When it comes time to choose where to park your Santa Ynez motorhome rental, there are plenty of beautiful places to set up camp throughout this region either close to town and daily life or off the beaten path and in the heart of nature. There are multiple RV parks dotted along the Santa Barbara South Coast, making it easy to settle in by Central California’s pristine shoreline. If a beachside park beckons you, about an hour away from Santa Barbara is Jalama Beach County Park, a campground offering sites that overlook the Pacific Ocean and come equipped with electrical hookups, a picnic table and BBQ pit, and nearby showers and water. Should you need any supplies or services, the Jalama Beach Store and Grill offers conveniences ranging from food to firewood to fishing bait. Head inland in your Santa Ynez camper rental to seek refuge and a more rustic camping experience in the mighty Los Padres National Forest. You may wish to consider staying at McGill, which is the area's largest and most RV-friendly campground. There are no hookups offered, but this is a great place to be if you want to step right out your RV door and have immediate access to the forest environment. There are several convenient, short hiking trails leading away from the campsite, including the McGill Campground Trail Exploration Trail and Mt. Pinos Trail. You also have the option of staying at the Santa Barbara Sunrise RV Park, a small and friendly family-run RV park with full hookups and water/sewer, plus free WiFi and cable available at every space. Sunrise is located right in the city, making this site a great place to enjoy the comforts of a more urban accommodation with close access to everything in Santa Barbara.

When you rent an RV in Santa Ynez, explore the town to be transported back to a bygone era while also enjoying plenty of modern-day conveniences. Stroll the charming streets of downtown to see 1880s-era wood building facades, walkways embedded with horseshoes and hitching posts, honkytonk saloons and feed stores, as well as contemporary shops and galleries with Western-inspired artwork and memorabilia. Don’t miss a visit to the Santa Ynez Valley Historical Society Museum and Parks-Janeway Carriage House, where you can learn about the Valley’s deeply rooted history from an artifact collection, exhibits, and educational programs that teach about the indigenous Chumash people and the early Spanish settlers and pioneers that established the county's five towns. Experience more of the area’s Old West heritage by taking a hike in fresh mountain air to Manzana Schoolhouse and Dabney Cabin, one of the area’s turn-of-the-century homesteads. See the lay of the land and try your skills at horsemanship by saddling up for a magnificent ride through the surrounding hills and vineyards, or experience the region from a bird’s eye view with a ride in a hot air balloon. Early birds and night owls can find 24/7 indoor fun at nearby Chumash Casino Resort, where you can catch a live show or try your luck at the slot machines and table games at a venue nestled in the wine country. After a day of adventuring, seek refuge at tranquil vineyard settings and savor famous Central Coast wine paired with a picnic, or when hunger strikes you’ll find delicious culinary delights to please any palate, ranging from casual country-style feasts to five-star dining experiences. If you’re dreaming of a laid-back lifestyle and country-western adventure, consider a Santa Ynez travel trailer rental and enjoy California’s peaceful landscapes and historical towns.
