With winter air chilling the northern states, many of us are looking for a change of scenery. If you're in search of sunshine and warmer weather, try taking a Southern getaway this winter. With diverse destinations offering outdoor fun, a trip to a lower latitude might be just what you need.
Check out these great ideas for Southern destinations to visit!
Take a Texas Christmas vacation this year! The lively city of San Antonio is an ideal spot for a Southern getaway. Near the center of town is The Alamo, perhaps the most historic site in the Southwest. You'll also find the San Antonio River Walk downtown, a wonderful network of plazas and paths lined with shops and restaurants. The River Walk continues out of downtown as a walk-bike path and connects directly to Traveler's World RV Community.
Much more fun awaits in the surrounding area. San Antonio is known for award-winning Texas BBQ joints which you should make an effort to visit. And if you're bringing the whole gang, consider a visit to SeaWorld San Antonio. Located near Sun Retreats San Antonio West, SeaWorld has endless aquatic adventures.
Looking for a Deep South retreat? Head down to the bayous of Louisiana for your Southern vacation at Sun Outdoors New Orleans North Shore. Nestled in Ponchatoula, Reunion Lake is a paradise of fun. Enjoy the extra-large hot tub, private poolside cabana rentals, a tiki bar, and sports like mini golf, basketball, pickleball, and volleyball. Plus, this campground is pet friendly with a fenced-in dog park.
Just 50 miles south of this location is the bustling city of New Orleans. Filled with history, jazz music, and decadent Cajun eats, New Orleans is one of a kind. After exploring the city, be sure to enjoy other unique Louisiana experiences such as bayou tours and the Southern Swamps Byway.
Desert beauty abounds throughout Phoenix. Much of it can be found at the Desert Botanical Garden, a stunning spot for a walk. You might also enjoy the outdoors at South Mountain Park, which features endless hiking trails. For indoor and outdoor attractions, try visiting the Heard Museum for American Indian art or Taliesin West, Frank Lloyd Wright's signature home in Scottsdale.
