Campgroubd by the lake, South Lake Tahoe, CA, USA
You will no doubt want to stop off at California's State Capital, Sacramento, en route to Lake Tahoe and our suggested campground, Historic Camp Richardson Resort & Marina, located on Lake Tahoe's Southwest Shore. You'll have a great time at this year round resort where miles of sandy beaches await the summer visitor and where everything from Seadoo and power boat rentals, to paddle boat and kayaks are available. Enjoy relaxing on the long stretch of beach, and enjoy the swimming area. Still looking for ways to add excitement? Try the Lake Tahoe Water-ski School, a sailing lesson, or soar 12,000 feet above the water while parasailing!
Escape Camper tip: It’s not a National Park, but it’s a nice way to loop back around to California. There are two main areas: North Tahoe and South Tahoe. Head to South Tahoe for casinos and pricey restaurants. Otherwise, North Tahoe is your place. It’s more laid back with better campgrounds (subjective opinion), beaches, and little communities that are more in line with the Escape crowd. Check out Truckee, Tahoe City, and Kings Beach if you’re looking for hip, welcoming mountain towns.
6:00 am - 283.5 miles / 4 heures 14 minutes - 10:15 am
Jour 7
Make sure you carve out a couple of days to check out Crater Lake National Park. It’s just a couple hours south of Bend on Highway 97 and is well worth the side trip. Created by the collapse of a volcano, this is one of the most beautiful parks you’ll see in the Pacific Northwest.
Best Camping
Mazama Campground. Open June through September, make sure you have reservations in advance. Lost Creek, although much smaller, is also worthy and all their sites are on a first-come-first-served basis. Finally, Crater Lake is surrounded by Umpqua National Forest, so boondocking (pirate camping) is another great option.
Side Trips
Umpqua Hot Springs and Toketee Falls are a short drive away outside the park and make for a great little day trip if you combine them.

With nothing to obstruct your view from the valley, the Teton Range is one of the most stunning mountain ranges in the world, making this stop a must. From hiking to bike riding to stand-up paddling, you will finish every day tired and satisfied. Enjoy a post-hike beer and nachos at Dornan’s in Moose Junction, grab a seat in a saddle at Cowboy Bar, enjoy some local live Bluegrass at historic Wort Hotel, or grab a coffee and bagel on your way out of town at Pearl Street Bagels.
Best Camping
Jenny Lake (very popular, so book ahead). Or, to get off the beaten path a bit, check out Shadow Mountain – the local’s car camping spot with a view of the Tetons you just can’t beat.

Mammoth, Yellowstone National Park, WY, USA
Once you do hit Yellowstone, our biggest tip is to rent a bike or take public transport around the park and take that much needed-break from the open road. Yellowstone comprises almost 3,500 sq miles (8,991 sq km), so plan on spending several days here to soak in everything this paradise has to offer.
Best Camping
Tower and Slough Creek are great. They fill up fast, so get there early to scope out a spot.

You may not be in the middle of nowhere while visiting this place, but you can definitely see it from there. Located on Highway 163 between the towns of Kayenta and Mexican Hat (make sure you stop over and get a Navajo Taco), this is the land that time forgot. For a $5 fee—paid to the Navajo Nation —you can drive the 17-mile loop taking you on a meandering path around the Monuments. Under normal conditions, this 2-hour drive is possible in an Escape Campervan. That said, the route is on an unimproved dirt road and you are NOT covered with Escape Roadside Assistance if you get stuck out there, especially during the rainy season. CHECK THE WEATHER BEFORE UNDERTAKING THE LOOP. Alternatively, a private Navajo-guided backcountry tour for a half day is a great way to experience the valley. You can book one upon arrival.
Best Camping
We’ve heard okay things about Goulding’s Campground just outside the park. We’ve heard great things about Gooseneck State Park to the west. Southern Utah is also chock-full of National Forest and BLM (Bureau of Land Management) Land so boondocking is a great option.

Located minutes from Page, Arizona, Antelope Canyon is easily the most photographed slot canyon in the world. The site actually comprises of two canyons: Upper Antelope, also known as The Crack, and Lower Antelope Canyon, known locally as The Corkscrew. Upper Antelope is by far more popular than Lower due to its accessibility but Lower Antelope is awe-inspiring in its own right. You’ll need a guide for this trip so try to sign up in advance. Contact: 1-866-645-9102 or email tours@antelopecanyon.com.

An oasis in the desert. National park campground next to the visitor center.
Fill up your gas tank before you head into the valley. It’s a long way between filling stations out there.
Best Camping
You can’t go wrong with any of the campgrounds in Death Valley. Furnace Creek is the only campground located ‘in’ the valley that’s open year around. Sunset, Texas Spring, and Stovepipe campgrounds are legit as well, although they’re only open October through April. You can book these in advance at recreation.gov, however, Furnace Creek is available on a first-come basis during winter months.
