Lake Tahoe has lots of great camping spots, from small private sites to big sites that have lots of things for the kids to do.

Places to see in California

If you are visiting California there are a few places that you need to stop and visit. The following are things that are unique to California. Alcatraz Island is one of those things. The island was first purchased by the US government in 1850 to be set up as a military reservation. It was later used as a military defense station then a military prison before it was set up as a federal penitentiary which it is famous for today. Tours of the island are available that let you tour the facility and hear stories of the infamous prisoners who used to inhabit the cells.

Santa Monica Pier

Santa Monica Pier was built in the early 1900s. It houses the original carousel that was placed on the pier in 1922 and the iconic roller coaster and Ferris wheel. The Ferris Wheel gives you amazing views out over the Pacific Ocean. Learn about the history of the pier with a free walking tour. This tour will show you nooks and crannies of the pier that so many people do not even know exist. The tour also has some great celebrity stories and stories of the original Muscle Beach.

Yosemite Falls

Yosemite Falls is located in Yosemite National Park in California.  It is the fifth tallest falls in the world weighing in at 2425 ft. Most of the water comes from snowmelt higher up the mountain. The falls are at their greatest in May and June when snowmelt is the highest. There is a one-mile trail loop that will take you to the bottom of the falls. If you are looking for a more challenging hike, try the all-day hike to the top of the falls. Beware this hike is not for the faint of heart.

Class C RV Rentals

Tuesday, February 7th, 2017

Class C RVs are the most common type of RV. Class C RV’s are characterized by the large bed directly over the driver’s cabin. Class C’s are available in many sizes. I have seen them as small as 22’ and as larger are 35’. These motorhomes tend to sleep more people than a similar sized Class A as you get that extra bed over the driver. Most Class C RVs allow you to walk from the driver’s area into the cabin of the RV, but I have seen exceptions to this, so it is always good to ask before you rent the RV if this is important to you. This RV will tend to be a little easier to drive compared to a Class A motorhome because the wheelbase is much more similar to regular passenger vehicles. In the end, this is the most popular type of RV simply because of the extra sleeping space that it provides. Class C RV’s can be rented from almost any major city across the US including, Phoenix (PHX), Los Angeles (LAX), Chicago (ORD) San Francisco (SFO), Denver (DEN), Boston (BOS) Miami (MIA), Orlando (MCO), Ft Lauderdale (FLL) Las Vegas (LAS), RENO (RNO), New York City (NYC), Dallas (DFW), Salt Lake City (SLC), and Seattle (SEA).
