Watershed Festival — George, Washington (August 2-4)

Did you get the gag? This town named in honor of our first president is a small spot that becomes a really big deal in the first part of August. That’s because thousands of people descend for this camping and country music extravaganza that sees some of Country’s biggest acts like Keith Urban, Luke Bryan, and Carly Pearce.

RV camping is abundant at Watershed Festival, and many of the spots are big rig-friendly. This is also one of the rare festivals that features full-hookup RV spots right on the festival grounds.

But no matter where you park your camper at this fest, you’ll be guaranteed to keep the hangout rolling long after the last notes have strummed.

Outside Lands — San Francisco, California (August 9-11)

Let’s state the obvious first — because Outside Lands Festival is hosted right in Golden Gate Park, you won’t be able to camp right at the concert itself. But, the SF area has so many solid RV camping options and this festival is just so cool that we had to mention it.

The San Francisco RV Resort is one of many campgrounds that’ll put you in range of this festival.

Now that we’ve covered that — Outside Lands is an annual extravaganza that brings together music, food, and art in the heart of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. This festival showcases a diverse range of genres, including indie, rock, hip-hop, and electronic music.

Josh and his wife traveled around the country in an '88 Airstream for 4+ years of full-time RVing. They made an unexpected pitstop in Montana in 2020 and haven't left since. That's because they got hooked on the glamping resort they run by Glacier National Park. Fittingly, they keep up their RVing love by renting out vintage Airstreams and other retro RVs to travelers hitting Montana.
