California RV Destinations

Summer is the perfect time to book Los Angeles motorhomes rentals and explore The Golden State. With the beautiful sunny weather, when taking on a California RV rentals road trip, you will need to devise a plan on how to beat the heat.

Even though California may be most famous for its many beaches dotting the Pacific Coast, there are many beautiful, refreshing, and relaxing lakes to visit in your Los Angeles RV rental as well. What follows are six favorites lakes from the California RV rentals experts at Expedition Motorhomes.

Lake Tahoe

It should come as no surprise that Lake Tahoe is one of the best lakes to visit with your Los Angeles motorhomes. As the largest alpine lake in the country, this beautiful body of water is nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Lake Tahoe offers everything from rustic to luxury campgrounds, motor-boating to standup paddleboarding, and quiet campfires to robust nightlife.

Big Bear Lake

One of California’s finest lakes is located just a hop, skip, and jump from Los Angeles. Its location makes it the perfect quick getaway in your LA motorhome rental. Not only does Big Bear Lake boast a plethora of beaches and hiking trails, but it is also a great boating lake. Furthermore, its beautiful location sits in the mountains at 6,700’!

Mammoth Lakes Basin

If you are traveling with passionate hikers, point your motorhome, Los Angeles, to Mammoth Lakes. You will be able to explore the Mammoth Lakes Basin. You can drive to a few of these small mountain lakes. However, for even more solitude and beauty you can put in some miles in your hiking boots and access the many jewels tucked back in mountain valleys.

Mono Lake

For the geologically or ornithology-minded, or for those visiting Yosemite National Park in their California RV rental, Mono Lake is a must-visit. Tufa towers make for an incredibly unique landscape. The brines shrimp in the water are a major attractant to migratory birds. Additionally, the high alkalinity makes for fun buoyant swimming.

Lake Shasta

From hidden coves to sprawling rivers and fingers, Lake Shasta is the perfect body of water for those travellers wired for exploration. As California’s largest reservoir there is no shortage of secrets to uncover. The shoreline and adjacent forests are riddled with spectacular places to park your LA motorhomes.

Bass Lake

Bass Lake is north of Fresno in the Sierra National Forest and provides a warmer alternative to other Sierra lakes. With excellent hiking, fishing, and swimming opportunities Bass Lake is a great California RV rentals destination for the entire family.

What Customers Say

Melissa

California

It was awesome. It was so great. It was so fantastic. We loved the RV. It was so accommodating. It was only three of us: [me] my husband and my son and we had a wonderful time. Thank you for renting to us and we will definitely be renting again.

Chris

California

From Toronto, Canada. We came down to Expedition to pick up an RV for a special surfing vacation for my son here who turned 15 this week. I gotta tell ya, it’s been an awesome experience. We went up the coast to Santa Barabara and down. We had perfect sites of the beach; looking at the ocean. He got a chance to experience surfing the California way – an overall great experience. RV was just the way to go. Made it a beautiful experience for us. The people at Expedition were perfect; helped us out throughout… were very kind and generous and we just had a great vacation because of it. So I recommend anyone whose thinking about it… Definitely call Expedition. You’ll enjoy it and you won’t regret it.

We flew from Europe and rented a motor home from ExpeditionMotorHomes.com. And, it was a fantastic experience from start to end. When we arrived, we had… the staff was very friendly; taught us how to use the motor home. They had videos online you can practice with and look at. And the actual trip, the quality of the motor home was perfect. This was the first time for my family and I and it will not be the last. We will be doing this again and obviously from the same supplier because everything from start to finish was perfect.

I have rented from this company seven times in the last eight years. They do an amazing job. Most recently, I had errored on my departure date (I should have looked at the contract when they sent it to me!) and when I arrived a day early, they accommodated me. Thank you, Matt, for making a year without Martin easy! I recommend this company to anyone wanting to rent an RV. It’s so much easier than you think.

California

The Expedition Motorhome family took great care of our family. This is our third straight year renting trailers and RV’s from Expedition and we wouldn’t go anywhere else. They are a small shop with big customer service. The RV’s are in great condition on the inside and under the hood. We drive to the Tahoe area from LA every year and they make the long haul with no problems. We camped with other families who rented from other vendors and had nothing but problems. See you next year!

We had a great experience with Expedition Motor Homes. My family and I rented an RV for a weekend camping trip, something we had never done before. The staff was extremely helpful and informative, and everything went smoothly. The RV was in great working order, very clean and great looking. We will definitely rent from the again in the future!

This was our first rental from Expedition. Everything went smoothly. They had excellent customer service from the beginning to the return. The RV we rented was in great condition, with the exception of a few minor issues. These issues didn’t cause any trouble, and I know they will have them fixed for the next renter. We are already looking forward to our next RV vacation, and we will be sure to use Expedition!
