Road trips in the summer, driving alongside the sea is what vacations are made of.  The cool breeze blowing through open windows, where your arm is basking in the sun.  Friends fill the RV with great laughs and the music plays loudly.  This is summer.

Cruise in a  RV Motorhome rental from San Francisco down the gorgeous Pacific Coast to Cambria.

You'll be amazed by the beautiful crystal blue waters sparkling in the sun.  The horizon stretching out for miles and nothing but open roads and good times ahead.

Pick up an RV or Camper (a more young, hip and "cool"  version of the RV) in San Francisco and jump on Highway 1 heading to Santa Cruz, following the coast line.   Santa Cruz is located on the northern end of Monterey Bay, it has a beautiful coastline and a redwood forest that's worth a visit.  This summer vibe town is a great place to stop.

• Stay at Santa Cruz Redwoods RV Resort

Jump back on the Cabrillo HWY down the coast to Monterey.  This town is home to a lot of history, California's first theatre, public building, public library among others.  The aquarium is a must-see, as is the Fisherman's wharf and if you're there for the Jazz festival, you're in luck.

The temperate climate is perfect for kayaking, scuba diving, surfing, whale watching or just chillaxing at the many beautiful beaches.  Walk along the scenic trail to the Fisherman's wharf where you may just see seals, otters or pelicans.  

• Stay at Carmel by the River Rv Park. 

The stretch of coast south of Monterey hosts incredible views over the Pacific ocean and is free from the city hustle and bustle.  It lets you cruise your Rv and escape.  Pull into Parking spots along the way and sit and gaze out at the beautiful sea.  The awesome thing about having your accommodation (and kitchen) on wheels is you can pull out the coffee or cold drink and sit back and relax.

You'll come across Big Sur. Big Sur is a State Park with many place to camp and explore the beautiful surroundings.   Hike the miles of trails, find the River to meander through, and jaunt through the meadows, beaches and hilltops.  

• Stay at Big Sur Campground and Cabins (among many) 

Continue on down towards Cambria, stopping at any side of the road beaches, Reserves or parks along the way.  Kirk Creek Campground is a Campground off the highway right on the beach.  A nice place to stay if you're a keen beach-goer.

Cambria awaits you.  The town's primary economy is from Tourism, so they are ready for you.  It encompasses rocky cliffs and beaches and offers bicycling, hiking and many a beach spot to surf, boogie board, skimboard or relax.   

• Stay at Connelly's Road & Reel Trailer Park Cambria

It comes as no surprise that one of the best RV routes in the US is free of the grueling traffic,  lined with forests and beaches and is baked by the Pacific sun.  Book an RV or Camper to join this beautiful route.
