The Great Outdoors

You don’t have to go far to see amazing sights while renting an RV near Chula Vista; however, with a little effort, you’re sure to find something truly unique. Bird watchers flock from all around to visit San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge is separated into two distinct areas, with over 200 species to see, including flamingos. The Sweetwater Marsh Unit is nice for spotting juvenile fish and invertebrates. A visit to the South San Diego Bay Unit will let you see the salt ponds and maybe even nesting seabirds.If you are looking for a more focused nature expedition, consider taking a trip over to Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve. Another excellent destination for bird lovers, here you can take a guided bird walk to help you spot some of the local inhabitants like the light-footed clapper rail. There are also guided nature walks if you are more interested in keeping your sights on the ground rather than the sky. At this diverse reserve, you will also find numerous hiking trails to traverse on your own.When you're ready to experience an epic outdoor adventure, take the Chula Vista RV rental over to Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. Covering around 26,000 acres, there's a lot of space to branch out and explore.
