Are you in desperate need of a vacation? We feel you. This year has been tough and if you’re not quite ready to take a vacation, a staycation is the way to go. There’s so much you can do on a staycation and all you need is a little bit of creativity to make it more fun. Here are five ideas for your next staycation.

Camping

Camping will give you the change of scenery you’re craving and it’s already socially distant. You can camp in your backyard, at the campground, or even in your living room.

Stay at a Local Hotel, Resort, or Bed-and-Breakfast

If you’re looking for a bit of luxury, head to a local hotel, resort, or bread-and-breakfast. You’ll get the feeling of being on a vacation without having to travel far.

Visit a National, State, or Local Park

Take advantage of national, state, or local parks you have nearby and explore the outdoors. You can hike, bike, climb, kayak, observe wildlife, and have a picnic.

Take a Food Tour

Go on a food tour of your city or a place nearby and try out the restaurants and hotspots you’ve always wanted to try.

Visit Tourist Attractions

Head to the spots tourists frequent like museums, science centers, landmarks, and galleries. Just because they’re close by, doesn’t mean they’re not worth a visit. Chances are you’ve forgotten about these local gems.
