Recreational
Vehicles (RV's)
America’s public lands
not only provide the
scenic beauty that
Recreational Vehicle
(RVs) enthusiasts seek,
but may include RV-ready
campgrounds and sanitary
pump-out stations as
well as hook-ups. Also,
look for special RV
parking sites at many
public recreation sites.
Hours, fees and seasonal
restrictions may vary
from site to site.
For detailed information
on RVing at a particular
site, please contact
that site directly.

do we mean by Recreational
Vehicles or RV's?
RecML, the
recreation standard
that is being developed,
describes RV's as:
vehicles designed for
providing lodging and
meals while enjoying
the outdoors, motor

Practice
Good Stewardship of
our Public Lands:
You can help to
take good care of our
public lands so that
others may enjoy
these areas for years
to come by practicing
some of the following
actions:
Don't
Litter... take along
a trash bag or other
receptacle for collecting
your trash so that
you can deposit it
in the proper trash
receptacle.
Make sure that your
Recreational Vehicle
or RV is permitted...
some parks and camping
areas have length restrictions
on motor homes and
RV's. Check with your
destination ahead of
time for any restrictions.
Don't
park your RV in areas
where you are not permitted.
These areas have been
declared "off
limits" to RV's
to protect wildlife,
vegetation, or for
your safety.
