As the world’s largest soccer tournament descends upon North America, fans are seeking creative lodging solutions to avoid skyrocketing hotel prices in host cities across the United States and Canada like Los Angeles, Seattle, Miami, Philadelphia, Boston, and Vancouver.
By choosing an RV resort, fans can trade cramped, expensive big cities for the open air of the Pacific Northwest or the sunny skies of Southern California. For those looking to stay outside the main cities but close enough to catch the action, the appeal of camping during the tournament extends beyond cost savings. Many sites offer glamping options, including cottages and yurt rentals, which provide the conveniences of a hotel with more room to relax between matches. This flexibility is particularly valuable for those following their teams across the country, as the proximity to major highways simplifies the transition between host regions.
Campground resorts are not just a place to sleep, but a vibrant community atmosphere that can enhance the tournament experience. The true value of staying at these resorts during such a massive international event is the unique sense of camaraderie. Unlike the isolated experience of a hotel room, campgrounds can foster an environment where fans can host their own “tailgate” events right at their campsites. The shared amenities from swimming pools to volleyball courts to game rooms can naturally bring people together, creating a melting pot of cultures united by soccer.
Thousand Trails created an interactive soccer getaway map to share its network of campgrounds and RV resorts located within easy driving distance of key venues. Whether you are a die-hard supporter or a casual fan, campgrounds options offer a unique way to experience the excitement while enjoying the natural beauty of the host regions. Here are some great options:
For those attending matches at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Soledad Canyon provides a perfect mountain retreat within driving distance of the action. This location allows fans to escape the urban congestion of Southern California after a high-energy match. The resort features large swimming pools and expansive picnic areas, ideal for post-game celebrations. On match days, the communal fire pits and clubhouses become natural hubs where fans can gather to discuss plays and share the excitement of the day’s results.
In the Pacific Northwest, fans heading to Seattle’s Lumen Field can set up camp at Thousand Trails Thunderbird. Located in the lush greenery of the Monroe area, this campground offers a serene contrast to the intense atmosphere of the stadium. It features mini-golf and river access, providing plenty of recreation for families between match dates. The camaraderie here is a significant draw; the shared kitchen facilities and outdoor pavilions encourage a “fan zone” vibe where visitors can bond over grilled food and a shared passion for the sport.
Soccer enthusiasts traveling to the San Francisco Bay Area for games at Levi’s Stadium have two great options. San Francisco RV Resort sits on the cliffs of Pacifica, offering breathtaking ocean views and easy access to the city’s public transit. Meanwhile, Marina Dunes RV Resort provides a coastal dunes experience that is second to none. Both locations offer high-speed Wi-Fi, ensuring that fans can stream matches and keep up with tournament statistics.
On the East Coast, the tournament’s reach extends to historic cities like Boston and Philadelphia. Thousand Trails Sturbridge in Massachusetts and Spring Gulch in Pennsylvania serve as excellent hubs for these regions. Spring Gulch, located in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country, offers a sprawling landscape with a swimming lake and tennis courts. These campgrounds are ideal for fans who are following the tournament’s progression through the knockout stages. The ability to park an RV or rent a luxury cottage means fans can maintain a consistent “home base” rather than hopping between expensive city hotels.
