2. Take a walk on Pismo Beach
There isn’t much that’s more romantic than strolling along the water’s edge at sunset with your partner. And Pismo Beach offers incredible sunsets for you to enjoy. You can enjoy the quiet lapping sounds of the waves on the sand as you walk.
Or if you’re the type of couple that likes a little more adventure, there are plenty of things that you can do in and around Pismo Beach.

3. Choose your own adventure in Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara is a popular destination for both locals and out-of-state visitors and it’s easy to see why. There are endless options of date nights that you can create when you visit Santa Barbara
If fine dining is your style, Santa Barbara has some delicious options. There are plenty of food styles to choose from, many with a Central Coast spin on them. So, if a fancy fine dining meal is on the agenda for Valentine’s Day, you’ll find what you’re looking for here.
Or, if you want to do something a little more eclectic than getting dressed up for dinner, head over to Funk Zone. This contemporary and artistic area of Santa Barbara has endless choices of things to do and try. You can walk the urban wine trail or browse the boutique retailers.
4. Get out in nature at Joshua Tree National Park
Sometimes all you need for a little romance is to get away from the hustle and bustle of your normal, everyday life. Finding a place to park the RV out in nature, like in a spot around Joshua Tree National Park, can help you disconnect from the world and reconnect with each other.
Fine dining, roses, and chocolates aren’t for everyone. If you’re the type of couple that would rather stargaze, hike, and breathe in the fresh air, use Valentine’s Day weekend as a chance to get away from it all.
5. Road Trip California
Sometimes the most romantic thing can be hitting the open road without having a real plan of where you’re headed and what you’re doing. You can just pack up the RV with your partner and head out. Make a game out of deciding which direction you’re headed, what food you’re going to eat, and where you’re going to stop and explore. Set out on a Valentine’s Day adventure that you won’t forget. California is filled with amazing destinations from the coastline to the vineyards, fine dining to fish shacks, and museums to forests. Create a one-of-a-kind adventure just for the two of you.
What about “staying in”?
One of the beauties of owning an RV is that you have the option of “staying in” even while you’re out. Who said you couldn’t have date night inside the RV instead of heading out? There are plenty of ways that you can enjoy a date at your campsite.
- Do dinner and movie from the comfort of your couch while snuggled up together.
- Fix your partner’s favorite meal and enjoy it by candlelight while playing a personalized playlist
- Build a campfire, roast marshmallows, and dream about the future together
- Go for an evening walk with a blanket and some wine and find the perfect spot to watch the stars come out
You can make your “staying-in date night” as fancy or relaxed as you want it to be. You have full control over how you make it and you don’t need to worry about other people getting in the way.
What’s the best RV for a couple?
If you’re wondering what is the best RV to buy, the answer is going to depend on what you’re looking for. While you might not need a lot of space to enjoy the perfect weekend “date night” with your partner, it’s a good idea to think a little more long term when choosing an RV to purchase. It may be just the two of you right now, but is there a chance that there might be little ones in the near future? Your RVing days don’t have to end if a baby comes along, you just might need a little more space.
Or, if you have a few furbabies that come along wherever you go, you may want to consider what their needs are going to be when camping with your dogs. An RV that fits you and your partner perfectly might be a little tight when you add in a few furry friends and all that comes along with them.
It’s also important to consider what types of RVing trips you and your significant other like to take together. If you’re more into urban camping, then you may want to opt for a Camper Van where if you’re going to be full-time RVers, you may want something that provides you with a little more space. That’s the beauty of RVs, there’s a right fit for everyone and every purpose. Sky River RV is happy to help you and your partner find the best RV for you.
And remember, while Valentine’s Day will quickly pass, any time is a great time for an RV date night!
