If you travel and camp with an RV like I do, you’ll find that Arizona is one of the best places to go. Known as the “Grand Canyon State,” it offers everything I look for in a road trip—epic natural beauty, sunshine for days, and barely any rain to worry about.

One thing I really love is how warm it stays, even in January. When I’ve needed a break from winter’s chill, Arizona has been my go-to escape. You can wake up to sunshine, enjoy breakfast outside, and explore without bundling up in layers. It makes RV life feel easy and relaxed.

I’ve stayed in several RV parks around the state, and each one has offered something special—some close to red rock formations, others with views of the desert or tucked away near quiet canyons. If you’re looking to unwind and explore everything this gorgeous state has to offer, Arizona’s RV parks are a perfect place to start.
