Summertime is the best time of the year to take your home on wheels across the country and take in all of the sights possible. Fortunately, there are many places to park your RV, however, some places can be better than others. In addition to having a nice view, it’s important for an RV park to be well-equipped with the amenities that you need.

Reader’s Digest recently put together a list of “The Best RV Parks in Every State,” so we decided to share five of the best ones on that list. Of course, if you happen to be in the neighborhood of any of the others on the list, then you know you’ll be in good hands.

According to the park’s website, you can “enjoy a majestic shoreline anchored by 30-foot, snow-white sand dunes. But if that’s not enough to lure you in, then maybe you’ll like the hiking trails, boardwalks, and picnic areas that the park also has to offer.
