How To Create Your Own Epic RV Glamping Excursion

For some folks, camping might seem like a bare-bones experience. But glamping (otherwise known as glamorously camping) in an RV rental can be ultra luxurious. Instead of pitching a tent and swatting bugs away, you can glamp in a fully air-conditioned RV with cozy couches, comfy beds and all the amenities you could ever want to feel right at home.

You can glamp on the go and sightsee from the road. Or, if you don't feel like driving (or paying for gas), an RV delivery or a stationary rental is the perfect option: It gets set up in the scenic location of your choice for you — you just have to show up and enjoy!

Renting your perfect RV is easier than ever, too, thanks to RVshare, the world's first and largest peer-to-peer RV rental marketplace. RVshare offers thousands of listings and easy-to-use filters to find the exact RV to suit your needs, budget and comfort.

So, are you ready to go glamping? Here’s what you need to know to plan a perfectly elegant summer escape.

Find The Perfect RV For Your Vacation.

Select An RV To Match Your Adventure

RVshare offers plenty of fully loaded Class A motorhomes with all kinds of features, from multiple bathrooms to built-in washers and dryers and even state-of-the-art entertainment areas. And you don’t need a special driver’s license to drive an RV, either. Anyone 25 and older with a valid license can get behind the wheel. With all the motorhome and camper options RVshare offers, there’s one sure to meet your driving comfort level, whether you prefer a small camper van or feel secure navigating while towing an RV.

When you’re planning for a smaller group and budget — or if a luxury RV isn’t your style — RVshare also has listings for camper vans, pop-up campers and other motorhomes. When you book on RVshare, you can find amazing rental options that won’t break the bank.

If you don’t want to drive an RV or fill it up with gas, then an RV delivery or a stationary rental might be just what you’re looking for. With these rentals, your RV is set up and ready when you arrive — all you have to do is sit back and relax.

What Are Delivery Rentals?

When you choose a delivery rental, you can have your RV delivered to almost any location, which is an optimal solution if you prefer not to drive and plan to stay in one location for the duration of your trip, such as a national park or beach campground. You will still need to pay for any campground fees, but you won’t have to worry about the setup or break-down. Before booking, you will want to verify the radius in which the RV owner will deliver, to make sure they can drop off the RV at your destination.

What Are Stationary Rentals?

Unlike a delivery rental, which can be transported to different locations, a stationary rental is already permanently parked at its destination, usually somewhere scenic. With a stationary rental, your water and electric connections will already be set up, and the RV will be ready for use when you arrive. All you need to do is add your own personal things to get your vacation started. When your trip is over, the owner will manage tear-down and waste dumping.

Pick The Perfect Setting

One of the great things about renting an RV is that you have options for exploring. You can set off on a road trip and visit multiple locations, or you can park and play in one place. Your glamping adventure can begin in almost any scenic location, from the beaches to the desert, and from the mountains to the forests — and everywhere in between.

If you prefer a campground for your escape, KOA offers more than 500 campground locations across the country. You can even book a site with a KOA Patio, ideal for creating a fun, outdoor entertaining space. KOA campgrounds offer many amenities, such as RV hookups, self-serve laundry facilities, playgrounds — and in some locations, you’ll find swimming pools and cafes.

If you’re eager to stay at a truly unique location, Harvest Hosts is a membership program that provides out-of-the-ordinary camping sites, such as wineries, farms, breweries, museums and other distinctive spots. RVers are allowed to enjoy the amenities and stay overnight without any camping fees. Harvest Hosts has more than 3,600 locations throughout the lower 48 states, Alaska, Canada and Baja California.

Choose The Perfect Theme For Your Trip

Once you’ve decided where to stay, choosing a theme will help you set the right mood for your glamping experience. No matter where you decide to vacation, your glamping design can be a reflection of what glamour and luxury mean to you. Whether you want to celebrate in island style, enjoy the comfort of a cottage retreat, seek the vibe of a Boho space or want lots of glitz and bling, adding decor — such as twinkle lights, candles, cozy throws and pillows to match your vibe — will help bring your design to life.

Don’t Forget The Little Things

Whether a charcuterie board and wine chiller are called for, or a sun tea jar and key lime pie recipe are what you need, plan the little details that will make it an RV trip to remember! And unlike tent camping, in your RV you have space for the items you may need so you can plan a special gourmet meal or a barbecue celebration.
