Rather than wrapping up yet another sweater, give your travel partners (and yourself) the gift of an unforgettable vacation for the holidays.\u00a0 \u00a0From a weekend in the woods to a bucket-list-worthy road trip, an Escape Campervan is guaranteed to take your winter break vacation from ho-hum to HOORAY!<\/p>\n Not sure where to go?\u00a0 Here are a few winter break campervan trip ideas to get you started… Check out the Escape Camper Vans blog<\/a> for more details and inspiration!<\/p>\n The holiday season in New York is truly one of a kind, and everyone should experience it at least once.\u00a0 Make your home base at one of several year-round campgrounds and RV parks just outside the city and take public transportation in to avoid the hassle of driving and parking.\u00a0 Stroll the streets and take in the festivities – don’t miss the ice skating, Christmas tree, and light display at Rockefeller Center or the holiday window displays at Macy’s.\u00a0 Take in a Broadway show, visit Central Park, or check out a museum.\u00a0 Once you’ve had your fill of the world-famous holiday displays, return to your quiet retreat and get cozy for the night.\u00a0 For the REALLY adventurous (crowd-loving, non-claustrophobic) traveler- New Year’s Eve in New York is THE place to be.\u00a0 Watch the ball drop live in Times Square – without the exorbitant hotel costs to go with it.<\/p>\n The southwest is a bit of a mecca for road trip destinations, and with relatively mild weather it is a great place to spend a Winter break.\u00a0 Start at an Escape depot in Las Vegas<\/a>, Phoenix<\/a>, or Salt Lake City<\/a> and head out to epic National Parks like Joshua Tree, Death Valley, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands, Grand Canyon, or Saguaro (just to name a few).\u00a0 \u00a0Don’t forget Sedona, Grand Staircase Escalante, Monument Valley, or Moab either.\u00a0 If you’re looking for variety and unforgettable adventures you’ve hit the jackpot here!<\/p>\n Ski trips are a very traditional winter break vacation, and for good reason – it IS winter, after all.\u00a0 Add in a dose of adventure and spontaneity and avoid being trapped in one place if the snow conditions aren’t great by heading to the mountains in an Escape campervan.\u00a0 The mountains are a quick drive from depots in Denver<\/a>, San Francisco<\/a>, Portland<\/a>, Seattle<\/a>, Vancouver<\/a>, Calgary<\/a>, New York<\/a>, and Salt Lake City<\/a> – SO much to choose from!\u00a0 If your forecast shifts and the snow is falling a few hours away, hop behind the wheel and chase the powder – don’t miss out if your first mountain choice turned out to be a bust.\u00a0 Staying warm in the van is easy with these tips<\/a> and some extra rental accessories.<\/a><\/p>\n Need an escape from the cold?\u00a0 Head to the Escape depots in Los Angeles<\/a> or Miami<\/a> for some sunshine and waves.\u00a0 With year-round warmth you’ll be sure to find a place to settle down with your toes in the sand.\u00a0 Take your mobile abode on the hunt for the best surf, fishing, palm trees, or pina coladas – whatever your heart desires!<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":25471,"id":25471,"title":"Escape Camper Vans drink holder in
