With 4 nights to fill-in between our departure from Palm Springs, and our arrival in San Diego, we fairly randomly picked Temecula. As it turns out, there’s a lot to see and do in Temecula. Based on a personal recommendation and RV Life reviews, we’re parked at the Pechanga Casino RV Resort. Located nearly in the shadow of the casino hotel towers, this is a modern RV resort with full hookups, pools, dog parks and even some “elite” sites that include a gazebo, built-in BBQ and firepit. Mature landscape provides nice shade and lush grassy areas. During our stay the pacific “atmospheric river” brought plenty of rain over the Santa Anas, but we still enjoyed our stay. Rates during this prime season run about $90/night and up. Pechanga is a Passport America member, and with proper planning rates are around $40/night.
There’s plenty to do in Temecula – We enjoyed the shops and restaurants in Old Town, especially dinner of tasty pizza at the Goat & Vine. And, no visit to Temecula would be complete without some wine tasting. We had a wonderful lunch in the barrel room cave at the nearby Oak Mountain Winery. Over at the casino, with 10 dining options from the upscale Great Oak Steakhouse to a Sushi & Oyster Bar, Pan-Asian, Italian and the 1882 Mexican Cantina where we enjoyed our departure day breakfast.
From Temecula we’re headed to Sun Outdoors RV resort on San Diego Bay. More from the west coast!
