5 Great Winter RV Destinations in California: Year 2021

 

In the winter months, California attracts RVers from the rest of the United States. Theirs is nowhere else in the country where you can enjoy all of the weather in one state. Winter temperatures are cool to mild in most parts of California, except in the high mountains range and the far northern part of the state. In fact, on a sunny day, you can feel warm enough to put on your bathing suit and lay out on the beach in the middle of January.

Doing RVing in Southern California is a great option for anyone looking to warm up and have some fun during the winter. In San Diego, for example, the temperature rarely gets below an average 65 degrees during the winter, making it more than bearable. To help you get started planning your winter trip, check out five of the great places we suggest to go RVing in Southern California.

1. Discover the Joshua Tree National Park and Surroundings

Located on the southern end of the Mojave Desert, the Joshua Tree Lake R.V. & Campground is a great place to spend holidays during winter. There is a plenty of things to do in and around the National Park. Here are three of the must do’s in the area:

·         Palm Springs Tram

·         Desert Hot Springs (mineral baths)

·         Mitchell Caverns

 

2. Whale Watching Tours in San Diego

We recommend spending time in San Diego with the best part being a whale watching tour. Unless you live on the coast area, perhaps the only time you will ever see whales is on television. In the winter, you should be looking out for Pacific Gray Whales as they make their annual journey from Alaska to Mexico’s Baja lagoons where they will give birth to calves. The Chula Vista RV Resort is a great tourist attraction.

 

3. Horse Riding and Beaches in Malibu

The famous Malibu beaches are a year round tourist destination with Malibu Beach RV Park providing quality amenities. With the beach as your first stop, you’ll get a chance to totally relax and unwind yourself. If you’re more of the enthusiast explorer, you’ll have miles of coastline to hike and discover. If you want something different, you can also enjoy horse rides year round on private property that has great views of canyons, promontories and of course the Pacific Ocean.

 

4. Visit Death Valley

Death Valley is actually a desert in the eastern California. Death Valley is known as the holder of some of the highest temperatures ever recorded on earth. In the winter the temperatures are manageable but can go extremely cold as well. Death Valley National Park is huge and you can spend a good few days there and not even scratch the surface of everything the park has to offer. RVing is not suitable in many places of the park so be sure to discuss with local rangers before you plan a day trip.

5. Take in the Sights of Los Angeles

It may be cliché, but Los Angeles is a destination that needs to be explored. Walnut RV Park is a great base for you as you avoid the busy inner roads of the city to get to key destinations. Universal Studios, Hollywood Sign, Griffith Park Observatory and Santa Monica Pier are all within 30 miles of the park. What else you want!

Travel Tips

ü  Keep an update on roads closed in winter.

ü  Don’t miss the whale-watching season along many parts of the California coast.

ü  Be cautious when driving in the rain, especially during the first rain after a dry spell when accumulated surface oil makes the road even more slippery.

Just because it is winter, doesn’t mean you have to take cover or hibernate like a bear. Southern California is a great place to escape in your RV this winter. Don’t forget to protect your RV with an RV Roof coating before you head out.
