Staying at an age-restricted RV resort is something that many retirees dream of when they get ready to hit the road in their RVs. Senior RV parks — sometimes called active lifestyle resorts — cater to the 55 and older crowd. Some of these luxury RV resorts turn a vacation into an adventure because they offer guests more than a traditional RV park. Most senior RV resorts have on-site amenities such as resort-style pools and spas, and many of these resorts have golf and other active-lifestyle activities either on the property or nearby. If you are 55 and older and you hope to find an RV park that’s more than a place to park your rig, check out some of the top-rated senior RV parks in the country.
