They throw a wonderful Turkey day bash. The chefs cooks the birds and decorates the clubhouse where you can feast with fellow RVers – all you need to do is bring a covered dish for the potluck. We have a really good one for potlucks Broccoli Rice Casserole!
And you can still take in all the Thanksgiving football action while others have fun at the water park. Wekiva falls is the perfect destination for the long weekend with Orlando’s Disney world, Universal Studios, Legoland and more only 30 minutes away!
Finally for the majestic outdoor experience it’s hard to beat Yosemite National Park!
Choose from two opportunities for a Thanksgiving Day meal prepared by world-class chefs while you relax and enjoy the scenery from your dining table in the Ahwahnee Dining Room
Or, for a breathtaking view of the Yosemite Falls, book a table at the Mountain Room inside the Yosemite Lodge.
You are bound to have a fantastic meal and there’s no dishes afterwards!
There are a variety of camping choices when visiting Yosemite but because of popularity, you may have to wait until next year for a spot! Our advice is make reservations now!
