With many events being cancelled last summer, including festivals, fairs, and sporting events, RVshare travelers are making up for lost time in the summer and fall of 2021 and booking trips to some of their favorite experiences. Many of the top spots our users are visiting are either nearby some of the biggest festivals (Bonnaroo anyone?) or at campgrounds that host events onsite. People are starting to feel more comfortable getting back out into the world, and there’s no better way to travel to your preferred festival or sporting event than in an RV rental.
So what are some of these highly sought after locations and events? RVers are traveling all over the country to get in on the fun. From the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama to the Gorge Amphitheater in Washington and everywhere in between, events have returned to our lives and people are ready to join the party. Even if some from this list have already passed, it’s never too soon to start planning for next year!

Now entering its 14th year, the Rocklahoma music festival features some of the top names in hard rock music, as well as 1980s-era classic rock and metal bands. The world’s largest rock festival, Rocklahoma, includes high-energy acts, the sound of thrashing guitars, and roaring vocals.
Bonnaroo | Cancelled for 2021
Sadly, this iconic event had to be cancelled at the last minute due to weather. But typically, each year Bonnaroo descends on an otherwise quiet farm in Manchester, Tennessee, touting itself as more than a music festival — but a whole way of life. The Bonnaroo experience combines world-class live entertainment with a dizzying array of arts, food, and other activities, all under a constant atmosphere of radical inclusivity and a commitment to sustainable social initiatives.
Imagine Music Festival | Cancelled for 2021
The Imagine Festival is an eclectic blend of electronic digital music, yoga workshops, circus acts, aquatic themes, and quirky antics that takes place at Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia. The camping village is not just a place for attendees to park their RVs and escape to their tents but has been incorporated into the festival in a truly immersive way. After-parties, wellness workshops, and interactive games are all held in and around the campers after the main festival events are over for the day.
Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park & campground, FL
The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park and Campground is an 800-acre campground located on the historic banks of the Suwannee River. Enjoy boating, canoeing or kayaking with an on-site boat launch. If you prefer hikes you’ll be blown away by the cypress trees lining the trails. When there aren’t music festivals happening you can unwind with fishing, disc golf, bicycling and more.
Gorge Amphitheater, WA
The Gorge Amphitheater is an outdoor concert venue that features some of the biggest performers. This year Dave Matthews Band, Kiss, the Lumineers and more are on the lineup. The Gorge is considered one of the most scenic concert locations in the world and offers onsite camping.
Talladega Superspeedway, AL
The Talladega Superspeedway is a motorsports complex located north of Talladega, Alabama. NASCAR fans from around the world make their way to this famous speedway to watch the races, camp out, tailgate and even enjoy a garage experience, where they can look into the garage as cars are prepped for the race.
Bristol Speedway, Bristol, TN
Racing fans are no strangers to the Bristol Speedway. In September the Bristol Speedway will host the NASCAR Xfinity Series and the NASCAR Cup Series, plus the Sparco Fall Fling with the best bracket racers in the country competing in drag racing for some major payouts.
Penn State, State College, PA
Tailgating at sporting events is one of our favorite ways to RV, and apparently it is for our renters as well! Whether you’re going to the game or just want to be nearby with fellow fans, an RV takes tailgating to the next level. Grill up some burgers and enjoy a cozy space indoors when you need it (plus your own personal bathroom).
Blueridge Country Festival | October 1-3, 2021
Country music lovers flock to the Blueridge Country Festival. This year’s lineup includes Toby Keith, Darius Rucker, Chase Rice and many more top names in the industry! But this festival goes beyond the music and there is plenty of other fun to be had, from axe throwing to mechanical bull rides. RV camping is available, but there are no hookups.
Country Thunder | July 15-18, 2021
Country Thunder is filled with great music, food, and drinks. Need a break from the concerts? Go for a walk around the festival grounds to discover everything the event has to offer. The food court is a great place to grab a snack or a meal. Country Thunder 2021 is packed with exciting country music acts, including headliners like Dustin Lynch, Eric Church, Kane Brown, and Blake Shelton.
Have you ever considered renting an RV to attend one of your favorite events? Even if you missed out on some of these events this year, there’s plenty left to do that would be the perfect opportunity to rent an RV. Tailgating, NASCAR, and holiday festivals are here and we can’t wait to see where you travel next.
