Summer vacation is more than a week or two of fun and relaxation. It is not just the freedom to escape the duties of work and home. It is the culmination of plans and anticipation. It’s the light at the end of the tunnel.
Great expectations tend to build up around summer vacations. Everyone involved anticipates the gorgeous weather, the exciting activities, the well-deserved break from the bulk of the year. Where to go? Dad wants to golf, the kids want an amusement park. Mom wants to see nature and the cousins love the beach. Don’t let someone in your family get the short end of the summer vacation stick. This year make it an RV vacation.
Just within California alone, the vacation possibilities are limitless. Inland, mountainous vacations hold that special camping charm. Mount Shasta contains some outstanding opportunities. Hiking and backpacking in the Syskiyou Mountains offer a delightful alpine campground environment for the more adventurous families, or a group of friends with rustic tastes. Rafting and fishing are especially excellent in the Northern Lakes region.
Head on the highway southbound to some of the most idyllic natural settings in the world. Big Sur is renowned the world over for its coastal majesty. There are some fine RV campgrounds in the region. This location is terrific for every traveler, from surfers to grandparents.
Families with a group of children can never go wrong with an amusement park. California is home to the parks that attract every American family west of the Mississippi. Knot’s Berry Farm in sunny Orange County retains a frontier charm and has rollercoasters for the braver kids, as well as tamer rides and activities for parents and toddlers. Be sure to grab some funnel cake. Legoland, Disneyland, Wild Water Adventure Park, Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, the list goes on and on.
Maybe an evening under the ballpark lights suits your vacationers best. Aside from the Major League Baseball teams in Oakland, San Francisco, Anaheim, Los Angeles and San Diego, California has a vibrant group of minor league teams in a number of cities, such as Lake Elsinore, San Jose and Bakersfield. With many teams in many locations throughout the state, the national pastime is a superb addition to any vacation plan.
And this barely scratches the surface. We could talk about iconic Death Valley, gorgeous San Diego County, wine country, Lake Tahoe, et California cetera. The beauty of the RV vacation is the ability to tackle a few of these destinations in one trip. Pull out the map, mix and match, and this year get the summer vacation done right.
