Trip notes

June tips for California

Nights dip to freezing or below: insulated water hose, tank protection or a winterized rig, and extra propane.
Carry traction boards and check chain requirements before any mountain route.
Plan shorter driving days — winter-pattern daylight is limited and campground offices close early.
Prioritize shade and airflow: awning, reflective window covers, and a full fresh-water tank for hot stretches.
Book electric hookups where you can — air conditioning is the difference-maker on hot afternoons.
Pack insect repellent and check local fire restrictions before planning campfires.
Shoulder-season tip for California: Early March and late November offer fewer crowds in popular spots like Yosemite but mountain weather remains unpredictable.
