Geocaching is a fast-growing, family-friendly activity popular among RVers. It’s essentially a modern treasure hunt using a GPS or smartphone. Anyone can hide a small container—like a water bottle or plastic box—with a logbook and small trinkets inside. The hider posts the location’s coordinates on geocaching.com, often with clues or riddles. The coordinates guide you close to the cache, but the final discovery requires curiosity and a sense of adventure.

Once you find the cache, you sign the logbook and return it for the next explorer. With thousands of geocaches across the U.S. and worldwide, it’s an easy and fun hobby for RV travelers looking to connect with nature and the larger geocaching community.

RVers And Geocaching

RVers naturally enjoy adventure, exploration, and community—making geocaching a perfect fit. With the freedom to travel, RVers can uncover caches in countless new locations. It’s a great activity for families with kids, hikers, or anyone looking to add excitement to their road trips. Whether you search near your campground or take a drive to a more remote cache, you’ll always find something new. Many geocachers discover hundreds of caches each year, making it an ideal challenge for full-time travelers.

Wholesale Warranties And Geocaching

Our team at Wholesale Warranties recently discovered geocaching and quickly fell in love with it. We were surprised to find about 30 geocaches within walking distance of our San Diego office! It’s become a fun lunchtime activity, giving us a chance to get fresh air and bond as a team.

One memorable cache was placed by a 3-year-old battling Coronary Heart Disease. Finding his container filled with drawings, toys, and inspiring messages made the experience even more meaningful.

Whether you’re on the road in your RV or taking a break during the workday, geocaching is a great way to explore, connect, and add adventure to your routine.
