Another great camp: Monetecito
On the Thursday night before last Memorial Day weekend we decided we had to get outdoors but didn't want to face huge crowds (that ruled out Yosemite -- for that weekend anyway.) I poked around the web for campsites or homes to rent near Kings Canyon & Sequoia National Parks. I was really lucky to stumble upon Montecito Sequoia Lodge -- they had availability and it's an awesome place to take a family. It straddles the boundary of both parks so you everything is right at your doorstop. There's a lake, tons of activities, a dining hall where all the meals are served buffet style (the food is great and you don't have to cook! woo-hoo). We did a couple of day hikes, toured the giant trees (found in both parks), and spent the afternoon splashing in the King River which runs through King's Canyon. At night there are evening activities -- the 2 nights we were there we and the kids got to enjoy an astronomy lesson and a family dance.

Would love to go!
Another great article from the team at Travelmuse! I had no idea something like this existed, and I look forward to booking a week when my children are both walking. A week without dishes, and cooking but with childcare? Heaven!
