After writing about the RV groups for solo travelers of either gender, I wanted to share information about single-sex RV clubs. I will start by saying that I have neither heard of nor could find such a club with a Google search for men. In other words, today’s post is about membership clubs for solo women RV travelers.

All the Single Ladies…Not Necessarily

I found two RV membership groups for women. It’s worth noting that while most will be single and solo travelers, being single is not a requirement for membership for either group. In other words, lesbian couple may join. Likewise, so can be a married (to a man) woman though she must leave the husband (and kids) at home. 

Sisters on the Fly

Sisters on the Fly has a fun creation story. Two sisters went out fishing one day in August of 1999. That night while enjoying wine and the fish they’d caught, they started talking and decided that they had such a good time that on their next trip they’d invite a few girlfriends. And Sisters on the Fly was born.

By the way, they were fly fishing. So, do you understand the name now? In fact, one version of their logo includes a fly-fishing pole.

They describe themselves as:

The largest women’s social group with a focus on camping, outdoor activities and social gatherings creating friendships and networks.

In the 22 years since inception, nearly 18,000 women have joined Sisters on the Fly and today there is an active membership is close to 7,000. Annual membership is $70 and the rules of the organization are simple, “No men, no kids, be nice and have fun.”

What Sisters on the Fly Offers

Members organize what they title “events.” They include 2-hour get togethers (like a cookout) and week-long gatherings and everything in between. Some will include a nominal fee to cover any costs of the event. The events are so varied both in terms of the length and the activities (from hanging out to antique shopping, horseback riding to community service) that there is something for everyone.

On their website they offer a sampling of such events but not the event schedule itself. There is a member log in place on the website and I’m guessing that’s where you’ll find current and upcoming events. Or, maybe you get the details of events through their newsletter. If you want a sampling, however, here is a link to a blog post where they offered this.

And while events have been cancelled due to the pandemic, members have participated in Zoom events which I thought was pretty clever as it’s good for solo women RV travelers to stay connected during this year-long isolation.

RVing Women

While the main focus of Sisters on the Fly is events, RVing Women is focused on the RVing lifestyle through education and information. Don’t get me wrong, they also have a strong social aspect for solo women to their club and, like Sisters on the Fly and other RV membership clubs, they tour and caravan together.

When you go on their benefits of membership page the first item listed is friendship and networking. The second is RVing information. They are very much about empowering solo women travelers to feel confident and competent at being solo women RVers.

Another benefit of membership that is quite original and I just love is a directory of other members who allow fellow members to stay at her house overnight when she is on her way to her next location. They call this the Park ‘n Stay. This could be particularly great for a new RVer who is nervous about safety and hesitant to stay at a rest stop, Walmart or other free overnight place.

Additionally, they have chapter and national rallies as well as a national convention. One of the photos on their website is of the sky filled with hot air balloons taken at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. So, they must have one of their rallies or gathering at the event. You know that photo caught my eye.

The Details About RVing Women Membership

The RV women travelers club, describes themselves as dedicated to “sharing recreational activities, information and support with other RVing women.” In another place on their website, they describe themselves as providing women RVers “a supportive network and the opportunity to enjoy the RVing lifestyle in a safe and knowledgeable manner.” RVing Women founded in 1991, boasts more than 2,000 members. Membership is $62 annually with a $10 first-time member processing fee. Some chapters within the group may add an additional charge. Most chapters are by state or region, but they also have a full-timers chapter.

More to Come

If you have participated with either of the groups reviewed today, please share your thoughts and experiences. As with all memberships, I think the biggest question that others might like answered is whether you feel the membership fee is worth the value of what you receive.
