Awestruck. Moved. Humbled. Rejuvenated. If you ever spent time visiting a national park in the United States, you likely experienced a range of emotions as you spent time reflecting on the natural splendor before you.
Whether you are a nature enthusiast seeking a serene escape from your busy life, an adventurer seeking the thrill of river rafting or rock climbing, or you want to show your kids how beautiful the U.S. is, visiting a national park is a great way to create lifetime memories.
A Deep Appreciation for Nature
It all started with Yellowstone. On March 1, 1872, Congress established Yellowstone National Park in the Territories of Montana and Wyoming “as a public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people” and placed it “under exclusive control of the Secretary of the Interior.” The founding of Yellowstone National Park began a worldwide national park movement.
Then, on August 25, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the act creating the National Park Service, a new federal bureau in the Department of the Interior responsible for protecting the 35 national parks and monuments then managed by the department and those yet to be established.
Today, the National Park System of the United States comprises more than 400 areas covering more than 84 million acres in 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan, and the Virgin Islands.
There are 63 national parks scattered across the country, ready for you to explore!
Travel in Style and Comfort in a Luxury Motorcoach Rental
One way to experience the beauty of a national park is to travel there in a luxury motorcoach rental. Our LiTRV team can help you charter a Class A motorcoach, plan your itinerary and arrange for a private driver so you and your family and friends can relax during the journey.
Unlike standard RVs, a Class A motorcoach is the most extravagant RV on the market, ranging from 39 to 45 feet long. Much like a luxury hotel suite, they feature all the comforts of home including the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer and even a dishwasher.
When you rent a luxury motorcoach from LiTRV, you can have peace of mind knowing that you’re working with a full-service firm. Our professional drivers have decades of experience driving RVs and other large vehicles throughout the country. They are used to driving long hours, navigating twists and turns on mountain roads, and adjusting to diverse weather conditions. When there’s an overnight stop, we arrange for our driver to stay nearby so you can enjoy your privacy.
Reservations Book Up Quickly
It’s no secret that our national park system is a true treasure. In 2023, the National Park Service reported 325.5 million recreation visits throughout the year. Because of their popularity, some parks have timed-entry programs, limiting access to popular trails and roadways. Others cap maximum visitors per day.
We recommend planning your national park adventure at least 6 months in advance. This way, our LiTRV team can assist you with reservations within the park as well at nearby luxury RV resorts.
Our LiTRV team can also provide options for navigating hard-to-reach destinations within each park. Most parks have free shuttles to ferry people to key destinations within the park. We can also hook up your car or bicycles to the motorcoach, or provide you with a rental car so you can explore back roads on your own. In addition, our LiTRV team can make reservations for exciting excursions, such as helicopter rides, hot air balloon trips, river rafting, kayaking, and nearby ziplining adventures.
Here are three national parks worth visiting this summer:
Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming, Montana, Idaho)
America’s first national park – Yellowstone – is located within 2.2 million acres throughout Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. With dramatic views and abundant wildlife, the park also features stunning geothermal areas that contain about half the world’s active geysers. Nearly all the park’s most famous natural wonders are close to the path of the Grand Loop, the 140-mile, figure-eight-shaped main drag. This road consists of the north loop, featuring Mammoth Hot Springs and Tower Falls, and the south loop, featuring Old Faithful, Yellowstone Lake, Grand Prismatic, Hayden Valley and Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.
There’s plenty of outdoor fun throughout the park, including hiking trails, horseback riding, fishing, guided tours, and other activities. Lamar Valley, known as the “Serengeti of North America,” is a great area for spotting bison, elk, bears and other wildlife. Explore Yellowstone Lake in a guided boat tour or rent a motorboat or a rowboat for your own adventure. Tour the Old Faithful Inn, one of the few remaining log hotels in the United States, and then find a spot near the famous geyser, just outside of the inn. Old Faithful erupts every 35 to 120 minutes for 1 1/2 to 5 minutes. Its maximum height ranges from 90 to 184 feet.
