By no means am I an expert, I’m just a fulltimer myself and will be speaking from experience with the fulltimers that have kiddos and travel.

Now that my disclaimer is out of the way, full time RV families stay in Florida or Texas during the winter months and travel the northern states during the summer months. Spring and fall are where we start slowing moving in the said direction.

For example, if you’re in Florida for winter then early spring you slowly make your way up the east coast to get to Maine for summer. Popular states on the east are anything along the coast. The west doesn’t have set destinations, many boonedock everywhere they can.

While traveling to our next campgrounds, if the drive is long, we stay at large stores who allow us to park after hours. Examples would be Walmart and Bass Pro. Personally, we like to use the Harvest Host membership. Harvest host is where we can stay at a small business. We find it to be a fun adventure vs sketchy Walmart lot. Some Harvest Hosts we’ve stayed at include Tiger Animal Sanctuary , multiple wineries, airforce museum, and gator farm.

In addition, a lot of us with families use the Thousand Trails system. I know the other fulltimers are screaming that I’m mentioning this because the campgrounds are already filled. It is a fight to get a site sometimes but we love our membership. It’s a cheap way to stay all over the country and this is where we find all of our fulltime families to hang with. There’s set campgrounds that are more kid friendly that we choose so we know we have a lot of other fulltime families to hang out with, usually we run into the same families so it’s a community.

Hopefully this clears up some answers that you may have had about full time rving with kiddos. If this helps at all, we’d love support with a cup of coffee so we can feed out caffeine addiction!
