Okaloosa Island - By neepster - Flickr

 If you're planning an RV roadtrip, and keep finding Parks are booked out,  there's a new park on the market on Okaloosa Island, Florida - Destin West RV Resort.  The park opened 9th March just off Highway 98 on the island.

The park took two years to build and has on offer, a heated pool, laundry room, a shop and each site (of which there are 54) has a picnic table and patio! The owners want a site that has everything on offer for guests so that won't need to drive their car until their holiday is over. 

Another new RV park to open up in March was St. Rosa Sound RV Resort in Navarre.  This has more than 80 sites of which 24 are waters edge spots.  This park has a pool, fitness centre and laundry.

With so many parks constantly holding up no vacancy signs, there's now a couple more options for your RV vacation.

Get your kicks on Route 66!

By sjorford - Flickr

Like the old song suggests "take the highway that's best, get your kicks on Route 66". The compelling road has been well traveled and highly captivates roadtrippers all around the world! Is it because it goes through the heart of the nation? Or does it draw people in because it's so ingrained in time? Are the neon lights and rusty abandoned tractors the pull? What ever it is, it must be on the to-do list of every keen roadtripper.

Route 66, also known as the 'main street of America' stretches diagonally through the heart of USA from LA to Chicago. It was established in 1926 as one of the original US highways. It covers a total of 2,448 miles (3940km) and served as a major path for those migrating west. Business was good along the highway for communities because of the popularity of the route. Now days, businesses along the route stay alive due to their geographical placement and play up their connections to the historic route for the roadtrippers.

Route 66 takes you through a cross section of the States, from sundrenched LA, through the barren deserts and canyons and and into the streets and citylife of Chicago.

Join the nostalgia and yearn for the good old days on route 66 in an RV this summer. The journey could take you ten days, less than ten days or a month. However long you want to spend in each place is up to you!

The two lane (in most places) will be lined by hundred's of typical Diner's, dilapidated Gas stations, dero motels and many a tourist attraction. Perfect for a picture or two backed by a blue summer sky. Wind your way on the seemingly endless road passing through small roadside towns followed by another endless horizon. Sounds perfect for a roadtrip!

Your journey begins in LA. Pick up an RV and get on the road! From LA you'll travel interstate 7 times. California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Illinois!

California: Take a walk on Santa Monica Pier in LA and to start the journey off, check out the Barstow Route 66 Mother Road Museum.

Arizona: Possibly the most spectacular part of the trip, but we'll let you decide. The Grand Canyon National Park should be your destination. The Soaring canyon will leave you breathtaken. Enjoy some coffee, jewellery or Route 66 gifts at Historic Seligman Sundries in Seligman and Cool Springs Camp standing on the side of the road between Kingman and Oatman.

New Mexico: Alburquerque, Tinkertown and a plethora of museums , take your pick. Santa Rosa also is home to the geological phenomenon - the famous Blue Hole, an astonishingly clear water hole in the middle of the desert.

Texas: Amarillo will give you more museums, 6th street district and a route 66 themed rest area.

Oklahoma: The state with more attractions on Route 66 than any other. Stock up the RV with some Nut's from the nut house, stop in at Sandhill's curosity shop in Erick and Cherokee Trading post.

Kansas: Four Women on the route is an old Route 66 service station if you need to fill up.

Missouri: Has museums, gardens and a dreamy drive in movie theatre! And, as a bit of a gimmick, it also holds the world's largest rocking chair in Fanning.

Illinois: The destination state. Home to a corn maze ( in the fall) and many a museum and attraction.

The terrific freedom of an RV means you can stop wherever you want for a break or rest, pull up in any RV Park and spend the night or, travel for hours on end. You'll be glad of an RV when you're in the middle of barren land and need to use the bathroom, or feel like a cup of coffee...

Check out some RV parks on or near route 66. Don't risk turning up to a run down Motel, get yourself an RV for the journey at RV Rental Sale Finder.

Have a fantastic journey! Let us know of any great stops to do on route 66!

Savannah to Miami Roadtrip!

By miamism - Flickr Commons

With the U.S.A. being such a huge country, there are countless roadtrips to be had, but one that comes to mind, and maybe isn't as popular as others, is Savannah to Miami (or vice versa). Add on to the beginning a few more destinations like Boston to make it a longer trip.

So... begin the trip in Savannah, picking up an RV there or drive in from somewhere else. Savannahs's architecture and historic buildings impress any visitor as do it's many square parks. Plan your trip for the annual music festival and you can relax to the sweet sounds of many diverse artists. Remember, you'll be in the South now so the music is surely to be good .

Head south on I95 through to Jacksonville. But, bear in mind if you're in an RV you can stop for the night anywhere on the way. Such freedom! Check out the Jacksonville beach communities along the Atlanta Coast and it's extensive urban park systems. Many parks even provide facilities for boating, swimming, fishing, sailing jetskiing surfing and waterskiing. For a more cultural experience visit the many museums or old music venues where legends such as Ray Charles and Ella Fitzgerald once played.

Head South again, stopping at St. Augustine, Palm Coast or Daytona Beach. If you're keen for a Theme park experience head a little inland to Orlando and experience Walt Disney World Resort. The trip South into Florida is coastline and packed with beaches, so pull up the RV and rest next to a beautiful beach with a coffee, and a book! Again I say, so much freedom in an RV.

Definitely stop in at Fort Lauderdale. Fort Lauderdale is not only home to a fantastic beach and beach culture but great bars, nightclubs, history and Arts and Entertainment. You can even stay in an RV park alongside the River.

Last stop (if you want it to be) can be Miami. Miami needs no explaining as it's the leader in arts, culture, entertainment and of course many great beaches. Try some Floribbean cuisine, specialties for this part of America, with Caribbean and Latin American influences. Check out the Miami Roadtrip blog for more Miami RV ideas.

You can take the journey as slow as you want or as fast as you want in the freedom of an RV. Explore all the sites in your own time, and get yourself a deal on an RV at RV Rental Sale Finder.

It's not far to Santa Barbara from Ventura, on highway 1, so you could spend the night there or keep heading north.

A popular tourist destination and home to many Spanish buildings, Santa Barbara is a beach town waiting to be explored.

Head north and to make the most of the coastal scenery, don't join highway 101 but keep on highway 1. Pull up along the coast and have a picnic or swim or stop in the smaller towns for a look around. Stay the night in a smaller town's RV park such as Morro Bay or Plaskett (among others) or drive the full way to Santa Cruz.

• Santa Cruz is another Spanish settlement come Beach resort community. Take a walk through the Redwood forests, along the beautiful coastlines, enjoy some time at the oceanfront amusement park or get amongst the alternative community lifestyle.

• Find an RV park for the night like Santa Cruz Redwoods RV Resort.

From Santa Cruz you're not far from San Francisco. Continue the final leg of your journey ( or stay somewhere on the way) up the coastal route highway 1.

Keep your RV in San Francisco for a few days, giving you time to explore or return it to a depot.

Be sure to drive over the Golden gate bridge, perhaps take a ride to Alcatraz or Treasure Islands, visit US's oldest and one of the largest Chinatown or shop the boutiques along Fillmore Street. With so much to do you'll probably want to keep the RV a few extra days.

Have a fantastic journey!! And feel free to suggest any other great places to stop and visit.
