I would like it to be less than 800 miles away and not too expensive along with young children friendly. Camping is OK if it is not too humid of a climate. THANKS


Answer
One of the best vacations I ever had was at June Lake. You can camp, boat, fish, hike, practice your photography or just plain relax. June Lake is close to Mammoth in the eastern sierras. It's 400 miles from San Diego and takes about 8 hours to drive including potty breaks and lunch. The scenery is postcard beautiful. Snow capped mountains ring the lakes even in July. All the campgrounds in the area have very nice facilities. Cabins are available for rent or you can bring your own RV. Tent camping is OK, but there is an occasional bear sighting.

What we did was to use Adventure in Camping. Here is their website. Basically you rent a 5th wheel trailer, tell them what campground you will be staying in and they deliver a really nice trailer and set it up for you. Then when you are done you call them and they come and pick it back up.http://adventureincamping.com/

The kids will have a ball up there.

What is the best beach campground in Santa Cruz?




Mrs. Alvar


Im looking for a beach campsite in the Santa Cruz or surrounding areas like Big Sur. We will be camping in a tent and will have 2 young children with us. My only real requirement is hot showers. All of the sites I have found are an average of $60 a night, which I think is ridiculous. Can anyone recommend something that is not so expensive?


Answer
Have you checked out the state park system? I did a quick search and found a number of state beach campgrounds (Manresa, New Brighton, and Sunset for starters) in the Santa Cruz/Watsonville area for $35 a night.
