It's National Plan Your Vacation Month; Learn How Booking Early is Key to the Perfect RV Getaway

It's February which means it's time to celebrate National Plan Your Vacation Month—and for RV enthusiasts, it’s the perfect opportunity to secure your spot for your next adventure. Whether you're planning a family getaway or seeking a peaceful solo retreat, pre-planning your vacation ensures you don't miss out on the best RV destinations. After all, the earlier you book, the more choices you'll have—and there’s no better time to lock in your dream getaway! 

Why Pre-Booking is Crucial: 

It may feel like a long way off, but 2026 is just around the corner! Roots Management Group recently released the booking feature for 2026 making it simple to book early! Booking early not only guarantees the dates you want, but it also gives you access to the best space options. Many top RV communities sell out quickly, especially during peak season, leaving travelers scrambling for last-minute accommodations. But by securing your reservation early, you ensure that you’ll have a smooth and stress-free vacation. 

"Waiting too long could cause a disruption in your desired length of stay and site type," says Dalton Lee, who, alongside Nicole Cowdrey, oversees all of the RV communities at Roots Management Group. 

Dalton’s point is a valid one. The most popular RV destinations can get booked months in advance, particularly during the February through April pre-booking period. RV travel is more popular than ever, and as more people discover the joy of the open road, many top-rated sites become difficult to snag unless you plan ahead.

• Parkhaven Estates: Known for its tranquility and proximity to attractions that are off the beaten path. 

"By booking early, you’ll be able to select the exact site you want, whether it’s a waterfront spot or one with extra space for your rig". Adds Cowdrey.  

The Power of Early Booking: 

What’s the big deal with booking during the pre-booking period, especially between February and April? It’s simple: availability. As more RV shows take place and excitement builds about RV travel, people from all over the country are making their plans. RV shows, often attended by seasoned travelers as well as first-time buyers, provide great opportunities to get special early bird rates and incentives, making it a prime time for those looking to lock in their reservations for 2026. 

As Nicole notes, RV shows are the "perfect opportunity for anyone just getting into the RV world, as well as for seasoned experts who know that the best sites and peak season go so fast!" 

According to the RV Industry Association, 2023 was a record-breaking year for RV sales and travel, with RV shipments exceeding 500,000 units. Additionally, 41 million Americans are expected to take an RV trip in 2025, showing a significant rise in the number of RV enthusiasts across the nation. As RV travel continues to surge in popularity, early reservations at top-rated destinations are essential. 

Peak season for RV travel is typically from late spring through early fall, with the busiest months being June, July, and August. However, prime sites in desirable locations often book up as early as the pre-booking period, which makes February through April the optimal time to secure your spot before the rush. 

Incentives and Early Bird Rates: 

Incentives play a big role in encouraging travelers to plan ahead, especially for those new to the RV community. RV shows, which take place during this time of year, often offer special rates and promotions that can make your booking even more enticing. These deals allow you to stretch your vacation budget further while ensuring you get the best site available. 

Dalton Lee and Nicole Cowdry's advice to book early for the best experience couldn’t be timelier. By securing your reservation now, you give yourself the gift of choice: whether it’s an RV site with stunning views, close proximity to popular attractions, or access to the amenities you love. Plus, you’ll avoid the hassle of scrambling to find available spots when peak season rolls around.
