The Best California Parks To Take Your Campervan
California is the perfect destination if you want variety. Where else can you ski in the mountains one day, then drive a few hours and hit the beach the next day? Or sleep under the desert stars tonight and bed down below a canopy of fir trees tomorrow? There’s no better way to experience the variations in California scenery than by stopping at a few of its parks.
California’s gorgeous national parks have long drawn crowds of visitors from all over the world. Who hasn’t heard of Yosemite National Park or seen images of the giant redwood trees in Sequoia National Park? Luckily, the lesser-known parks have just as much to offer. Avoid the crowds and take your Escape campervan to see:
- Lassen Volcanic National Park’s sulphuric vents and red hills.
- Ancient redwoods and foggy coastline at Redwoods National Park.
- The talus caves of Pinnacles National Park.
And don’t forget California’s equally beautiful state parks. Whether you’re up for a hike or other outdoor activities, these parks have activities and camping for everyone;
- Stop for scenic photos at Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park on your Big Sur road trip.
- Soak in the hot mineral pools at Grover Hot Springs State Park.
- Surf and explore beach caves in Leo Carrillo State Park.
At night, pull over and set up camp in a park campsite or find your own secluded corner of nature. Cook dinner on your campervan stove, then stretch out on the comfortable van bed or in a rooftop sleeper and dream about all the fun things to do in California.
California Roadside Attractions You’ll Want To Pull Over For
It’s not a road trip without some pit stops at a quirky roadside attraction or two. California highways are lined with them no matter what direction you go. These are the attractions you stop at to stretch your legs and snap some pictures between the major destinations on your California road trip itinerary. Pick up your California campervan rental in San Francisco and head north, and you can:
- Gawk at the colorful “Flintstone House” and its yard of dinosaur statues in Hillsborough.
- Play pinball for hours at the Pacific Pinball Museum in Alameda.
- Walkthrough Garberville’s One Log House–a house carved out of a single redwood trunk.

- Lemon Grove’s giant lemon, the largest in the world.
- Colorful folk art site Salvation Mountain in Imperial County.

Helpful California Campervan Rentals And Road Trip Tips
Booking a California campervan rental is just one part of an amazing road trip. Use these tips to plan your journey and make the most of this incredible experience.
- Drive a vehicle with enough room to comfortably seat your travel companions and pack your gear. If your own car isn’t ideal for road trips, rent a larger vehicle. Spacious Escape campervans have lots of storage and come in several sizes for different group sizes.
- Create a road trip itinerary and map out everything you want to see beforehand to avoid running out of time and missing something.
- But don’t plan too much. Schedule extra time to travel between destinations and explore your must-see attractions. A campervan gives you flexibility because you don’t have to make and keep hotel reservations.
- If you don’t like crowds, skip the most famous sites and research California’s hidden gems for your itinerary.
- Avoid major cities during rush hour or stick to smaller highways. California has plenty of attractions no matter what route you take.
- Bring plenty of snacks and drinks but plan on sampling local fare too. Unlike an RV, you can park your Escape campervan at any restaurant or store. And of course, you can save money by cooking meals on your campervan’s stove.
