RV rental Claremont, CA: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Claremont lies just minutes from the San Gabriel mountains which have been a magnet for travelers for decades. A rental motorhome near Claremont provides the perfect base for exploring and enjoying this scenic retreat. The San Gabriels are located within the Angeles National Forest, one of the few remaining open spaces in Los Angeles County. Traveling through the park is easy and there are dozens of RV-friendly campgrounds to choose from. The park offers plenty of scenic drives, including the Angeles Crest Highway, which is considered by car enthusiasts to be one of the best drives in the country. Plenty of scenic overlooks and picnic spots will allow you to take in stunning views of the snow-covered mountain peaks from the climate-controlled luxury of a Claremont motorhome rental. The Angeles National Forest has over 560 miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails for those seeking to get closer to nature. The park hosts over 170 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail, which extends from southern California to the Canadian border. Experienced hikers and climbers can tackle Mt. Baldy, the highest peak in the San Gabriels. Multiple trails ascend to the summit of Mt. Baldy (10,064 feet!) and one even gets assistance from a ski lift to finally reach the top. Runners might want to use their Claremont travel trailer rental to rest up for the annual “Run to the Top”, a challenging seven-mile run up Mt. Baldy held every Labor Day.  Another quirky and popular hike is the Bridge to Nowhere hike, a 10-mile loop which reaches its conclusion at an abandoned bridge in the western San Gabriel mountains. The hike may be long but the trail fords several rivers offering chances to refresh in the cool mountain waters. For an easier hike, park your rental camper in the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park and enjoy the five-mile walking loop. Although tucked close to the city, the Wilderness Park offers RV renters ample opportunity for wildlife viewing. Deer, coyotes, bear, rattlesnakes, and even bobcats are familiar critters in the park. Water enthusiasts will find plenty of options around Claremont. Kayakers and fishermen can stop their travel trailer rental along one of the forks of the San Gabriel River. Along the way, you’ll pass through steep canyons, waterfalls, and secluded swimming or fishing holes. RVers can also cool off at the Puddingstone Reservoir, in nearby San Dimas, a 250-acre lake with a slew of activities including sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, fishing, and swimming.  Winter sports enthusiasts can turn their Claremont RV rental by owner into a ski lodge. The San Gabriel Mountains are chocked full of downhill and cross-country skiing, snow tubing, and snowmobiling opportunities. Downhill skiing can be found at Mt. Baldy, Mt. Waterman, Snowcrest Snowpark, and many other spots easily reached from your RV rental in Claremont, CA. Claremont is also a great starting point for longer trips to some of Southern California’s most popular places. Claremont is just two hours west of Joshua Tree National Park , where you can explore the unique desert landscapes that made the park one of the icons of the American West. Along the way, take a detour to visit one of the numerous ghost towns on the strange and surreal Salton Sea. Two hours north of Claremont, you can park your camper rental on the outskirts of Edwards Air Force Base, a hotspot for plane spotters and even UFO buffs. If none of these options appeal to your sense of adventure, just head out and get lost in some classic California desert.
