The Dyrt, a U.S.-based camping and RV app, has released a series of road trip guides highlighting notable routes across the country, along with recommended campgrounds. The guides are designed to assist travelers in planning multi-day trips while providing information relevant to camping and RV stays.
Each guide includes a brief history of the route, key facts, recommended trip duration, and the optimal times of year for travel. There are seven guides in total, each featuring ten highly rated campgrounds.
The routes covered include the Atlantic Coast Highway from Cape May, New Jersey, to Key West, Florida; the Great Northern from Bar Harbor, Maine, to Seattle, Washington; the Loneliest Road from Annapolis, Maryland, to West Sacramento, California; the Oregon Trail from Independence, Missouri, to Oregon City, Oregon; the Pacific Coast Highway from Port Angeles, Washington, to San Diego, California; Route 66 from Chicago, Illinois, to Santa Monica, California; and the TransAmerica Trail from Port Orford, Oregon, to Yorktown, Virginia.
“There are so many iconic road trips to be taken and amazing camping properties in this vast country of ours,” said Kevin Long, CEO of The Dyrt. “We wanted to combine these two delicious slices of Americana — the best camping stays while traversing the renowned roads of the U.S. Each guide breaks the trips down into sections and highlights the best places to pitch your tent or park your rig along the way.”
The Route 66 guide illustrates how the guides provide detailed planning support. Covering a distance of 2,448 miles from Chicago to Santa Monica, the recommended trip time is two to four weeks, preferably in May-June or September-October.
The guide identifies landmarks, museums, and restaurants, while noting transitions from farmland and small towns to plains, high desert plateaus, and finally the Pacific coastline. “Many travelers in The Dyrt Community use Route 66 for long camping trips because it pairs history with steady access to parks and public land,” the guide notes.
Each guide contains photos, suggested hikes and attractions, links to articles, and campground information.
Additional planning resources include fuel and service details, seasonal considerations, connectivity, budget information, state Department of Transportation resources, Bureau of Land Management camping guidelines, and Leave No Trace principles.
For RV operators and campground managers, this level of detail may provide insight into traveler preferences, seasonal demand patterns, and key infrastructure needs along major routes.
Subscribers to The Dyrt PRO can access information on all U.S. campgrounds and RV parks, including the Free Camping Collection and the RV Trip Planner, which may inform business decisions regarding marketing, facility improvements, or partnerships.
