Make this Memorial Day memorable by renting an RV for your beach getaway! We’ve selected some of the best beaches to camp on from coast to coast. We’ve also found beachside RV resorts. All you have to do is book an RV through RVshare.
RVshare lets you borrow someone else’s RV. Many of them can be delivered — no setup or driving required! We’ve selected a few RVs that are available (at the time of this writing) to book for Memorial Day. The beach is a top destination for travelers in 2021, according to a Phocuswright US Travel Survey that was conducted in partnership with RVshare, so we selected some of the best beaches in the country to camp at this Memorial Day.
We chose a small drivable RV, a towable trailer, and a large luxury motorhome, for each beach, but RVshare offers a wide variety! To see more RVs, simply enter the desired location, number of guests, and dates into their website. Some RV owners are offering discounts to active duty service people, veterans, and/or first responders in honor of the holiday.
Don’t wait to book — Memorial Day will be here before you know it! Make memories with family or friends with a one-of-a-kind camping experience. Here are our picks for an awesome weekend getaway by the beach.
