Better than Hollywood: California Campgrounds Offer You the Star Treatment
from:Sure, California is known for its Walk of Fame, Hollywood sign, and other symbols of the movie industry. But you can actually enjoy amenities fit for a star at various California campgrounds. The West Coast state features an amazing variety of different camping sites. In addition to the traditional fare, California campgrounds can also offer you some unforgettable experiences. They’re picture-perfect moments that will flood your memory for years—if not decades—to come. And they’re moments you’ll want to share with those closest to you—your spouse, children, siblings, parents, and best friends.
California campgrounds include something known as the ambiance park. This term refers to an RV park, campground, or resort area that is in a specialized location. To qualify as ambiance parks, California campgrounds must feature truly unique environments, high physical quality, and award-winning service.
Among the California campgrounds to qualify as an ambiance park is Snug Harbor, which is located in a historic area of the California Delta. In recent years, the park has enjoyed a number of significant improvements. In fact, it was named “Best Small Park” in 2001 by the California Travel Park Association. As a result, it’s an obvious destination for those who enjoy staying at cozy campsites.
Another one of the myriad of California campgrounds worth exploring is Lake Tulloch in the Sierra Foothills. This park features more than 55 incredible miles of shoreline. It’s also known for some of the finest water skiing anywhere. At Lake Tulloch, you’ll enjoy lakefront cabins with your own dock, along with electrical, water, and sewer service. The park site also features a general store, marina, restaurant, and laundry facilities. As a result, it’s one of those California campgrounds that you’ll want to return to numerous times.
One of the many advantages of staying at California campgrounds is that you’re frequently adjacent to some marvelous attractions. For instance, while staying at a Sunshine State campground near the city of Blythe, you can explore a town named for a renowned San Francisco developer and financier, Thomas Blythe. It’s also quite a safe location, since it’s considered to be one of the most “seismically stable” cities on the West Coast. In fact, there hasn’t been an earthquake in Blythe for more than half a billion years.
With all of its big city attractions such as theaters and museums, California is often overlooked as a camping destination. Yet, it’s a state which is incredibly accommodating to campers. Given its rich scenery, the West Coast state is a natural destination for RVers and other fans of the great American outdoors.
