Dinner Dates You Can Have in Your RV

When it comes to Valentine’s Day or date nights in general, it’s common to go on dates like seeing a new movie in theaters or going out to a nice restaurant. While these are great dates, they aren’t always an option when you’re camping or traveling on the road. If you and your significant other aren’t sure how you want to eat your romantic meal on date night, then here are five dinner date ideas to consider for Valentine’s Day and other date nights.


1. A Picnic By The Lake

If you plan on lake camping somewhere warm this winter, then take advantage of being able to have a picnic with views of a picturesque, glistening lake in front of you. This budget-friendly date idea simply requires a basket of your favorite food and drinks and a comfortable camping blanket. Try packing things like charcuterie boards and wine, sandwiches and snacks, or even a full-course meal, such as pasta, if that is what you and your partner prefer.

 

2. A Romantic Meal Under String Lights

If you and your significant other love going out to a five-star restaurant on Valentine’s Day, then sitting at a picnic table with lights hanging is a nice alternative. Nothing sets the mood more than hanging string lights from your RV and putting on your favorite outfit to make date night a little more dreamy. Whip up one of your favorite gourmet meals, such as mushroom risotto, and enjoy a peaceful date night. Enhance the setting even more with some rose petals and the best bottle of wine you can find at the local store. 

 

3. A Fiesta For Two

Spice it up by adding some fiesta party decorations and by playing some mariachi music! This type of date night is easy, fun, and delicious.
