California RV Destinations

 

In our travels, we have been very fortunate to be able to visit many beautiful and interesting areas of the United States.  Below is a list of national and state parks, museums, railroad excursions and other attractions in California we recommend visiting.  Cities and towns listed with brackets [ ] were our base camps where we stayed and left our motorhome to visit the local attractions using our tow vehicle.  We have also included, if applicable, our recommended RV parks and any restaurants we particularly liked in these areas.   As RV parks, attractions and restaurants can change owners and/or management, we cannot guarantee the same level of food/service/accommodations as we experienced so please check current reviews and recommendations.

Check love-to-rv.com often as we will be adding other destinations as I research back into my journals from previous trips and as we continue to travel and find new and interesting places to go.

California State Railroad Museum Foundation, Sacramento CA –  The California State Railroad Museum is fantastic, the best railroad museum we have ever seen!

Death Valley National Park, Death Valley, CA, NV [Amargosa, NV]  -  Death Valley National Park is an amazing park that is below sea level with large areas of salt on the ground and beautiful mountain views above.  Be sure to see the Devil’s golf course made from crystallized salts.  The Badwater Basins sits at 282 feet below sea level.  The area of Artist’s Palette contains volcanic deposits that mineral pigments have colored into shades of reds, pinks, yellows, green and purple.  Death Valley gets extremely hot early so you will want to check out the temperature forecast before planning a trip to this park.

 Patrick’s Point State Park, Trinidad, CA -   This park is gorgeous in the heart of California’s redwood country with view of the ocean and walking trails in a natural setting.  There are several RV parks close to the park.  The summer we were there, the rest of the country was broiling and the temperatures in Trinidad were very moderate to cool.  Patrick’s Point provides awesome views of the ocean.  If you stay at one of the parks close to Patrick’s Point, you will be rewarded with the sounds of seals barking in the morning.

Redwood National and State Parks, Del Norte & Humboldt Counties , CA -  You can walk among these ancient giant trees at the national and state parks.

Featured Destination

Yellowstone National Park is my favorite national park so far. There is such a variety of things to see at Yellowstone including wildlife and geological wonders. To fully appreciate the park, you will probably want to spend more than one day as the park is very large. Be sure to see Old Faithful geyser.
