Your honeymoon might not be the first trip you take together as a couple, but it might be one of the most memorable. It should be a time to relax, explore, enjoy each other’s company, and plan for your married life.
What better way to do that than on a road trip? In this article, we’ll discuss the benefits of taking a honeymoon campervan trip and some of our favorite destinations, which are sure to make for amazing memories and stories you can tell for years to come!

South Central Alaska
An eight-day Alaskan road trip is an incredible way to see some wild, rugged places and experience some amazing local culture and history. Depending on the time of year, you can see wildflowers blooming, beautiful snowed-in mountain scenery, or swim in mountain lakes and hike to spectacular peaks.
We recommend starting in Fairbanks and spending a day or two exploring the city and Alaska’s Arctic, which can be seen through tour companies. From there, head out to Chena Hot Springs, and then on to the Copper River Valley. Spend a relaxing day in slow-paced McCarthy, where the population is only around 28 people, then head to Valdez and take the ferry to finish up in Anchorage.
Yellowstone National Park
When it comes to jaw-dropping scenery, it doesn’t get much better than Yellowstone. Even if you’ve been before, it’s always good for a re-visit; if you haven’t, experiencing it for the first time with someone you love is magical.
One of our favorite Yellowstone road trips starts in Denver and takes you through the Rocky Mountains, wide-open Wyoming, and Grand Teton. You’ll spot incredible wildlife like bears and bison and take in some of the most beautiful scenery and fascinating history this country has to offer.
Extend Your Honeymoon… Indefinitely!
Who says your honeymoon has to have an end date?
If you’re reading this article, you’ve heard of #vanlife. Our founder, David, traveled for over two years when he got married and often joked about how the first two years were a never-ending honeymoon. He traveled across the country in a self-converted campervan before finally settling down to have his son, Summit.
In all honesty, the two years on the road probably cost just as much as a two-week “traditional” honeymoon! It was an unforgettable experience that never would have happened if he hadn’t opted for an alternative lifestyle.
Planning Your Campervan Honeymoon Road Trip
Your honeymoon campervan trip can be as adventurous or as laid-back as you like. That’s the beauty of this type of honeymoon: you get to do it exactly how you want to.
Give yourself a few days’ buffer on either end to make sure the trip is as stress-free as possible, and then enjoy the slow pace and easygoing fun as you Find Your Outside™ during the first adventure of your married life!
