Going on an RV trip with your children provides a memorable experience that will expose your kids to different places and offer family bonding time. However, traveling in a camper can also come with challenges for little ones. Here's how to keep your RV trip fun and rewarding for the entire family.

How to Make an RV Trip Kid-Friendly

1. Reduce Travel Times

Driving can become monotonous and uncomfortable after several hours, leading to some crankiness. Try to keep traveling to less than four hours a day. Make small stops along the way for bathroom breaks, snack time, or to take in the scenery. You should also plan overnight stays at RV parks and campsites to refresh.

2. Create a Play Area

Creating a space for the children to play can keep the trip fun and relaxing. Inside the camper, consider board games or pen and paper activities. Movies can also keep the kids entertained for a couple of hours at a time. 

During stops, consider creating an outdoor play space or picnic area. Large blankets can be put down for the children and adults to sit on, share food, and play games together. 

3. Involve the Children in Planning

Above all else, family trips should be fun. When deciding on destinations and stops, speak to your kids about possible locations. Involving them in these choices can get them looking forward to the trip. You can also prepare your children by letting them know how long you plan to drive each day and what spaces in the camper are for them.
