    Happy Camper Blog

    Theme parks
    offer plenty of fun for all ages, and it’s easy to include a visit to one in
    your next camping trip. Here are some top picks around the country that have
    RV parks and campgrounds nearby:

    LEGOLAND | Carlsbad,
    California

    Conveniently located one hour north of downtown San Diego and one
    hour south of Anaheim, LEGOLAND is a brick builders dream. Targeted toward
    families with kids ages 2-12, the 128-acre park offers more than 60
    interactive rides, shows and attractions. A highlight of the park are the
    more than 30,000 LEGO models created from over 62 million LEGO bricks. The
    park also includes the Imagination Zone, an area that emphasizes exploring
    and creation where guests can play LEGO games and build their own
    masterpieces.

    Schlitterbahn Water Parks | Texas
    (4 locations)

    Schlitterbahn (a made-up word that combines the German words for
    “slippery” and “road”) is a collection of water parks primarily located in
    Texas that offer a wide variety of attractions. New Braunfels is home to the
    Boogie Bahn, a ride where boogie boarders test their surfing skills against
    water moving 50,000 gallons of water a minute. The beachfront Padre Island
    location features the Schlitterbahn’s innovative Transportainment River
    system which is designed to maximize guests’ time in the water and eliminate
    lines. It’s a river system that connects eight different water attractions.
    The Galveston Island location has been voted as the “World’s Best Indoor
    Water Park” for eight straight years. One feature of the Corpus Christi
    location is the Aqua Veyer conveyer that eliminates the need for guests to
    carry their tubes back up to the highest point of the river so they can come
    back down again. Schlitterbahn operates a fifth location in Kansas City,
    Kansas.