With ample notice, our LiTRV team can also explore availability at nearby luxury RV resorts, such as Yellowstone’s Edge RV Park in Livingston, Montana. The pet-friendly resort features stunning river views, a general store, indoor and outdoor recreation, laundry facilities, and private fishing access.
Zion National Park (Utah)
Tucked into the southwest corner of Utah, Zion National Park is one of the state’s “Mighty Five” national parks and the most popular park, with more than 4 million visitors in 2023. The other four national parks in Utah include Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef.
The breathtaking park revolves around Zion Canyon—15 miles long and 2,000 to 3,000 feet deep. The park covers 229 square miles of red rock formations, including mountains, towering cliffs, and natural arches. Some of the rock formations are over 200 million years old. The park has also been home to the Ancestral Puebloan, Fremont and Southern Paiute people.
The National Park Service began operating shuttles in 2000 to reduce traffic and parking problems, protect vegetation, and restore tranquility to Zion Canyon. The Zion Canyon Shuttle connects the Zion Canyon Visitor Center to stops on the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive. Shuttles leave every few minutes and go either north or south. You can exit the shuttle at any open stop.
Spend the day hiking The Narrows, a watery trail through spectacular steep canyon walls. Bring a walking stick as much of the hike is through ankle- to waist-high water. Or plan ahead to hike Angels Landing, a strenuous hike with exposed edges and sheer drop-offs of as much as 1,000 feet on each side. The hike is so popular that you’ll need a permit, which is issued in advance via a lottery system. For a more moderate, but equally breathtaking trail, spend some time on the one-mile roundtrip Canyon Overlook Trail, which features stunning views down into Zion Canyon.
Our LiTRV team can explore availability at nearby luxury RV resorts, such as Zion River Resort RV Park & Campground in Virgin, Utah. With spectacular views, the resort features spacious RV sites with paved patios, a heated swimming pool and spa, a social hall, game room and activity area, a business center with a computer and printer, a gazebo-style community kitchen, charcoal grills, a general store and ice cream parlor and free high-speed internet. There is also a shuttle from the resort to Zion National Park.
Acadia National Park (Maine)
The Crown Jewel of the North Atlantic Coast, Acadia National Park features rugged coastal beauty, forested landscapes, and quaint New England charm. At 4 million visits a year, it’s one of the top 10 most-visited national parks in the United States.
Located 160 miles from Portland, Maine, and about 50 miles from Bangor, Acadia National Park is spread out through 47,000 acres on Maine’s Mount Desert Island. Its landscape is marked by woodland, rocky beaches and glacier-scoured granite peaks such as Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the United States’ East Coast. The quaint, bayside town of Bar Harbor is the gateway to the park.
In addition to diverse wildlife, such as moose, bears, whales and seabirds, the park has many scenic areas, such as Cadillac Mountain, where you can watch the sunrise from the highest peak on the U.S. East Coast. If weather permits, spend the day boating, canoeing and fishing in Great Long Pond. A trip to the park would not be complete without driving Park Loop Road, a 27-mile scenic route with access to iconic sights such as Thunder Hole and Sand Beach. In addition to plenty of hiking trails, the park includes 45 miles of carriage roads for those who want to explore the park on bicycle. Bike rentals are also available in Bar Harbor.
There are several luxury RV resorts nearby, such as the Timberland Acres RV Park in Trenton Maine. Located 14 miles from Bar Harbor and the entrance to Acadia National Park, the pet-friendly resort features private RV sites with picnic tables and fire rings, a playground, dog park, a basketball court, corn hole, golf cart rentals, an arcade, heated swimming pool, and planned activities throughout the season.
Summer may seem far off, but now is the optimal time to start planning your national park adventure in a luxury motorcoach rental. If you can be flexible with your travel dates, you may experience less crowds after Labor Day. Our LiTRV team is ready to help you explore your options. Give us a call at 847-833-6768, email us info@litrv.com or click on the “Get a Quote” button at the bottom of our home page.
