Camping in a Recreational Vehicle ("RV") is popular, and enables you to add many modern conveniences to the fun of camping. Some RVs are simply a camper top on a pickup truck, but many RVs provide entirely self-contained living spaces, complete with bathrooms, kitchens, even TVs and Internet. We have information about choosing a campground, camping in Canada, and you can even search for a campground.
