Trip Planning

California, at 770 miles long, is a destination that can take months to explore. Given its size, one of the best ways to travel around is by RV. This often means you’ll be staying at campgrounds throughout your road trip. Now, there are a number of top RV campgrounds in California so you have to be picky when you choose the right sites to visit. Because this is such an important part of the trip planning process, we’ve put together a list of some of our favorite RV campgrounds for you to enjoy.

Top 5 RV Campgrounds You Should Visit

When it comes to RV campgrounds, quality can vary significantly from place to place. Take the below list into careful consideration when you are choosing campsites to stay at. 1. Newport Dunes RV Park Resort: Located right on the waterfront at the back entrance of the Back Bay nature Preserve, this 110 acre family friendly resort has a ton of activities to enjoy including kayak rentals, movies on the beach, cardboard boat regattas and more. With a one mile beach and full water park, you’ll never have to worry about keeping the kids busy. When it’s time to kick back and relax after a long day of play, the Back Bay Bistro is the place to go for fine dining and ambient patio fires. 2. Jalama Beach RV Resort: Situated one hour outside of Santa Barbara, The Jalama Beach County Park is a great place for soaking up the sun and enjoying the ocean. It is known for its high wind and rough surf, so if you’re looking to catch some waves, you’re in luck! Visitors of Jalama bay routinely enjoy whale-watching, bird watching and fishing for halibut. If you plan to visit these parts, make sure you stop by the Jalama Beach Store and Grill for the “World Famous Jalama Burger”—a must try for any passerby. 3. Campland by the Bay: With a seemingly unlimited amount of things to do at Campland, it’s no surprise this place was rated San Diego’s most popular campground in 2010! This camping wonderland is set along the shores of Mission Bay where you can enjoy beach volleyball, bonfires, sandcastle building contests, swimming pools, Jacuzzis and even a skate park. When you’re done having fun in the sun, you can join your fellow campers for live music and dancing in the evenings. For a full list of things to do at Campland, check out their events calendar. 4. The Palms River Resort: Located on the LA/Nevada border in Needles, California this RV Park is a 5 star gated resort located next to the famous Lake Mohave and Lake Havasu.

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.

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!
