We have a couple in mind you’re sure to love. Continue reading to learn more about the best states to vacation in June and where to stay nearby.
If you’re looking for a June vacation with chilly weather, we’re sorry to disappoint. The best states to visit in June all offer warm sunshine, blue skies, and temperatures in the 80s and 90s. In fact, these getaways are full of outdoor adventures, stunning natural beauty, and charming towns waiting to be explored. But which states make for the perfect summer vacation? For an unforgettable warm weather retreat, head to North Carolina, Florida, or Hawaii, where you’ll find no shortage of summer fun for all ages.
If a vacation in the great outdoors sounds like a dream, consider booking a getaway to North Carolina. North Carolina is among the best states to visit in June for its breathtaking scenery, sprawling national parks, and endless outdoor activities. One of the main attractions for out-of-state visitors is the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and besides the beautiful Outer Banks on the coast, we believe this park is the gem of North Carolina.
Straddling the border between North Carolina and Tennessee, this stunning landscape is the most popular park in the United States. Spend the warm summer days exploring countless hiking trails, mountain biking, and soaking in the stunning views of the lush green, misty mountain tops and blooming wildflowers. Even outside the park’s perimeter, North Carolina remains an outdoor playground. Go horseback riding down scenic trails, embark on a thrilling whitewater rafting adventure through Carolina rapids, or bask in the sunshine from your paddleboard on a still lake.
Have a look at the top North Carolina attractions below, and check out one of the best places to stay near the action: Huffman Creek Retreat.
A stay at Huffman Creek Retreat in Robbinsville, North Carolina, is the perfect way to top off your trip to one of the best states to visit in June. Not your traditional hotel, Huffman Creek Retreat is a secluded cabin escape in the heart of Appalachia. This one-of-a-kind getaway boasts seven unique cabins tucked along an enchanting creek in a rustic wooded area. These Robbinsville cabins sleep parties big and small and feature all the comforts of home.
This sprawling property boasts miles of scenic trails, creekside hammocks, crackling fire pits, cascading waterfalls, and a pavilion for gathering. Not to mention, Huffman is just minutes from top area attractions like the Tail of the Dragon and Cherohala Skyway scenic drives and Lake Santeetlah, where water sports abound. So, enjoy a cup of coffee on your front porch, wildlife watching and listening to the murmur of the creek, or strap on your boots and discover the natural beauty of Robbinsville for yourself.
Up next on the list of best states to visit in June is Florida, the Sunshine State. Despite the characteristic humid weather, Florida is the ultimate vacation destination for summertime. With miles and miles of gold and white sand beaches, Florida is an obvious choice for some much needed beach time. Many of Florida’s coastal towns, like Cocoa Beach, Clearwater Beach, and New Smyrna, boast soft, sandy beaches, waterfront restaurants, and laid-back local shops.
Of course, few people can think of Florida without the theme parks in Orlando and Kissimmee. If you’re looking for thrills, Florida has what you need. When you’re not lazing on the beach, drink butter beer in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, or explore top parks like EPCOT and Magic Kingdom. This region of Florida, as well as many others, is also famed for its beautiful golf courses and natural springs, featuring crystal clear waters. Top springs include such as Blue Springs and Wekiwa Springs State Park.
However, there’s more to Florida than stunning beaches, golf courses, and theme parks. A trip south of Kissimmee brings you to the unincorporated community of River Ranch, Florida, where you’ll find another one-of-a-kind glamping experience.
Experience Florida in a whole new way at Westgate River Ranch, a one-of-a-kind glamping resort and authentic dude ranch. Not only is Westgate River Ranch a comfortable home base for your Florida adventures, but it’s also a top attraction with countless fun events. This Wild West experience includes a lively Saturday night rodeo, an adventure park, and a saloon that knocks local breweries out of the park. Never leave the resort with delicious on-site dining, and spend time in nature with trail rides, a full-service marina, a catch-and-release pond, and so much more. Check out Westgate River Ranch activities here.
And after a day of airboat rides through beautiful scenery or sunning by the pool, you’ll be happy to retreat to your comfortable accommodations. With Westgate-style luxury, these accommodations include everything you need for a spectacular getaway. Choose from Florida glamping accommodations like luxe teepees and wagons, or opt for a cozy cabin or suite. However you vacation here at River Ranch, you’ll quickly see why Florida is one of the best states to visit in June.
Miles from the West Coast is the breathtaking island of Hawaii. Surprisingly, June is less crowded than the other peak summer months in Hawaii, making it one of the best states to visit in June! Hawaii’s Big Island is a haven for travelers craving a tropical summer escape. This island has four of the world’s climate zones, from the wet tropics of the rainforest to the polar tundra at the snowcapped heights of the Big Island’s two active volcanoes. So, adventure and breathtaking views abound here for the curious explorer.
Explore the lava fields and all-encompassing views within the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Or head to award-winning oceanfront golf courses, such as the Mauna Kea Golf Course, for a peaceful day on island greens and fairways. You may also indulge in a day of shopping and waterfront dining in bustling Honolulu, or step back in time with historic sites like Hulihe’e Palace. But just like Florida, there is no shortage of beautiful beaches on Hawaii’s Big Island. Walk the shore path and snorkel at beloved beaches like Kailua Bay or Kekahakai State Park, or make the scenic hike down to Papakolea Beach, one of four beaches in the world with volcanic green sand, for a once in a lifetime beach day.
There’s so much to see and on Hawaii’s Big Island, you’ll just have to experience it for yourself. Check out can’t-miss activities and destinations on the Big Island, as well as one of the best places to stay at nearby.
Nestled in a quieter part of Hawaii’s Big Island is Pacific 19 in gorgeous Kailua Kona. As the best boutique hotel on the Big Island, Pacific 19 makes for a relaxing, rejuvenating vacation experience in Hawaii, one of the best states to visit in June. Just steps from Kailua Bay, guests of Pacific 19 welcomes independent travelers to their newly renovated and re-envisioned 1970s hotel for an authentic island experience away from the busy tourist areas and big city.
When you’re not sunbathing on Kailua Bay, just a three-minute walk away, relax on the sun-drenched pool deck, featuring luxurious loungers and umbrellas. Or, start your day with a steaming cup of Kona coffee at the on-site cafe, or catch up on work in the cozy lobby lounge. Not to mention, Pacific 19 offers guests curated travel itineraries and one-of-a-kind experiences unique to the island, such as a Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary Hike, Hawaii food tour, or a Shark Dive Eco Tour.
