Newcastle is an unincorporated town in Placer County, California. The town is situated in the Sierra Nevada foothills and has warm summers followed by moderate winters. Its post office was opened in 1864 and the railroad to Newcastle, which had been delayed due to insufficient funds, was continued in the spring of 1865. The surrounding area was, at that time, the “cradle” of the gold rush but Newcastle was more well known for its fruit orchards. It is also the home of novelist, poet, and musician Christian Kiefer, and Joe Bailon, an automobile customer who invented the color Candy Apple Red.
Book an RV in Placer County and you are ready to enjoy the legendary summers that California is so famous for. There are some other towns and cities that are worth looking around in, such as Auburn, which is a mecca for hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders, and home to the 100-mile/161-km Western States trail running race and other endurance sports events. Coloma's scenery makes it a popular destination for wedding events. Folsom was originally named Granite City but was renamed after its founder, Joseph Libbey Folsom, following his death in 1855. Rancho Cordova took approximately 20 years to incorporate before finally being included on the ballot in November 2002. Roseville was a railroad town for decades in the early 20th century, until technological advancements created new business and employment opportunities in the 1950s. Your Newcastle RV trailer rental is your invitation to see the history of these areas in person.
Hidden Falls Regional Park is a semi-developed recreational area with clearly marked hiking trails and proper bridges. Picnic tables and restrooms are located periodically along the trails for visitors' use, and the trails are open to hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders. There are waterfalls within the park, which can be accessed from the trails and viewed from observation decks. The park is open during the daytime year-round. Keep your Newcastle RV rental nearby and you can spend an entire day here, returning to comfort when you are done.
Black Hole of Calcutta Falls Trailhead is a rustic undeveloped recreational trail suitable for hiking and horseback riding; it is open all year round and has no set hours, although it is strongly recommended that you finish hiking the trail before dark. The trail follows the North Fork American River and, in some places, the remains of an old railroad track. It is an easy hike suitable for families with young children; the falls near the end of the trail are your reward.
Folsom Lake State Recreation Area is a scenic open space park with flowers, undergrowth, and tree stands lining the southeast shoreline of Folsom Lake. The trails within the park are suitable for hiking, biking, and horseback riding; the beach area is suitable for swimming and picnicking, while the lake allows for boating, fishing, and windsurfing. Camping is allowed, and there are restrooms and showers available as well as food services.
There are several RV parks and campgrounds in or near Newcastle, but some of these may include long-term rentals and some may also include stationary mobile homes. Your Newcastle travel trailer rental is all you will need to make any of these accommodations match your requirements perfectly.
Loomis RV Park is a rustic, natural RV campground which offers rentals by the day, week, or month. The park has restrooms with showers, laundry facilities, and a playground for young children. There is a swimming pool and some individual sites have full hookups, pull through access, and metered propane.
Folsom Lake State Recreational Area also provides some RV sites with hookups and a dumping station. This park may also have tent camping too and is mostly a rustic area with some basic amenities.
There are many things to do in and around Newcastle; in fact, your biggest decision might be which activities to exclude. Visitors to this area should start with a tour of the historical architecture, which includes several museums and a courthouse. There are several vineyards and wineries, a brewery that has indoor and outdoor seating, and food trucks. One historical site is a rock quarry that supplied much of the granite used to build structures in San Francisco and other cities, structures that are still standing today. It has a pool at the bottom; visitors can climb around the quarry and have a picnic lunch afterward. Don't forget to end your vacation with a Newcastle motorhome rental road trip around the local highways, which is how RV vacations began and remained so classic.
The selection of places to eat in and around Newcastle is every bit as good as its activities, with cafes and pizzerias, bistros and wine bars, and more. One family diner specializes in traditional western fare; there is nothing surprising on the menu, but items are well prepared and in large portions. Breakfasts are their signature items but there are lunch items too; diners who find their way here should try the chicken fried steak with eggs (breakfast and dinner on one plate). Another local burger joint serves their hamburgers grilled instead of broiled and includes the option of sweet potato fries, sliced but not peeled. Diners chowing down here should seriously consider trying the gouda mac 'n' cheese. You will more than likely find yourself taking some of your meal home to your Newcastle luxury RV rental but this is an additional reward; a late night snack of quality foods enjoyed in lawn chairs under a summer sky.
