3 hr drive
Mojave-Colorado desert collision with surreal twisted trees and granite boulders. Jumbo Rocks and Black Rock campgrounds inside the park take RVs but offer no hookups. The 3-hour drive north on I-15 to I-10 to CA-62 is best October-April.
Big Sur
8 hr drive
Big Sur
8 hr drive
Ninety miles of cliff-hung coastline between San Simeon and Carmel. RV campgrounds are scarce — Pfeiffer Big Sur and Plaskett Creek both book months ahead. The 8-hour drive north on US-101 is long — split into two days with a stop at Pismo Beach or Morro Bay.
Salton Sea & Slab City
2 hr drive
Salton Sea & Slab City

Largest California lake (and shrinking) — birding hotspot, fish die-offs, and the eccentric snowbird-and-artist community at Slab City. Bombay Beach has informal RV camping. The 2-hour drive east on I-8 to CA-86 enters the sea's north shore.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest RV rental in San Diego?
Compact campervans typically start from around $95/night at San Diego depots, depending on season and supplier. Booking 4–8 weeks ahead generally locks in the best rate, especially in peak summer.
Is San Diego RV rental cheaper in advance?
Yes — booking 4–8 weeks before pickup typically secures lower rates than booking close to your trip, and gives you a wider choice of vehicle types and pickup dates.
What age do I need to be to rent an RV in San Diego?
Most United States suppliers require a minimum age of 21. Some operators set the minimum at 25, especially for larger Class A motorhomes. A standard driver's license is accepted from most countries; check your supplier's specific requirements at booking time.
What's included in the price?
Headline prices include the base rental rate and standard insurance (collision damage waiver and theft protection). Optional extras like additional mileage packages, generator hours, kitchen kits, bedding bundles, and one-way fees can be added at booking or at the counter.
Can I return my RV to a different location?
Yes — most major US and Canadian suppliers offer one-way rentals. A one-way fee may apply depending on the route and time of year. Compare options at search time to see which routes are available.
What's the mileage allowance?
Standard rentals usually include a daily mileage allowance (typically 100 miles/day). Unlimited-mileage packages and prepaid mileage bundles are available from most suppliers and are worth comparing if you're planning a longer road trip.
