Two national parks celebrate milestone March birthdays

Did you know that five of our nation’s most treasured national parks celebrate their birthdays in March?

Two of these parks will mark special milestone birthdays this year. Read on to discover which ones. Then plan a visit!

Channel Islands National Park

An oceanic escape. Channel Islands National Park was officially established on March 5, 1980. That means this year marks its 45th anniversary. This unique park—comprising five of the eight Channel Islands off Southern California—celebrates spring with turquoise Pacific waters and breathtaking scenery.

Location. Located off the Southern California coast, the park is your gateway to rugged sea caves, pristine beaches, and abundant marine life.

RV camping tips. Since camping on the islands isn’t permitted for RVs, consider spending a night on the mainland. RV parks like Sun Outdoors Santa Barbara or Santa Barbara Sunrise RV Park offer excellent facilities, so you can relax before hopping on a ferry to explore the islands by day.

Kings Canyon National Park

Nature’s Grand Showcase. Kings Canyon National Park, which dazzles with towering granite cliffs, deep, dramatic canyons, and ancient giant sequoias, became a national park on March 4, 1940. That means this year will mark the park’s 85th anniversary!

Sierra Nevada gem. Situated in California’s Sierra Nevada, Kings Canyon invites visitors to explore vast wilderness landscapes and enjoy a true back-to-nature experience.

RV camping tips. Campgrounds such as Cedar Grove Campground (located in the adjoining Sequoia & Kings Canyon area) offer a convenient base for exploring the park. In addition, several private RV parks nearby provide full hookups and modern amenities, making it easy to balance adventure with comfort.

You should go!

Birthdays are fun and national parks are amazing! Why not plan to celebrate one of these national parks this month—or even later this year? It’s time to celebrate!