It’s an exhilarating sight to see – thousands of vibrant wildflowers covering hillsides, blanketing valleys and dancing in meadow breezes. One way to celebrate the rejuvenating spirit of spring is to rent a motorcoach for your luxury vacation and explore some of the top destinations for this magical natural phenomenon.

Where and When to See Spectacular Wildflowers on Your Luxury Vacation
Texas Hill Country, Texas
Best Time to Visit: Mid-March to Early April
The Texas Hill Country is a geographic region of Central and South Texas, forming the southeast part of the Edwards Plateau. The countryside boasts an estimated 5,000 varieties of wildflowers, including bluebonnets, violet winecups, yellow square-bud primroses, pink Indian blankets, and Mexican Hat flowers.
Relax and take in the beauty as our LiTRV private driver takes you on a scenic drive along Highway 16 or brings you to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin for an immersive wildflower experience. Willow City Loop, just outside Fredericksburg, is another must-visit spot where you can marvel at vibrant blooms amidst rolling hills.
You may also want to combine your wildflower viewing with an exciting cave adventure. Hidden beneath the picturesque rolling landscape of the Texas Hill Country are thousands of caves and caverns. Known as the state’s “show caves,” these caves and caverns are equipped with walkways and dramatic lighting to help show off their most breathtaking features.
Our LiTRV team can also make reservations at a nearby luxury RV resort, such as Buckhorn Lake Resort in Kerrville, Texas. The pet-friendly resort features a clubhouse with a pool, spa and fitness center, putting green and pickleball courts and easy access to wildflower hotspots.
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, California
Best Time to Visit: Late February to Mid-March
The Anza-Borrego Desert State Park is the largest state park in California and is known for its vast landscape and diverse wildlife. Located about 90 minutes east of San Diego, the park features washes, wildflowers, palm groves, cacti and sweeping vistas. It is home to the Peninsular Bighorn Sheep, roadrunners, desert cottontails, black-tailed jackrabbits, Gambel’s Quail, and a variety of reptiles.
With 92 different plant families and hundreds of flowering species, the park is renowned for its captivating super blooms. During your trip, you can also refer to the park’s interactive map to help you navigate the best views. From desert sunflowers, sand verbena and Dune Evening Primrose to desert lilies, gold poppies, and brittle bush, you’ll be mesmerized by a kaleidoscope of wildflowers following winter rains.
During your visit, allocate some time to explore the quaint town of Borrego Springs, which is the only California town that is completely surrounded by a state park. It is also an official International Dark Sky Community—the first and only one in California—dedicated to protecting the night sky from light pollution. Borrego Springs also offers 300 days of sunshine a year.
Our LiTRV team can also assist with making reservations at nearby luxury RV resorts, such as The Springs at Borrego RV Resort in Borrego Springs. The pet-friendly resort provides spacious motorcoach sites, top-notch amenities and recreational activities, including an on-site golf course, mineral baths, and a resort-style pool and spa.
Columbia River Gorge, Oregon-Washington
Best Time to Visit: Late April to May
Biological diversity is a hallmark of the Columbia River Gorge, which encompasses two natural transitions in its 80-mile length that stretches along the Oregon-Washington border. The Gorge rises in altitude, and its tallest ridgelines exceed 4,000 feet above sea level. There is also a dramatic transition as you travel east to west, moving from arid, near-desert conditions to near-rain-forest conditions in the western Gorge. In the late spring, you’ll find a whirlwind of more than 800 species of wildflowers. Fifteen of these are endemic and are not found anywhere else in the world. From purple lupines, yellow balsamroots and to colorful lilies, orchids and golden Western Buttercups, the Columbia River Gorge is a springtime haven for wildflower enthusiasts.
