Making the Most of RV Camping in Northern California
from:The scenic coastal coves of Northern California with their diverse marine life, the towering forests of sequoia and redwood trees, the historic old centers for mining and government—there are many things to see while RV camping in Northern California. But sometimes the difference between the trip of a lifetime and a world of headaches is as simple as choosing the right spot for your RV, so this guide outlines a few of the best places to visit and avoid while RV camping in Northern California.
Perhaps the most spectacular trees in the world, the sequoias are found in select areas of Northern California. They can be some of the best things to see while RV camping in Northern California, but not all campgrounds are as RV friendly as others, and some are better suited to specific types of Rvs. Whenever you are booking ahead, make sure to ask for specific details about hook-up capabilities and ease of access, especially if you have special requirements or an especially large RV. An awe of nature will quickly turn to frustration if your campground is stuck in the middle of a stand of redwoods and the road is too tight for your RV to get through. Some of the better places to see the big trees while RV camping in Northern California are Sequoia National Park and Redwood National Park.
California is known as the Sunshine State, and what better way to enjoy the sunshine than on the beach? Highlights include Fort Bragg's Beach and Half Moon Bay. Some of the best beaches for RV camping in Northern California, including the two listed here, fill up rapidly during the summer months—sometimes with several weeks of reservations booked solid. So make sure to book in advance to avoid any let downs when you get to the campground.
Another area that attracts many people to RV camping in Northern California are the old ghost towns, such as Bodie. Because of the rapid rise and fall of the California gold rush, many such towns erupted into existence and then evaporated under the desert sun after the gold dried up, leaving the husks of their buildings. Remember to get your AC checked if you are going in the summer, and try to drive before the sun is at its hottest to spare your vehicle's engine an overly stressful drive.
Finally, many people are interested in seeing the historic state capitol of Sacramento, but not interested in staying in or paying for a cramped hotel room within the city. RV camping in one of the cities campgrounds, or outside the city limits, can be a good solution. But remember to check the schedule of the monuments over your stay before you leave. Erratically scheduled and carried out renovations can leave you with an unpleasant surprise on arriving to the city.
