While California vacations offer thousands of opportunities in every price range, summers are the toughest time to find a deal. And that would be now! Nevertheless, with a bit of checking around and flexible travel, you can find some cheap rooms, affordable hotels and vacations that are pretty nice.
Where you won't find a deal: Yosemite National Park in the Summer isn't that cheap. But there are some cabins outside the park that are offering decent rates.
Santa Barbara (or Solvang) on weekends it not too cheap, so check out hotel rooms at Ventura or Oxnard instead.
Week day deals out in the desert aren't that bad. Why? It's too darned hot.
For history tours, gold country, etc., try some hotels outside Sacramento in Rancho Cordova, for instance.
Southern California isn't cheap, but there are soft spots. One deal we've been seeing is in the renovated Hotel Maya in Long Beach. It's perfect for a jaunt to Catalina Island or a weekend of nightlife on Pine Avenue.
Have you heard of Vacaville & Fairfield? Check them out for Jelly Bean Tours, Six Flags, Wine Country and more.
This is the start of your thinking outside the box this summer. Believe it or not, you'll find some unique, worthwhile destinations you never considered till now, when the money is tight.
If you read our blog posts about some crazy summer events, you'll find a whole lot going on, some for free, in towns and cities such as Tulare, Santa Maria and San Juan Bautista.
