Grandymoons: The Travel Trend Bringing Families Together
As we celebrate Grandparents Day, it feels fitting to spotlight a trend that’s capturing hearts across the country: the Grandymoon.
A Grandymoon is a multi-generational RV adventure where families hit the road with their grandparents, exploring new destinations and making memories together. At Blue Water, we’ve seen this momentum firsthand across our RV resorts, and the stories are moving. Grandparents teaching grandkids how to fish, families roasting marshmallows under the stars, kids hearing tales of “when your mom and dad were your age.” These simple but profound moments become part of a family’s legacy.
The timing is no coincidence. In 2025, families are seeking more than just a vacation; they’re craving connection, value, and flexibility. AARP reports that nearly half of grandparents in the U.S. have traveled with their grandchildren in the last five years, and interest in multi-generational trips continues to rise. RV travel makes that possible in a way few other forms of travel can. It’s flexible, allowing families to set their own routes and pace. It’s comfortable, with modern resorts offering pools, playgrounds, and community spaces for all ages. And it’s affordable, often delivering more value than traditional flights and hotels, especially for larger groups.
Grandymoons work beautifully because there’s something for everyone - RV sites for those who love the journey, and cabins or cottages for those who prefer extra comfort. It’s all about bringing the family together, no matter how they like to stay.
From an outdoor hospitality perspective, the right RV resorts take the experience to the next level. Accessibility for seniors, kid-friendly activities, and spaces designed for gathering make these trips easier and more meaningful. As Rafael "Rafo" Correa, President & CFO of Blue Water, often shares, the beauty of RV travel lies in its ability to combine freedom and affordability with the deeper gift of connection.
On Grandparents Day, it’s a reminder that the most meaningful gift we can give isn’t something material, it’s time spent together.
