Escapees RV Club is currently over 70,000 people strong across the United States, Canada and throughout North America.
🌄“The truth is, there was no grand scheme. There was no lofty vision. There was no detailed plan with five and ten-year goals. We were simply two working travelers enthralled with the RV lifestyle who wanted to make RVing the best it could possibly be for ourselves, our friends, and our fellow travelers.”
Kay Peterson, Co-Founder
The club started with humble roots as groups of families, working and raising children while on the road, all bound together with a common set of values—caring and sharing. The sentiment of “people helping people” became the driving force for all the services Escapees offers today. We didn’t set out to become “a total support network for all RVers.” Instead, we grew to offer services in eight different industries, because it helped friends, like you, to be more successful in this wonderful, unconventional lifestyle.
Beginning in July of 1978, the first Escapade was held in February 1979, the first SKP Co-Op in September 1982, and the first Birds of a Feather in February 1984. Our headquarters were established in Livingston TX in mid-1984. From that great foundation, we have grown exponentially in every aspect of our community.
