Heading to your favorite campsite with your travel trailer can be an exciting experience, but also boring, especially if you’ve got a long drive ahead of you. To break up the long miles, we’ve provided 3 activities to consider while on the road. Sure, it may add to your travel time, but it might just be worth it.

1. Explore Along the Way

On your way to the campground, you’ll likely pass a number of attractions you can stop and check out. From national parks to museums and even famous eateries, there may be more than a few entertaining stopping points along your route you’ll want to check out. 

As you’re planning your route, check out some of the attractions along the way and flag the ones you’re most interested in. Then, as you’re driving, keep an eye out for anything that may catch your eye and consider making a spontaneous stop. This will also give you the opportunity to make even more memories on your trip.

2. Car Games

There are lots of roadtrip games you can play that involve minimal supplies and are safe to play even for the driver. During your next trip, try I Spy, The Alphabet Game, or one of your family’s own favorite roadtrip games.

3. Podcasts and Music

Cuing up some of your family’s favorite tunes or finding a podcast or audiobook everyone will enjoy is an easy way to fill the time when you’re just driving. Many inexpensive apps will make it easy to create the perfect roadtrip playlist, or have a few books or podcasts ready to go without needing a wi-fi signal.

These are just a few ways to kill time on the road, but there are plenty of others! You’ll know your family best, so find the right combination of activities to pass the time that everyone will love. And if you still need the travel trailer to live in once you reach your destination, stop by The Outpost RV in Middlebury, IN, serving Kalamazoo, MI.
