Pechanga RV Resort

The Great Outdoors

It can get super hot in California, so it’s always nice to happen upon a haven from the heat. Lake Skinner Park in Winchester is just that. The popular recreation destination is situated at the base of Bachelor Mountain in the Auld Valley. While here, you can hike, sail, fish, horseback ride, camp, and picnic. Boating is permissible, but it must be non-body contact (no swimming, water skiing, etc.). There are also splash pads for younger children, horseshoe pits, an amphitheater, running trails, and even laundry facilities. Offering expansive natural vistas, several amenities, and invigorating recreational activities, it’s no wonder Lake Skinner is so popular among locals and visitors.But if you’re not afraid of a little heat, then maybe you should head on over to Joshua Park National Park. The place where two distinct desert ecosystems come together, Joshua Tree National Park combines the unique environments of the Mojave and Colorado deserts. The park is home to intensely dark night skies, otherworldly geologic features, and rich cultural history. Whether you’re into rock climbing and bouldering, hiking, camping, photography, or something else, this distinctive desert won’t disappoint. Though it’s a bit over an hour's drive from the campground, it’s only proper that you would visit this national treasure if you’re going to be camping that close to it.Maybe a beach day is in order. If so, head to the coast and visit San Clemente State Beach. The mile-long beach is hugged by a steep bluff and is incredibly scenic. Its strong winds make it the perfect place for windsurfing, kitesurfing, and other water sports. Besides water sports, hiking, biking, fishing, SCUBA diving, snorkeling, wildlife viewing, and swimming are also popular here. After a day out on the water, explore San Clemente’s Spanish Colonial style architecture and pleasant climate.