Before or during your trip, track where you can see the best blooms through the Northwest Wildflowers Map. There are plenty of hiking trails where you can view the striking contrast of colorful flower blooms against the gorge’s dramatic cliffs and waterfalls.
Part of the fun is branching off the main highway and discovering narrow, winding roads and paths within the Gorge. The good news is that, in addition to the large luxury motorcoach, our LiTRV team can support a variety of smaller options. Whether it’s a chauffeured luxury SUV to take your entire group or family, or a few rugged e-bikes for the more adventurous, you can explore parts of the Gorge that are hard to reach.
Our LiTRV team can also explore availability at nearby RV resorts, such as the Lewis & Clark Campground & RV Park in North Bonneville, Washington. Located in the southwestern region of the Columbia River Gorge, the pet-friendly resort features babbling brooks, cascading falls, and beautiful views of the Gorge. The resort is located close to the town of Carson, which features the Carson Hot Springs Spa, the Elk Ridge Golf Course, and local breweries and restaurants.
No matter where you view wildflowers, it’s always a good idea to be prepared for changing weather conditions. Wear comfortable hiking shoes and stay on marked trails to preserve the blooms for future visitors. And while it may be tempting to pick the flowers, you can be fined for doing so in some national parks. Some wildflower hotspots get crowded with other tourists, so be patient or choose to visit during off-peak hours and days, such as during the week instead of a weekend.
Spring is around the corner, and now is the perfect time to plan to see splendid spring wildflowers as you travel in style and comfort.

One of life’s most precious luxuries is spending time with family and friends, particularly over a shared meal. The beauty of traveling in a luxury motorcoach rental is that you have the choice of experiencing new cuisine at a fine restaurant in a city that you are visiting, or you can cook or bake a delicious meal while parked in a scenic location along your journey.
Our LiTRV team rents Class A motorcoaches for vacation adventures, one-way trips, such as a move to another city, and other travel needs. These are the most extravagant RVs on the market, ranging from 39 to 45 feet long. Some people refer to them as “land yachts” since they feature all the comforts of home including the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer and even a dishwasher.
A Closer Look at the Kitchen in a Luxury Motorcoach Rental
Whether you love to experiment with recipes or you’re seeking the most convenient way to get breakfast or dinner on the table, you’ll appreciate having a fully equipped kitchen on the motorcoach.
Unlike a hotel room with a mini-fridge, your luxury motorcoach rental features a full-size, residential-style refrigerator with a freezer. Some of our clients start their trip packing the fridge with fresh produce, meats, beverages and desserts, while others stop and shop along the way.
Class A motorcoaches come equipped with a heat-induction range, featuring two to three burners and a convection microwave, making it easy for you to sauté vegetables, or cook and reheat meals. Induction cooking works by using magnetic induction to directly heat pots and pans, so special cookware is required, such flat-bottomed cast iron, steel, enameled iron, stainless steel and nickel pans. This is a fast, safe, energy-efficient way of cooking, and because less heat is lost in the cooking process, the internal temperature in the motorcoach remains comfortable. Our LiTRV team will make sure the motorcoach rental is equipped with a full range of pots, pans, dishes, plates, cups/glasses, utensils, cooking utensils and small appliances.
Many luxury motorcoaches also feature granite or quartz countertops, making it easy for you to chop vegetables or roll out dough. We recommend pre-chopping vegetables or pre-cooking ingredients to make your meal preparation faster or easier. Also, use stackable containers, collapsible bowls, and magnetic spice racks to maximize storage.
After you’ve enjoyed your meal, you can wash some dishes in the sink, but you also have a dishwasher available, which helps to save time.
Cook or Grill Outside in Your Luxury Motorcoach Rental
If the weather permits, you can also cook outside. Enjoy breakfast while the sun rises or relax with family and friends while you cook dinner under the open sky. Most luxury motorcoaches come with retractable awnings and outdoor entertainment systems, so you can create the perfect ambiance while you cook and dine outdoors. Our LiTRV team can also work with you to create a customized outdoor patio to meet your needs. In addition, some luxury RV resort offers a premier site with an expansive outdoor patio, including a casita, private lot, custom barbecue grills and entertainment areas.
