For those of us who define “roughing it” as packing our own road-trip food until we arrive at our hotel, camping has never held much appeal. “Glamping” in an RV, on the other hand, seems like a great compromise: Enjoy the beauties of nature without giving up hot showers, electricity and indoor toilets.
If you’ve been considering an RV glamping trip but have been deterred by high gas prices, your dream vacation doesn’t have to be put on hold. This is 2022, and everything can be delivered — even an RV.
That means your RV comes without you needing to drive it, fill it up or figure out how to set it up, thanks to RVshare’s delivery option.

How to go glamping with an RV delivery
Just go the RVshare site, enter your destination, select your RV, and the home-away-from home will be delivered to the site and all set up for you. After all, glamping is all about relaxation!
With RV delivery, you can:
- Explore all the sites near your home that you’ve been promising yourself
you’d get to one day. - Visit out-of-town family and friends while having your accommodations
delivered to you. - Add an RV glamping experience to a trip you already have planned.
Is it expensive to rent an RV?
Having an RV delivered saves on gas prices, but what’s the rental cost for the RV itself? Since you’re having the RV delivered, a “fifth wheel” type of RV (the kind that’s towed behind another vehicle) probably makes the most sense because you’re not going to be driving it. According to RVshare, this type of RV runs $60 to $150 per night for vehicles 10 or more years old and $150-$300 per night for newer RVs.
Also, delivery fees are extra and can vary widely, but they’re clearly stated on the RVshare site. Most providers offer delivery for a flat fee within a certain radius. The most common distance seemed to be about 50 miles round-trip.
To save even more, use these tips when searching for a rental:
Here are some tips from RVshare about how to get the best RV rental deals:
- Be flexible with dates
- Compare delivery fees to find the best overall price; it may not be the rental with the cheapest
per-night rate - Avoid holidays and peak seasons
- Negotiate with owners on rates
- Rent longer for cheaper nightly rates
- Don’t get a bigger RV than you need

Ideas for glamping trips in popular spots
The RVshare blog has suggestions for glamping in all 50 states. Here are a few highlights for popular summer vacation destinations:
Florida
Fort Wilderness fun at Disney:There’s another kind of magic to the Magic Kingdom when you have an RV delivered to Disney’s Fort Wilderness resort. Just reserve online at RVshare and zip-a-dee-doo-dah, your rented RV will be delivered and you’ll be ready to enjoy woodland trails, refreshing pool areas and family entertainment at this glamping retreat.
The best of both worlds:At Fisherman’s Cove Resort, nature lovers can enjoy shaded walks, spectacular Gulf Coast sunsets and fabulous fishing. When you’re ready for excitement, you’re about 30 minutes away from the adventure and activities of downtown St. Petersburg, Bradenton, Sarasota, Anna Maria Island and Tampa.
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Sixty miles of sun and fun:On South Carolina’s Grand Strand, Myrtle Beach is known for beaches (of course), but also its golf courses, restaurants and entertainment — including the famous SkyWheel.
Just a mile from the beach, the Briarcliffe RV Resort on the Intracoastal Waterway offers a quiet getaway. Secluded doesn’t mean sleepy, however. A highlight is the oversized Olympic swimming pool with cool deck and lounges overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway. Outdoor activities include an 18-hole miniature golf course, shuffleboard, basketball court and a youth playground.
One of The Grand Strands newest RV parks, Carolina Pines RV Resort is located in Conway, a few miles away from the hustle and bustle of Myrtle Beach. Carolina Pines RV Resort sites are spacious and well maintained.
Barefoot RV Resort is a family-operated and gated resort in North Myrtle Beach. Sites include picnic tables, fire pits, and free Wi-Fi. Pets and golf carts are also welcome. Enjoy all of the fun of camping while being just a golf cart ride to the beach or Barefoot Landing.

For owners: RVshare as a second income
If you already own an RV, you could turn it into a second income instead of letting it languish in your driveway. RVshare provides RV owners in North America the opportunity to turn their RV into a second income by connecting travelers looking for an RV rental with owners not actively using their motorhome.
Most RVs are used only two weeks out of the year; you could be using those other weeks to generate revenue on an otherwise unused vehicle.
Here are some benefits for owners participating in RVshare:
Make money when your vehicle would otherwise be sitting unused
List for free and earn up to $40,000 per year
Get maximum exposure with RVshare’s reach of millions of renters per year
Renter verification and insurance coverage included from the most trusted RV rental insurance company
RVshare rental insurance is offered at no cost and owners are provided $1,000,000 in liability coverage as well as comprehensive and collision coverage for the value of their RV up to $200,000
