Sometimes all you need is a quick escape to reset and recharge. A weekend away can be just the thing to break your routine while reconnecting you with nature or simply giving you the opportunity to explore somewhere new.
You could be a thrill seeker, a relaxation enthusiast, or you just want to change your scenery, but there’s a perfect weekend getaway out there for you. Let’s take a look at 4 great types of weekend trips to consider for your next mini adventure.
- A nature retreat in the mountains. You could trade in the city noise for the soothing sounds of rustling leaves and birdsong. A mountain weekend is ideal for anyone looking to unplug and breathe in some fresh air. Find a cabin, pitch a tent or stay in one of the many RV parks located near the national forests or scenic byways. Spend your days hiking, waterfall hunting or sipping coffee with a view. Even a 2 day trip to the mountains can feel like a full reset for your body and your mind.
- A coastal chill out. If you’re more of a toes in the sand kind of traveller, a beach weekend could be your ideal escape. Drive along the coast until you find a sleepy beach town or book a stay near a State Park with beach access. Whether you’re swimming, paddle boarding, or just enjoying a seafood dinner by the shore, coastal destinations are perfect for laid back weekends. Many RV parks are located just steps from the water offering you a budget friendly option with $1,000,000 views. Don’t forget to check the tide schedules if you plan to explore tide pools or go clamming.
- An adventure weekend in the desert. If you’re looking for something a little different, head to the desert for a weekend filled with unique landscapes, starry skies, and off the beaten path, adventures. From sand dunes to red rock canyons, the desert offers you an otherworldly beauty you won’t find anywhere else. You could book a guided off roading tour, explore hidden slot canyons, or simply set up camp and enjoy the solitude. RV parks in desert areas often offer access to remote trails and stunning scenic overlooks. The best part here is that you usually get clearer skies, which are great for stargazers.
- Lakeside relaxation getaways. Sometimes all you need is a calm lake and a cosy chair. A lakeside weekend is perfect for fishing, kayaking or just unwinding with a book. Pick a lake within driving distance and look for accommodations that suit your travel style, whether it’s a campsite, a rustic cabin, or one of the many family friendly RV parks that sit right on the water’s edge. Don’t forget to bring some marshmallows for evening campfires by the shore.
No matter the type of weekend or way that you’re craving, there is an option that fits your mood. Before you know it, you’ll have a next adventure booked.