Here are some breakfast and dinner recipes you might want to try in your luxury motorcoach rental, including two vegan options.

There’s a famous Spanish proverb, “With wine and hope, anything is possible.” Romance, rekindling friendships, celebrating with family, or simply sipping and savoring a good wine while watching the sun set…the world seems to slow down as you appreciate a wine’s distinct qualities.
One of the best ways to experience wine is to tour a vineyard. A new study from the Wine Market Council, as reported by The Press Democrat, states that wine tourism is increasing among diverse consumers. And both tourists and club members want more than just a regular wine tasting when visiting wineries. More than 50% of survey respondents said that they want “a variety of tasting experiences,” with 48% expressing an interest in tasting older or rare wines.”
Explore West Coast Wineries in Style
Whether you are a wine connoisseur who seeks to add a noteworthy bottle of wine to your collection, or you enjoy learning about the winemaking process, consider renting a luxury motorcoach so you can explore the exquisite wine regions along the West Coast.
These Class A motorcoaches are the most extravagant RVs on the market, ranging from 39 to 45 feet long. Some people refer to them as a “hotel suite on wheels” since they feature all the comforts of home including the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer and even a dishwasher. And there’s plenty of room to store new bottles of wine safely inside the motorcoach, so you can transport them home yourself and not bother with shipping costs and other logistics.
Let Us Handle the Wine Tour Transportation
Fortunately, when you rent a luxury motorcoach from LiTRV, you can have peace of mind knowing that you’re working with a full-service firm. We help you assess which luxury RV option is best for your family or friends, plan your itinerary, and we can also arrange for a private driver so you can relax, sample multiple wines along your journey, and not worry about a designated driver.
Our professional drivers are committed to your safety, comfort and convenience. And when there’s an overnight stop, we arrange for the driver to stay nearby so you can enjoy your privacy.
Our team of concierge specialists can also make reservations at wineries and arrange for you to stay at nearby luxury RV resorts. For example, you might decide to visit a few wineries in California and then make your way up north to Oregon.
Here are three wineries you may consider visiting:
Premier Wines and Stunning Views
California produces 89% of all U.S. wines. Its long growing season with warm days and cool nights makes for an ideal climate for grapevines. The state also has a diverse range of microclimates, which allows growers to produce a wide variety of wines.
You might start your wine adventure at Justin Vineyards & Winery in Paso Robles in San Luis Obispo County. Surrounded by rolling hills, Paso Robles is known for its vast wineries and olive groves, and it is considered one of California’s best-kept secrets. The award-winning winery produces Bordeaux-style blends that rival the best from Napa Valley. Their flagship wine, “Isosceles,” is a highly awarded blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, and it consistently ranks among the top red wines in the United States.
Justin Vineyards offers several unique ways to experience its wine. You can take an exclusive ATV tour, guided by a wine educator, and enjoy a premium tasting flight of wines while exploring the founder’s estate. Or you can tour the scenic property on a fun, electric bike ride. The winery also offers cave tours and barrel tastings. And, if you love chocolate, you can immerse yourself in a two-hour experience where you can design and paint your own custom truffles. The estate also offers private, by-appointment tastings and tours of their wine cave.
Our LiTRV team can also reserve accommodations at a nearby luxury RV resort, such as Vines RV Resort, a pet-friendly resort that features spacious, fully-equipped motorcoach sites, two pools, a spa, fitness center, general store, and a lounge that features local wines, beer and a billiards table.
Notorious Napa Valley
With more than 400 wineries that produce over 850 different brands, Napa Valley is considered one of the world’s premier wine destinations. With its rich history, breathtaking views that are dotted with castle-like structures and other unique architecture, Napa Valley is responsible for more than $50 billion towards the American economy, according to a 2014 study from the International Wine & Food Society.
