What you should know
Summer temperatures: The Central Valley experiences extreme heat during summer months, often exceeding 100°F between June and September.

Tips from RVers
Overnight positioning: Strategic site selection improves comfort during brief stays. "I have stayed at this RV park several times as a stop over for the night.
