in amazing, colorful art pieces. Walk around, enjoy the art, and maybe drop-in to a craft brewery. There are also lots of great restaurants in this area.
The Bayfront Park is 32-acres of maintained greenery located in the center of downtown Miami. Take part in the activities held here or catch a show at the amphitheater. There is a sandy beach, a waterfall, a tropical rock garden, and vendors to quench your thirst. Taking a stroll around the park will give you the opportunity to see monuments such as a World War 2 Veteran’s Memorial, the Challenger Memorial, Statues of Claude Pepper, Julia Tuttle, and Christopher Columbus, and the Mildred and Claude Pepper’s Fountain. The park extends along Biscayne Bay leading to the Bayside Marketplace.
Zoological Wildlife Foundation
The ZWF is no ordinary zoo. When you arrive you will be appointed a knowledgeable guide to lead you around the area. You have the opportunity to get personal with the animals and even hold them. The center truly cares about providing the best quality of life to the animals as possible. A great family activity to see local and exotic animals.
Dolphin Mall
Outlet shopping, anyone?!
Visit Bayside in the afternoon or evening for live music. This is a great place to shop for souvenirs, hang out, people watch, and grab a bite to eat!

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens
‘Villa Vizcaya’ is a former estate of James Deering, a successful antiquities collector. It is in the Coconut Grove neighborhood on the Biscayne Bay. There are Italian Renaissance gardens and the architecture and furnishings were also inspired by Italy when the estate was built in the early 1900s.
Perez Art Museum Miami
If you like modern art, the PAMM is for you.
Little Havana
Culture, history, good food, and even better cigars! Little Havana is named after the capital of Cuba and is appropriate because the Cuban-American population here is large. You can get by with English but a Spanish phrasebook is always handy. Sip on a mojito after taking a walking tour of this colorful district. Make sure to seek a cigar shop that rolls the cigars in front of your eyes!

There’s just something about warm weather and beaches that go together. Is it the sand, the surf, the relaxation? Or a little bit of all three. As we travel around during summer vacations to soak up the sun, where are some of the best places to go? Take a look at our top 5 must-see beaches across the USA:

Spread along a narrow 3 mile stretch of the Pinellas Peninsula on the Golf Coast, Clearwater straddles Tampa Bay to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Visitors can relax on the beach and swim or spend the day playing beach volleyball, taking a dolphin-watching cruise, rent a fishing boat, or go parasailing.

One of the world’s most perfect stretches of sand, Hulopo’e Beach can be found at the base of Manele Bay, a designated marine preserve. The Bay is filled with colorful fish making snorkeling and diving a must. Plus swimming in 70-degree water doesn’t hurt either.
