Whether you’re trekking across the country or locally, there’s a lot of adventure to be had in planning an RV camping trip in California. Before you go, make sure that you’ve got all your ducks in a row for the perfect getaway. Whether you’re grabbing the whole family or making it a couple’s retreat, here are some things to consider beforehand.
Check Weather Forecast
Although California is sunny most of the year, be sure to check the weather forecast for the time of year you want to visit. Some months, you can expect cooler weather, especially around fall. If you’re planning a “hot dogs and s’mores by the fire” kind of night around your private fire pit at Yosemite RV Resort, then this could be perfect!
However, if you’re looking for longer days in the sun for activities and warm nights to relax, late spring or summer may be your best bet. (Plus, some seasons offer different monthly rates, so be sure to check that out.)
Put Together an Itinerary
What are your big goals for this RV camping trip? Maybe you want to focus most on seeing the sights and spending some quality time with family. Or maybe you’re considering something a little more adventure-filled that everyone can enjoy. Regardless, it’s always a good idea to make a tentative plan so you can maximize your time away!
Consider Local Attractions
California is great for a variety of attractions and sights, especially beautiful Yosemite. There are some great nature trails, historical centers, and even a nearby casino. When you’re considering a trip to this part of the country, think of all the local spots you want to visit. From wine country to sprawling forests, Yosemite Valley and the surrounding region offer some truly one-of-a-kind experiences you don’t want to miss.
On the Drive There
While you’re looking forward to the destination, don’t forget about the journey either. Thankfully, an RV has most of what you need for a cross-country trip. However, depending on how far you’re traveling, definitely take into consideration what activities or comforts would most keep your little ones occupied. Some good ideas include car games, activity booklets, and even ready-to-go snack packs.
Pack the Essentials
If you’re planning on cooking all of your dinners by the campfire, or you know you’ll want snacks during long hikes, it’s vital to create an exhaustive packing list so you don’t have to run to the store at every turn. Fortunately, Yosemite RV Resort’s amenities include an on-site retail store where you can pick up drinks, snacks, toiletries, and more to make your camping experience more comfortable.
