    My expectations for this trip were absolutely met. My three highlights were Joshua tree national park, I loved the alien, weird vibe that I felt there; the bright angel trail all the way down to the plateau in Grand Canyon; and my first surf lesson in venice beach.

  • M

    Marilyn

    Asked on May 12th, 2024

    I see that this trip involves camping/living on campgrounds - just wondering if this involves sleeping in a tent? Or will we be living in cabins?

    Accommodation
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten May 2024

      This tour involves the following accommodation: Hotel (6 nts), glamping (2 nts), participation camping (9 nts). Accommodation will be varied throughout your adventure. Most of the nights on tour are spent camping in tents in public and private campgrounds, but we will also use permanent canvas tents, twin-share rooms in hostels, and simple motels. All camping equipment (with the exception of your sleeping bag and pillow) is supplied, including comfortable camp mattresses. We supply dome tents that take only 5 minutes to assemble/disassemble. They are good quality, durable, industry-standard, oversized 2-person tents, each with 2 separate and convenient zip-up doors, so that each person has his/her own entrance. We use 2 types of campgrounds in North America: 1. Private campgrounds: These are privately run sites, usually with all services such as fire pits, picnic tables, drinking water, toilets & shower buildings. Some have small outdoor swimming pools and laundry facilities. These campgrounds are typically located near national park entrances or towns. 2. Public campgrounds: These are park-run sites, usually with basic facilities such as fire pits, picnic tables, and drinking water. In some cases, this type of campground doesn't have showers, only pit toilets and a lake! In other locations, toilet and shower facilities may be located outside the campground, or at times in another location a drive away. Some may have shower fees for onsite facilities ($2-6/shower).

    wie ist das Camping organisiert? Wird Zelt, Isomatte etc. gestellt oder muss man volle Ausrüstung dabei haben. Wenn ja, wohin damit den Tag über?
