The innovative design and precision construction make Lance travel trailers perfect for an extended RV tour of the West Coast. As a base camp while exploring southern California, or an off-road house on wheels in Olympic National Forest, Lance camper trailers are ready to go off-grid, and flexible enough to keep everyone comfortable in southern heat or mountaintop chills.
Why Lance Travel Trailers?
Many of the optional add-ons available in other trailers are standard equipment in Lance campers. They are solar-ready with 100 watts of power that can be easily expended to 200 watts. The frame is solid, the materials are lightweight, and Lance’s innovative trailer design means they can be taken off-road, and that opens the door to exciting destinations all along the western side of the country. Whether you crave crowds or countryside, Lance travel trailers will bring your adventures to life.
1. Venice Beach to Malibu
There are quite a few RV campgrounds a short drive north of Santa Monica where Lance travel trailers can be parked as an excellent base camp. From scenic beach-side locations such as Carillo State Park, it is a short drive to fine fishing at Malibu Pier, Pacific Park & the Heal The Bay Aquarium at Santa Monica Pier, plus miles of oceanside walk, fine dining, and trendy shopping. At the end of the day, your family can retire to quieter, more relaxing environs back at your Lance camper. Plan to spend a few days in your camp, because the L.A. basin has a lot to experience.
2. San Simeon and San Luis Obispo
The property surrounding Hearst Castle was once a private wildlife preserve, and Zebra are among the few exotic animals still roaming the estate today. From touring the luxurious mansion to watching giant elephant seals along the San Simeon coast, There is a lot to see, but parking in some places may be limited. The best option is to park at one of the local RV resorts, take in the sights and sounds of this unique area, and then move further along the coast the next day.
3. Big Sur and Redwood Forests
North of San Simeon, the redwood forests rise up along the coast, dwarfing everything around them. With a Lance travel camper, you and your family can nestle in below these giants for a night of peaceful slumber, and awake to the bounty of nature–possibly even a gurgling stream– just outside the door. Giant trees are common in the northern portion of California, occasionally broken by other terrain types similar to those found in the Monterey Bay area.
4. Carmel By-The-Sea and Monterey Bay
From natural beaches to world-famous Cannery Row, the area surrounding Monterey Bay should not be missed. Lance travel trailers are welcome at RV campgrounds and resorts all along California’s Route 1, and the all-weather construction makes Lance campers ideal for road trips in the Spring when temperatures are still quite cool at night.
Children will love Keechum Park, a themed tribute to the creator of Dennis the Menace, snorkelers have plenty of shallow coastal diving, and world-famous Cannery Row is a historic step into the past. Seals and sea lions abound in Monterey Bay and eucalyptus trees line the miles of multi-use paths.
5. Mount Shasta
Not all of the beauty of the West Coast is found on the coast itself. Mt. Shasta is a perfect example of that, with its snow-capped peak towering over the countryside for miles in any direction. Known for boondocking in Shasta-Trinity National Forest and world-glass skiing on the mountain’s slopes, the area in and around the town of Mt. Shasta is bustling with campers and hikers. Campers are always welcome here, but the nights can be chilly, even in the summer. If you are boondocking on the slopes you will definitely appreciate the solid frame construction and all-season insulation built into every Lance camper and travel trailer.
6. Rogue River
You have probably heard that Rogue River and Siskiyou National Forest is an ideal getaway for a lance camper. The area is dotted with boondocking sites, and regulations allow camping for up to 14 days without moving your campsite. Between Gold Beach on the coast and Grants Pass inland you will find thousands of acres of wilderness to discover, and there are plenty of RV campgrounds if you aren’t comfortable with roughing it in isolated areas. The ride along highway 101 from Gold Beach to Tillamook should be on everyone’s to-do list when they get to this part of the country.
7. Nehalem Bay State Park
Just outside of Tillamook, Oregon, Nehalem Bay State Park offers RV campsites that are an easy walk from the beach and bay, respectively. Park your Lance travel trailer here and then take your time enjoying the surrounding area. Be sure to set aside some time to tour the cheese factory where world-famous Tillamook cheese originated, spend some time on the beach, and explore the beautiful Oregon coast.
8. Cape Disappointment State Park
The Washington coast has a lot to offer RV travelers. Starting at Cape Disappointment, just over the state line from Astoria, Oregon, there are many opportunities to enjoy the serenity of the Columbia River. There are some great RV spots inside the park, and the peninsula contains a wealth of natural diversity.
Farther north, the Olympic National Park is bordered by the Pacific Ocean on one side, by the Puget Sound on the other, and Canada lies across the Salish Sea to the North. Mount Rainier dominates the landscape in northwestern Washington, and it can be observed almost everywhere between Kingston’s eclectic shopping and the ocean. The Puget Sound is famous for killer whales, but visitors may have the privilege of viewing several whale species anywhere the roads border open water.
