RVing with Friends and Family: Group Camping Tips
Making Memories Together — Supported by Beach Truck and RV Service Center

RVing is an amazing way to connect with friends and family, sharing adventures and creating lasting memories under the open sky. Traveling as a group can be a blast, but it also takes a little extra planning to keep everyone happy and the trip running smoothly.

At Beach Truck and RV Service Center, we know group RV trips are some of the most rewarding experiences — and we’re here with tips to help you get the most out of your group camping adventure.

Plan Ahead: Communication is Key

• Coordinate early: Choose dates and locations that work for everyone.
• Assign roles: Divide responsibilities like meal prep, campsite setup, and cleanup.
• Use group apps: Messaging apps or shared calendars help keep plans clear.

Choose the Right RVs and Campsites

• Match RV types: Try to pick rigs with similar capabilities or sizes to streamline travel.
• Reserve group-friendly campsites: Look for sites with enough space and amenities for multiple RVs and group activities.
• Consider hookups and facilities: Make sure the campground can accommodate your group’s needs (electric, water, sewer).

Meal Planning and Cooking

• Share the load: Plan group meals but assign cooks for each day.
• Cook together: Host communal dinners like BBQs or potlucks to build camaraderie.
• Pack extra gear: Bring portable grills, outdoor tables, and utensils for big groups.

Activities for Everyone

• Plan group outings: Hiking, fishing, kayaking, or sightseeing — tailor activities to all ages and interests.
• Set aside free time: Allow downtime for personal rest or exploring.
• Bring games: Lawn games, board games, and cards are perfect for evenings around the campfire.

RV Prep for Group Travel at Beach Truck and RV Service Center

• Service your RV before hitting the road: Our technicians can ensure your rig is in top shape to handle the trip.
• Towing checks: If traveling with trailers or tow vehicles, get hitch and brake inspections.
• Emergency gear: Stock up on first aid kits, spare tires, and tools for all rigs in your group.

On the Road: Safety and Driving Tips

• Drive in convoy: Use walkie-talkies or phone apps to stay in touch between vehicles.
• Follow speed limits: Keep a safe pace and space to avoid accidents.
• Plan stops together: Schedule fuel, rest, and meal breaks at convenient locations.
