FMCA members always seem to be looking for the next great adventure. Whether that means savoring some amazing food at a local dive, enjoying stunning views in the great outdoors, traveling to lesser-known areas to explore, or staying somewhere rare. Well, knowing that these places are fun and exciting to find, FMCA came up with a small list of commercial member campgrounds and attractions RV travelers should definitely seek out.
Cascade Caverns
Located in Boerne, Texas, and carved beneath the Texas Hill Country, you’ll find the stalactite-covered walls of Cascade Caverns. These underground passages have been open to the public since 1932, but private tours have taken place since the 1870s. Guided tours will take you through the corridor of timeless beauty created by Mother Nature herself. Cascade Caverns offers a variety of tours that will fit any skill level and interest: basic, advanced, and flashlight tours. Tours involve some stooping due to small, tight spaces, and 100 steps lead down to and back up from the caverns. Come witness the mystery and wonder of Cascade Caverns. The Cascade Caverns Campground offers RV sites with water, electric, and/or full hookups. RVs 35 feet or more in length cannot be accommodated.
Casini Ranch
Since 1965 the Casini family has welcomed campers and RVers from all over the world to come enjoy their little piece of paradise. Located in northern California, in the town of Duncans Mills, this family-owned ranch has lots to offer. Sitting on over a mile of the beautiful Russian River, the Casini Ranch encourages you to get on the water by offering canoe, kayak, and paddle board rentals. Maybe water sports aren’t for you? No problem! Just rent one of their golf carts or pedal bikes and go explore the farm. But make sure you don’t miss out on their organized group activities and beach bonfires. With such a premier location, close to the majestic redwoods in Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve and the fishing village of Bodega Bay, you won’t run out of adventures. The Casini Ranch Family Campground offers RV sites with electricity, water, and sewer.
Meteor Crater & Barringer Space Museum
More than 50,000 years ago, a giant fireball streaked across the North American sky. It struck the Earth in northern Arizona, exploding with a force 150 times greater than an atomic bomb! Sitting in Winslow, Arizona, preserved by its dry climate, the crater looks almost unchanged. Here you can walk along the edge on a guided tour to learn about the history and science behind this incredible natural landmark. Listen and learn while your guide tells the story and geologic impact created from this rare event. Today the floor of the crater is 550 feet deep, equivalent to a 60-story building. Meteor Crater RV Park has RV sites with electric and water. Dump station is available.
Nashville Shores Lakeside Resort

Featuring Nashville’s largest waterpark, it includes more than 20 attractions and 1 million gallons of water fun: from water slides to spraygrounds to water treehouses, as well as a splash pool, a wave pool, and a lazy river.

Yosemite Ridge

This resort provides beautiful mountain views and the perfect base camp for your adventures. Yosemite National Park is home to over 400 different species and the Yosemite Valley. The Yosemite Valley is only 1% of the entire national park that was formed by glaciers that reached about 4,000 feet in thickness approximately 1 million years ago. Over time, these glaciers slowly moved down the river valleys, creating the U-shaped valley walls and unique landforms. With more than 800 miles of hiking trails and giant sequoia trees estimated to be 3,000 years old, you won’t run out of nature’s beauty here. Yosemite Ridge’s RV sites offer a variety of hookup options: electric, water, and/or full hookup.
