Porady dla podróżnych

Poruszanie się po okolicy

The train station is one mile from Basecamp.

Take the train west all the way to the Oceanside. Hang out there or hop on another one to explore more coastal cities from San Diego to Los Angeles. It also stops in Anaheim not too far from Disney.
Co spakować

Believe it or not, it does get cold here at night.

Pack a light jacket for summer and fall nights and a heavier one for winter and spring.
Nie przegap

The best thing about Basecamp.

You can get to anywhere from Base Camp. You can watch the sunset from the ocean, watch the elephants at the zoo or the whales at sea world. We are just a drive away from the mountains and Disneyland. If you like beer, we are a hub for local small breweries. The possibilities are endless.