After exploring San Luis Obispo, sit back and enjoy a scenic half-day drive north to this beautiful section of California. Depending on how much time you have, we can include stops along the way or drive straight through to Napa Valley.
One exclusive winery worth exploring is Opus One Winery in Oakville, a charming town that could easily be missed with its small population of 71. A collaboration between two wine legends—Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi, Opus One’s single proprietary wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. The wine is prized for its balance, structure, and aging potential, often fetching high prices at auction.
In 2019, abundant spring rains, nearly double the annual average, saturated the soil and provided ample water for the growing season. The Opus One 2019 has intense aromas of black plum, blueberry, black currant, and dried rose petals, accentuated by mineral undertones. The creamy, satiny texture is framed by fine-grained tannins. The freshness and soft glow of acidity create a subtle tension with dark fruit flavors, savory herbs, espresso, and cocoa. A delicate dark chocolate bitterness lingers on the finish.
Wine tastings and experiences are by appointment only and range from tours with a personal Estate Ambassador to a guided tasting of two vintages in the courtyard. Our LiTRV concierge specialist can secure reservations at Opus One Winery and also reserve accommodations at a nearby RV resort, such as Vineyard RV Park in Vacaville, about 45 minutes from Opus One, or Napa Valley Expo RV Park, in Napa, about 20 minutes from the winery. Or, for a more luxurious experience, we can reserve a few nights at a nearby high-end resort and spa, such as the five-star Auberge du Soleil. Our LiTRV private driver can drop you off and pick you up when you are ready to continue your journey.
Venture North to Oregon
Once you have fully explored the beauty of Napa Valley, consider traveling further north about nine hours across the state boundary. While our LiTRV private driver can drive all day, we can recommend stopping along the way so you can stretch out and see some other sights, such as Redding in northern California, where you can stop by Turtle Bay and walk over the famous Sundial Bridge, or Medford in southern Oregon, home of the famous Harry & David pears and other gourmet gifts, or Eugene, a larger city in Oregon along the Willamette River.
Oregon is the third-largest wine region in the country, known for its Pinot Noirs, which are comparable to the famous French wines. The Willamette Valley is a leading wine region in the world, producing award-winning wines and two-thirds of Oregon’s wineries and vineyards. It is particularly known for its Pinot Noir, but also produces other cool-climate grapes like Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Pinot Blanc.
In Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Domaine Serene is synonymous with world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Located in Dayton, the winery’s commitment to quality has earned it numerous awards and critical acclaim, making it a must-visit for any serious wine collector.
Our LiTRV concierge specialist can arrange for a 90-minute visit to the winery’s beautiful tasting room at The Clubhouse at Domaine Serene to enjoy The Estate Tasting while overlooking rolling hills and sweeping vineyard views. The tasting includes a curated selection of five wines from a range of their collections.
Or, if you have a party of four or more, we can arrange for a more intimate experience with a personal Sommelier who will guide you through a flight of limited-production wines in one of the winery’s private spaces. This experience is available on a limited basis and with advance booking only.
Just 15 minutes away is Dundee Hills Resort, a pet-friendly luxury RV resort that also features quaint cottages. Our LiTRV can explore availability here and other nearby resorts.

There’s something special about sitting on a beach, watching and listening to the waves break, and breathing in the fresh, salty air from the ocean. Whether you decide to nap on a beach towel, read a new book, or simply reflect on life in the peacefulness of your surroundings, a luxury beach vacation can be good for your soul.
Fall is the optimal time to plan a relaxing beach vacation. The sun is gentler, the breezes are cooler, and there are more chances to enjoy long stretches of beach in solitude. For a truly unique, splendid experience, consider renting a luxury motorcoach so you can travel safely to your beach destination in comfort and style.
