Maybe your favorite activity is playing your guitar around the campfire, or perhaps you play music gigs around the country. Maybe you like to annoy your husband with your accordion, or maybe the grandkids left their kazoo behind and you haven’t stopped playing it…
Music has a way of making RV life even more special. Strumming a tune under the stars, tapping out a rhythm on a travel-friendly drum, or even humming along with a harmonica can turn any campsite into a personal concert hall.
Some RVers bring full-sized keyboards, while others swear by the portability of a ukulele. And let’s not forget the singers—whether you’re belting it out solo or harmonizing with friends, music brings people together.
For some, playing music is a way to relax after a long drive, while for others, it’s an essential part of their lifestyle. You might be part of a traveling band, perform at open mic nights, or just enjoy serenading your fellow campers.
Have you ever made new friends at a campground just by playing a song? Maybe your instrument of choice has a great story behind it—like a vintage violin passed down through generations or a banjo picked up at a roadside flea market.
Whatever the case, do you bring a musical instrument with you on your RV trips? If so, will you share with us what instrument it is and if you play it professionally or just for fun? We want to know! As always, thank you for sharing!

I would but others need to bring their ear plugs.
No, unless a radio counts. A radio is the only instrument I can play.
Only if I eat a lot of Baked Beans. Then I have a Wind Instrument.
I can carry a tune in a bucket.
A musical instrument? I can hardly play the radio.
I couldn’t carry a note if it had a handle on it. I can play a mean radio though!
My girlfriend typically brings a ukulele with us on trips. The dog and I enjoy her playing when we’re chilling out inside. Unlike some people, she doesn’t impose her music on others who may not want to hear it, by playing outside.
Thank you for her consideration. Unlike the people that played outside about constantly for three day and worse when the washboard band joined in
I don’t bring a musical instrument, as I don’t play. Instead I bring my spinning wheel and on a nice day sit outside and spin wool into yarn and have a great time meeting people as they will always stop and ask what I’m doing.
Was tempted to say Yes, Always!, but I figure you don’t count the CD player or radio as a musical instrument. 🙂
On one trip a guitar (not electric or amplified) player decided it would be nice to play for the other guests. Our first thought was “don’t quit your day job”.
My steering wheel as I continually use it as a drum while rolling on down the road..
I don’t, but I sure enjoy evening jam sessions when folks gather and play their banjos, guitars, fiddles, etc. This is a very common thing in Tennessee campgrounds
Since I live in my motor home full time, I always have my musical instruments with me: electronic keyboard and 3 Native American style flutes.
I have a Brownsville electric travel guitar and a Roland Micro Cube amp I got specifically for camping/traveling with. The amp has a headphone jack, so I don’t have to worry about disturbing anyone (it also has a volume control, so there’s that, too…)
