Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to stay at a campground or RV park?
A stay at an RV park will usually cost around $25–80 (USD) per night.
The cost of campgrounds has risen in recent years due to the popularity of RV vacations in the USA.
Does my motorhome come with unlimited mileage?
The majority of campervan hire suppliers in the US do not include unlimited miles as a standard hire inclusion.
In most cases, miles are charged per mile or via prepaid mileage packs (for example, 100-mile packs), and additional fees will apply if you exceed what you’ve purchased/allowed. Refund rules vary by supplier—some refund unused estimated mileage deposits, while others do not refund unused prepaid miles. Some suppliers do include unlimited miles as standard.

Where can I camp in Seattle? Is free camping allowed?
As with the rest of America, free camping is only allowed in designated areas, which can include national parks, truck stops or rest stops as well as certain parking lots with permission from the store manager.
Seattle is home to many campgrounds, most of which are a short distance from downtown Seattle. A night at an RV park will usually cost between $12-50 (USD).
Some popular choices include Lake Pleasant RV Park, KOA Campground and the Fay Bainbridge Park.
Can I travel from the US to Canada in my hired motorhome?
This depends on the company. Several suppliers will allow you to travel to Canada in your hire vehicle, including Road Bear, El Monte, Cruise America, Escape Rentals, Campervan North America and Travellers Autobarn (Canada entry fee applies).
Please contact support for information on other suppliers. You must comply with visa and customs requirements at all times.