Quiet Beaches Await Your Luxury Beach Vacation
When you rent a luxury motorcoach through LiTRV, our concierge specialists can help you plan a fall getaway to some of the most serene and picturesque beaches in the United States. After Labor Day, temperatures are milder, and crowds disperse, making it the perfect time to enjoy a beach retreat.
Unlike standard RVs, a Class A motorcoach is the most extravagant RV on the market, ranging from 39 to 45 feet long. Much like a luxury hotel suite, they feature all the comforts of home including the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer and even a dishwasher.
We will help you assess which luxury motorcoach rental option is best for you, plan your itinerary, and we’ll arrange for a professional driver so you and your family or friends can enjoy the stunning coastal landscapes along your journey.
Consider Staying at a RV Resort During Your Luxury Beach Vacation
Our LiTRV team can also check availability at luxury RV resorts near beautiful beaches, offering the ultimate in comfort, convenience, and relaxation. Here are some resorts to consider for your luxury beach vacation:
Bluewater Key Luxury RV Resort in Key West, Florida
Located in the heart of the Florida Keys, Bluewater Key Luxury RV Resort is a tropical paradise offering private, spacious lots with tiki huts, outdoor kitchens, and breathtaking waterfront views. Tucked away in a peaceful enclave, the pet-friendly resort features direct access to crystal-clear waters for swimming, snorkeling, and other fun water sports.

Better than glamping, and a lot better than camping, a stay at a luxury RV resort in a luxury motorcoach combines all the elements of outdoor fun in a lavish setting with many of the amenities you might find at a high-end resort.
You don’t need to pitch a tent, and you won’t be whisked away to a yurt, cabin or treehouse. While glamping adventures can be fun, a vacation at a luxury RV resort offers an exceptional experience for those traveling in a Class A motorcoach. And the best part is that you don’t need to own a luxury motorcoach to vacation at a luxury RV resort – you can rent a luxury motorcoach through LiTRV and we will take care of all the travel plans for you.
A Plush “Hotel Suite on Wheels”
You’ve probably seen luxury motorcoaches on the road, or perhaps a neighbor or colleague owns one. These Class A motorcoaches are the most extravagant RVs on the market, ranging from 39 to 45 feet long. Some people refer to them as “land yachts” since they feature all the comforts of home including the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer and even a dishwasher.
Our LiTRV team will help you assess which luxury motorcoach rental option is best for you, plan your itinerary, and we’ll arrange for a private driver so you and your family and friends can relax during the journey.
Want to bring your pets? Not only can they travel comfortably in a luxury motorcoach, but most luxury RV resorts also have dog parks.
Booking Your Stay
You would be surprised at how many luxury RV resorts there are around the country, and the demand keeps growing. Each resort has different options regarding availability for their premier sites, amenities, and policies, so it can be confusing to navigate the booking process. It’s a key reason why LiTRV’s concierge specialists provide this service to our clients.
Premier sites often offer a breathtaking, scenic mountain, lake or ocean view and come complete with spacious patios, stone paver fire pits and lush landscaping.
Some people have the misconception that you must own a luxury motorcoach to stay at a luxury RV resort. While it is true that some RV resorts have rules regarding the age of a motorcoach, if you’re renting through LiTRV, you won’t need to worry about those details. We’ll make sure the motorcoach complies with all the resort’s policies.
A note to motorcoach owners: If you own a luxury motorcoach that is more than 10 years old, our LiTRV team can help you sell it and then assist you with motorcoach rental options so you can continue to visit your favorite luxury RV resorts in comfort and style in a more modern Class A motorcoach rental.
Due to the popularity of luxury RV resorts and limited availability, it’s best to reserve a spot as soon as you know your plans. Our LiTRV team will help you assess premium spots and book your stay, so you have peace of mind knowing that the details are taken care of.
New Luxury RV Resorts Continue to Open
While some luxury RV resorts existed prior to 2020, the onset of the pandemic and the huge interest in RV travel prompted many developers to invest in RV resort properties.
