5 Tips for Driving Your Campervan or RV in San Francisco
1. Know Your Size
When it comes to maneuvering your Campervan or RV in downtown San Francisco, size really does matter. Those steep hills and narrow lanes weren’t designed with RVs in mind, so make sure you’re well-acquainted with the dimensions of your Campervan or RV before you venture forth.
2. Avoid Rush Hour
Think of San Francisco’s traffic like a lively San Francisco Giants game, with everyone scrambling for a piece of the action at the same time. Not exactly the serene vacation scene you had in mind, right?
So, here’s the inside scoop: the city’s evening commute, fondly known as the “afternoon rush,” is the most congested part of the day. It kicks into high gear around 4 pm and doesn’t let up until around 7 pm. The peak of this traffic fiesta? Between 5 pm and 6 pm.
But remember, you’re on vacation! There’s no need to join the daily grind. Plan your journey to sidestep these peak hours. After all, your Campervan or RV adventure should be more about the open road and less about brake lights.
3. Parking Smart
San Francisco streets are dotted with signs, and not just the ones advertising sourdough bread. Keep a keen eye out for Campervan or RV parking spots and pay close attention to any parking restrictions. Your Campervan or RV will thank you for it.
4. Fuel up for Adventure
Don’t let your adventure sputter to a stop. Gas stations in the city center are as rare as a quiet moment at a San Francisco Giants game, so fill up before you roll in. Or, seek out stations on the city’s fringes.
5. Take It Slow
You’re here to soak in the sights, not set a land speed record. Take it slow, enjoy the journey, and leave plenty of time for detours to national parks and San Francisco Zoo or a stay at the San Francisco RV resort. After all, the best part of travelling is the unexpected surprises along the way.
5 Must-See Destinations in San Francisco
1. The San Francisco Bay Area
There’s no better place to kick off your west coast adventure than in the heart of the city itself. With Travellers Autobarn – San Francisco branch located 19.4 miles from the San Francisco Bay Area, you’ll be exploring the bustling streets and iconic landmarks of the Bay Area in no time.
2. Kings Canyon National Park
Feel like a king and hit the road south of San Francisco to Kings Canyon National Park. This is northern California’s best-kept secret, with deep valleys, skyscraping trees, and over 800 miles of trails. And the best part? There’s an Campervan or RV park near San Francisco that’s just a stone’s throw away.
3. Yosemite National Park
No Campervan or RV adventure in California would be complete without a visit to Yosemite National Park. With its breathtaking waterfalls, grand meadows, and ancient sequoias, it’s nature’s version of a royal flush. Just don’t forget your camera!
4. Half Moon Bay
Located on the Pacific Coast, just west of downtown San Francisco and 21.3 miles from San Francisco International Airport, Half Moon Bay offers a peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. Whether you’re into surfing, bird watching, or want to enjoy a sunset stroll on the beach, this place has it all.
5. Sequoia National Park
Last, but not least, make sure to visit Sequoia National Park past south San Francisco. Home to some of the largest trees on earth, this park is a testament to nature’s grandeur.
