RV and bus owners share the best isolated destinations they've discovered while traveling across the US

  • Domestic travel is on the rise this summer, which means packed campsites and RV parks.
  • But that doesn't have to be the case. Across the US, expanses of land can be explored without ever coming in contact with another human being.
  • Insider spoke to couples living in converted school buses and RVs to learn the most isolated spots they've visited along their journey.
  • Their lists included sandy beaches in Maryland, red mountains in Utah, and stargazing in South Dakota.

When Will and Kristin Wason reach an isolated spot in their livable school bus, they become kids in a candy shop.

The drone comes out, the grill gets lit, and their daughter and dog roam free.

But isolated takes on a new meaning as lockdown restrictions lift and people consider traveling again. The US has seen an uptick in domestic travel, and people have reported that they're more likely to take a road trip than get on a plane this summer in an effort to avoid large crowds.

Like Will and Kristin, there's a population of people already equipped for those adventures — people living on the road.

Will, Kristin, their daughter Roam, and their dog Rush form the family behind Number Juan Bus.

The couple went on a road trip across California's coast in 2014 and were set on living life on the road. In April of 2019, the family finished renovating a school bus and set out to explore the country.

Kristin and Will have traveled across the US and Canada and explored some of the continent's best destinations. Along the way, they've discovered some isolated gems.

Adam and Destiny Clayton also have a similar love for empty, expansive destinations. The couple has lived in their 180-square-foot RV for almost a year and a half. They moved into the RV with their dog Brew at the beginning of 2019 after living in a renovated school bus for a few months.

Countless destinations later, they, too, have a few favorite places for people living on the road.

"You don't realize there's so much diversity in your own backyard in the United States," Destiny told Insider.

Both couples shared with Insider some of the most remote locations they've explored.
