11 Accessible Good Sam Parks for Disabled Travelers

Traveling in RVs that are modified to meet physical challenges, road warriors with disabilities are hitting the highways in large numbers. In turn, RV parks across North America welcome these nomads with more and more accessible environments.

To honor the International Day of Persons With Disabilities, December 3, we’re recognizing 11 Good Sam Parks that have gone the extra mile to welcome guests with mobility issues. These parks have been evaluated for ease-of-access by RVing Accessibility Group, an organization that promotes camping and RV travel for people of all abilities.

Many parks and campgrounds on this list have embraced the the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to create more ramps, power doors, more paved areas and even special sites designated exclusively for disabled users.
