Summer California Camping Spots

Summer is in full swing, and all across the country people are looking to safely escape into the woods to hit reset and forget about the world for awhile. Thankfully, California is loaded with beautiful camping spots perfect for your Calabasas RVs rental from Expedition Motorhomes. If you are traveling this summer LA motor homes are a good way to go about it. You can remain self contained, stay distant from other travelers, and still get out and experience the wonders of the natural world. Our experts at Expedition Motorhomes have camped all across The Golden State and have plenty of destination recommendations. When it comes to camping, though, it is hard to beat national forest land. Affordable, plentiful, and beautiful – the national forests of Southern California are some of the best in the country. What follows are five of our favorites.

Angeles National Forest

As its name would suggest, the Angeles National Forest comprises over 700,000 acres in Los Angeles County. If you only have a short time to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city in your LA motor home rental, head into the San Gabriel Mountains just outside of town. Within the forest are five designated wilderness areas, picturesque mountains, and trails galore. If time is of the essence, the Angeles National Forest can provide the perfect quick reset!

San Bernardino National Forest

At over 100,000 acres larger than the Angeles National Forest, the San Bernardino National Forest provides even more places to escape into nature. This forest is home to hundreds of miles of trails, wilderness areas, and the San Jacinto, Santa Rosa, and San Bernardino Mountains. If fresh mountain air is what you seek in your Calabasas RVs rental, look no further than San Bernardino!

Los Padres National Forest

Skirting up the coast a bit is the Los Padres National Forest, spanning both Southern and Central California. Coming in at just shy of 2,000,000 acres this national forest is the biggest in the region and has something for everyone. From rugged and beach-lined coast to mountains, forests, and even desert a bit more inland Los Padres is a catchall of natural beauty. Massive in size, it offers many places to pull over and enjoy a few quiet evenings in your LA motor home.

Grover Cleveland National Forest

Heading south in the opposite direction is Grover Cleveland National Forest. Small in comparison – it comprises under 500,000 acres – the Grover Cleveland National Forest packs a punch in other ways. It spans San Diego, Riverside, and Orange counties and is loaded with beautiful hiking trails, especially around Mt. Laguna. Combined with the ever-present sunshine and beautiful weather, this gem of Southern California is definitely worth a visit.

Sequoia National Forest

While maybe not technically in Southern California proper, we would be remiss to not recommend Sequoia National Forest – a short jaunt northeast of Los Angeles. Sequoia is the perfect hot summer destination, as you can find ample shade under the immense canopy of the largest trees in the world. There are plenty of trails to keep you occupied and allow you to explore this arboreal wonderland. If you have the time and it makes sense with your itinerary, Sequoia National Forest is an absolute must.

There are an infinite amount of places to explore in your Calabasas RVs rental, and our experts at Expedition Motorhomes know them all. If you are looking for a quick escape near our headquarters in Los Angeles, check out one of our favorite national forests above. If you have time to explore a little further, what are you waiting for? Now is the time to put rubber to pavement and start making memories!

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

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!
