The Last Big Trip of Summer

Labor Day weekend is the summer's last long one, and it always goes faster than you expect. Three days, one full tank, and everybody in the same place before school and fall schedules take over. Here's how to make it count, and why now is the moment to lock it in.

The Point of the Weekend

Seven Ways to Actually Rest and Recharge

A couple relaxing outside their campervan on a late-summer afternoon

Labor Day exists to give working people a day back. Somewhere along the way it turned into the busiest travel weekend of the year, which is exactly why it's worth spending yours doing very little. Four of our favorite ways to recharge on the road:

Get Outside First Thing

Twenty minutes outdoors can give you about as much energy as a cup of coffee. Step out of the rig before you check anything, and let the morning do the work.

Disconnect on Purpose

Time in nature measurably lowers stress, but not with a phone in your hand. Put it in a drawer for the afternoon. The work email will still be there Tuesday.

Take the Nap

String a hammock between two trees and close your eyes. A late-summer breeze and an hour with nowhere to be is the whole point of a long weekend.

Bring the Book You Keep Not Reading

The one that's been on the nightstand since June. Find a chair in the shade and give it the afternoon it's been waiting for.

Send Summer Off Right

Make It Feel Like the Whole Summer

Friends around a campfire outside an RV at dusk

Nobody remembers the mileage. They remember the last swim of the year and the night everyone stayed up too late. Four small things that turn a long weekend into the one people bring up all winter:

Cook One Real Meal Outside

Not hot dogs on night three. Pick one dinner worth the effort, cook it over the fire, and let it take the whole evening.

Keep One Day Empty

Plan two days, leave the third open. The unscheduled one is almost always the one everybody talks about later.

Bring More People Than Usual

Cousins, neighbors, the friends you keep meaning to see. Most rigs sleep more than you think, and shared trips get cheaper per head.

Stay Through Monday

Most campgrounds clear out Monday morning. Take the late checkout, have a slow breakfast, and drive home in the quiet.

Find a Campground

Where to Go Next

Explore the National Parks

Bluest water in the country, or waterfalls a few hours from home.

Plan It Your Way

Rentals That Fit Your Trip

Drive one way, or let us match you to the right rig.
