The Ultimate Father’s Day Weekend in the Great Outdoors

With the month of June upon us, the promise of warm breezes, lush green trails, and unforgettable family memories abound. This year, the weekend of June 14–15, 2025, offers a rare and exciting trio of celebrations that align perfectly for anyone with a love for the open road, fresh air, and fatherhood.

Saturday, June 14, marks not just one, but two national celebrations: National Go RVing Day and National Get Outdoors Day. Then on Sunday, June 15, we come together to honor Father’s Day. The result is a triple-treat weekend tailored just for dads and families who crave the thrill of the outdoors, the comfort of RV travel, and the serenity that only nature can provide.

Why Saturday, June 14th is Perfect for RVers and Outdoor Enthusiasts

RVing isn’t just a way to travel—it’s a lifestyle. National Go RVing Day encourages people to hit the road and embrace the freedom of RV travel and the joys of exploring nature. Whether you own a motorhome or rent a camper van for the weekend, this day is all about exploring the roads less traveled and waking up to mountain views, lakeside sunrises, or salty beach air. If you share your adventures to social media, tag your posts with #NationalGoRVingDay and connect with the outdoorsy, RVing community.

Pair that with National Get Outdoors Day–when entrance fees to all national forests are waived!–and you have the perfect invitation to park your RV in a stunning natural setting and explore places like Coconino National Forest, Pisgah National Forest, or White Mountain National Forest for free. 

Turning Father’s Day on Sunday, June 15th into an Outdoor Retreat

Now add Father’s Day into the mix. Instead of brunch reservations or new socks, why not give Dad the gift of peace, adventure, and quality time? This year, celebrate Father’s Day by letting Dad relax under the stars, grill at the campsite, or lead a hike through a favorite national park trail. Whether he’s an experienced outdoorsman or just loves the occasional campfire and a good view, this weekend offers a rare chance to help Dad disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with what matters most: family and nature.

How to Make the Most of the Weekend

Here’s how you can build an unforgettable weekend:

• Plan Your Route – Choose a national forest or scenic RV destination within a reasonable driving distance from home. This exciting weekend could be a popular one for campgrounds and parks, and spots may be limited, so plan ahead.
• Pack Thoughtfully – Bring the gear for hiking, kayaking, or just lounging by a lake. And don’t forget Dad’s favorite campfire snacks or local craft beer.
• Unplug and Unwind – Commit to putting the phones down. Let this weekend be about experience over agenda.

A Weekend That’s More Than a Vacation

June 14 and 15, 2025, presents a rare chance to combine the freedom of RV travel, the beauty of the American outdoors, and the celebration of dads everywhere into one memorable adventure. Whether you’re cruising down scenic highways or stargazing by a quiet fire, this weekend offers something for every kind of explorer, especially the dads who deserve a break and a breath of fresh air.
