3 Essential Tips on How to Prepare for your Big Bear Trip

Lassie, The Parent Trap, Old Yeller– what do these movies have in common? They all feature a beautiful lake with a stunning mountain in the background and were shot in Big Bear. This South California destination is not only famous for its breathtaking views but also for the vast array of activities for people of all ages. All year round, there are exciting things to do and places to visit.

Several Big Bear lakefront cabin rentals can be your home away from home. These rentals have amenities that ensure a fun and safe vacation. If you decide to check off Big Bear from your “must travel” list, here are a few essential tips to ensure a safe and fun trip.

  • Make Your Reservations Early

The saying, “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail” also applies to vacations. You may reserve the activities a month or two in advance to get the best deals and to secure a slot. Not being able to book a boat for a planned fishing trip, for example, may dampen everyone’s spirits.

If you are planning on visiting Big Bear during holidays such as Fourth of July or Christmas, do not wait until the last minute to book one of the Big Bear lakefront cabin rentals. An early booking will give you a chance to choose a cabin with the best view of the fireworks or secure access to the ski slopes.

  • Shop for Groceries at Big Bear

Do not to stuff your car with groceries. You may pack some snacks for the journey going up the mountains and ingredients for a meal or two. Big Bear has two grocery stores for all your needs: Stater Brothers and Vons. There are also two smaller food shops for your convenience. ‘

Before heading out to Big Bear, plan your meals and list down the ingredients that you will be needing. Do not forget to include toiletries since some cabins do not provide them. If you have a baby, do not forget to include his stash of diapers and wipes.

The cabins have barbeque grills and an equipped kitchen. It would be a great experience to prepare hearty meals for your family amidst an inspiring landscape. There may also be times when you want to skip meal preparations and try out one of the restaurants in the village. Consider this in your plans as well.

  • Keep Road and Weather Conditions in Check

Weather conditions may change in a heartbeat, but you can still enjoy your vacation if you prepare for it. If you plan to go during the winter, remember to check the road conditions at the start of your journey. Also, have your car’s tires fitted for snow chains and learn how to use them in case of heavy snow.

During peak seasons, be ready to leave early in the morning so you won’t experience heavy traffic that may rain on everyone’s parade. You may check traffic updates so you can decide on the best route to use.

A Big Bear vacation, whether with family or friends, is a once and a lifetime experience., so you need to prepare for it. There may be a few hits and misses along the way, but a well-planned trip will make it all worthwhile.
