Road trips that our season estimate rates as best in June: 745 routes in Europe, North America and Oceania.

Where to go in June by RV or camper? June brings the longest days of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, and in the far north of Scandinavia the sun barely sets. Most mountain passes are now open, alpine meadows are in bloom and the sea slowly warms up. Before the big summer holidays, campgrounds are still relaxed in many places. In Australia winter begins, which is the best time for the tropical north.

The routes below are the ones our season estimate rates as good in June, based on long-term temperature averages, terrain and pass opening seasons. Our tip: June is a wonderful time for Norway, Sweden and Finland, with endless light and often fewer crowds than in July. Pack an eye mask for the bright nights and mosquito repellent for the lakes and forests of the north.

## FAQs

**Where is it nice to go by motorhome in June?**
Almost everywhere in Europe and North America. Scandinavia, the Alps, Scotland and the Atlantic coast are especially beautiful, with long days and mild temperatures. In southern Europe it can already get hot, so the coasts and mountains are more pleasant than the inland plains. In Australia, the tropical north enjoys its dry season.

**Is June high season for camping?**
Not quite yet in most of Europe. The main summer school holidays usually start in late June or July, so campgrounds are open and often still have space. Weekends and public holidays can be busy, though. In the US, the summer season starts at the end of May, and the national parks get busy in June.

**How are the routes for June chosen?**
Our season estimate combines long-term temperature averages, terrain and the opening seasons of mountain passes for every stop of a route. These 745 routes are rated “good” in June. Weather varies from year to year, so check the forecast before you go.
