Going on vacation is wonderful, but let's be honest, the journey there can sometimes be quite long, especially when you're in search of sunshine. Spending hours in the car, trying to keep the kids entertained as they start to get impatient, is not very relaxing. So, what's a practical thing to do? That's right! Regain your vacation feeling by making a stopover at a nice campground along the way.

Now you might be thinking, why not drive straight through? That's certainly an option, but making a stopover has its advantages.

  • You're less fatigued. When you travel straight through, you'll need 1 to 2 days to recover from your journey upon arrival. This means you won't have the energy for fun activities or enjoyable evenings. With a stopover, your body has had some rest, and you can tackle your vacation with renewed energy.
  • The vacation feeling lingers. A stopover at a campground can bring back that vacation feeling because you get to clear your mind and temporarily forget about traffic jams and stress.
  • You get to discover new campgrounds and surroundings that you might not have seen otherwise.
  • The kids also have some distraction. Stopping at an overnight campground makes the journey feel shorter for the kids too. Enjoy that peace and quiet in the car!
