Penryn, California is situated to the northeast of Sacramento and is a small town that first began to be settled in 1864. A granite quarry became the center point of what would one day become Penryn and though the business that ran the quarry had no name, it would one day become known as the Penrhyn Slate Quarry, named after the Welsh name that means ‘headland.’ RV rentals in Placer County offer an amazing opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and some amazing destinations.

Some of those destinations include national forests and parks. For example, Penryn sits just due west of Eldorado National Forest, which nestles up against Lake Tahoe. On the other side of that lake is Carson City, Nevada where one could find plenty of Vegas-style fun amidst the backdrop of photogenic scenery. To the south is Yosemite National Park, Inyo National Forest, and -if you’re up for a bit longer of a drive with that RV rental from Penryn, you can visit Death Valley National Park.

RV Parks

Enjoying a luxury RV rental in Penryn means you’ll need somewhere to spend some nights, especially if you’re looking to head out to some major destinations, like Yosemite or Eldorado National Park. For that, you have some options, including Ponderosa RV Resort located in Lotus, California. They offer water and 50-amp electric service, but no sewer hookups. It’s situated in a stunning location right along the American River and just one mile from Sutter’s Mill, which is where gold was first discovered in California.
