Once you're settled, the area is set up for big sur coastal camping, sierra backpacking, and joshua tree bouldering. California also has 9 national parks — Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon — that make a good anchor for a rv parks trip.

Every rv parks stay below links straight to the operator's own site — we never take a booking or hold your money, so prices and availability you see there are the real ones. Photos and reviews are pulled from public sources and refreshed regularly; if something looks off, use the "verify with operator" link on the listing.
