The Complete RVers Guide to Military & Veteran Discounts
The RV community is comprised of folks with all kinds of jobs, lives, and stories, including campers who have served the United States of America. At Camping World, we acknowledge and honor our military service members and veterans. After all, we cherish the freedom of filling up the gas tank and hitting the open road.
If you’re reading this article, you may be a service member yourself or know one. Learn what kind of savings to look for, and how to ask for them, with this RVers guide to military and veteran discounts below.
Note: To verify your service, most campgrounds and companies require the presentation of military identification, while other places may need more or less proof of eligibility to receive the discount.

Camping World honors all military and veterans every day by extending a 5% discount on all purchases (some exclusions do apply).
