Rethinking National Trails Day Adventures

Hiking

Every summer for National Trails Day encouraging our campers to take a walk or hike the trails onsite and nearby our fabulous campgrounds. This year, we thought we’d put a spin on how you might celebrate National Trails Day all month long and on a different path, of sorts. These are still trails, but they involve a bit more than putting one foot in front of the other. Check out these “trails.”

Food & Drink Trails:

The Door County Wine Trail (doorcountywinetrail.com) features 10 wineries and will also host Door County Wine Fest 2024 on June 22. (Book a stay at Tranquil Timbers Campground to enjoy this Wisconsin wine trail.) If you love BBQ, book a stay at Thousand Trails Hidden Cove in Arley, Alabama as several of the spots on the Alabama BBQ Trail are about an hour’s drive from camp. For a listing visit alabama.travel/trail-details/bbq-trail. How about the Kentucky Bourbon Trail? Spend about a week camping at Thousand Trails Diamond Caverns in Kentucky to experience all the bourbon distilleries along the famed Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Enjoy our Oregon coast campgrounds as you explore the Central Coast Food Trail that includes everything from bread to wine. (Plan your trip at traveloregon.com/things-to-do/eat-drink/oregon-food-trails/central-coast-food-trail/.)

History and Historic Trails:

Boston’s Freedom Trail is a great history lesson about the American Revolution and more that can be experienced on a 2.5-mile urban trail that winds through the city past 16 historic sites. Book a stay at Thousand Trails Sturbridge or any of the Cape Cod Campgrounds  to walk the Freedom Trail. The San Antonio Missions Trail (camp at Thousand Trails Medina Lake) is a hiking and biking trail that connects all five missions, including The Alamo. Several other historic landmarks as well as historic neighborhoods can be seen along the trail as well. Virginia’s Colonial Parkway is a 23-mile trail that links the three parts of the Historic Triangle, Jamestown, Yorktown and Williamsburg. Book a stay at Thousand Trails Williamsburg and bike your way through history.
