February 18, 2022

After winters chill, the warm weather is a welcome change. Melting snow is giving way to sunshine, and the great outdoors is calling your name. Spring break offers you the perfect opportunity to hook up your camper and spend a few days taking in the fresh springtime air and toasting marshmallows over a fire.

Ready to start planning your getaway? Check out our list of the top spring break camping destinations, pack up your INFINITI, and hit the road!

1. Gulf State Park

Located along Alabama's Gulf of Mexico, Gulf State Park is the perfect getaway in the southeastern United States. Shake off the last of your winter blues on the beach, or get moving after a long season of "hibernation mode" with a round of golf on a nearby PGA pro course. Gulf State Park has plenty of RV sites for your camper and is situated close to many popular areas (like Mobile and Orange Beach) in case you'd like to explore restaurants or local culture during your trip.

2. Kaibab National Forest

Of course, you've heard of the Grand Canyon. But have you heard of the national forest that's less than an hour away? While the Grand Canyon National Park can be extremely crowded in the springtime, Kaibab National Forest boasts a quieter camping experience without sacrificing those famous canyon vistas. Some of the forests hiking trails follow the rim of the Grand Canyon, so you can enjoy the views without the buzz of tourists and road traffic. What more could you ask for?

3. Washington, D.C.

Are you reading that correctly? Washington D.C. for a… camping trip? Yes! Take advantage of the month-long National Cherry Blossom Festival activities and camp nearby for a few days. Reserve a site at a nearby campground, or opt for a secluded private campsite and commute into the city to participate in this revered tradition in our nations capital.

4. Myrtle Beach

When it comes to the best RV parks and campsites for your spring break trip, Myrtle Beach is home to some of the most well-loved spring break camping destinations on the east coast. Enjoy the beach by day, and sleep under the canopy of the Myrtle Beach National Forest by night. Depending on which campsite you choose, you can camp within walking distance to both the beach and local tourist attractions, like Ripley's Aquarium and the famous Myrtle Beach SkyWheel.

5. Lake Tahoe

Maybe you'd like a little chill in the air for your springtime camping trip. If so, head west to Lake Tahoe. Enjoy the scenery before the height of summers tourist season - just don't forget your insulated sleeping bag! If you want to venture even further west, take a road trip to Sacramento or San Francisco for a change of scenery (and temperature!).

How to Prep and Pack for Springtime Camping

Once you've picked your destination, its time for the real work: prepping and packing your INFINITI for your spring camping trip. Whether you're towing a trailer or connecting with nature in a hatch tent on the back of your INFINITI, here are some things to check off your list before you hit the road:

• Prep your INFINITI. Make sure your engine and all your INFINITIs systems are up for your road trip with our complete spring maintenance checklist, and check out our handy guide to towing with your INFINITI to help prevent any unpleasant surprises.
• Pack like a pro. Packing efficiently doesn't have to mean skimping on the luxuries you love. Take advantage of every inch of space in (and on) your INFINITI with cargo organizers, luggage racks, kayak carriers, bike racks, and more camping accessories.*
• Upgrade your gear. Your hiking boots are laced up and your backpack is stocked with snacks, but what about your INFINITIs camping gear? Keep your vehicle stocked with an emergency road kit, extra charging accessories for electronic devices, and all-weather floor mats to make things easier both during and after your camping experience.
