Discover Albany RV rentals for memorable road trips

The city of Albany is located on the San Francisco Bay between Richmond and Oakland along Interstate 80. The story of how the city began is quite entertaining, starting with an armed group of local women who lived in the neighborhoods on Berkeley’s waterfront. The women grabbed a bunch of shotguns to stop carriages full of garbage from dumping their trash from Berkeley on their beloved coastal area. From that point on, the women of this neighborhood sought to create their own town and formally incorporated as Ocean View. It would later be changed to Albany in honor of Albany, New York to differentiate from the Ocean View neighborhood of Berkeley.

Outdoors Adventures

The San Francisco Bay Area is home to incredible wildlife sanctuaries, conservation lands, and public parks in an effort to preserve the beauty of the community. Siesta Valley Recreation Area is a short drive east through Berkeley and one of the closest places to get out into nature with your Albany camper rental. The hills at Siesta Valley overlook the bay for some pretty stunning views and even better hiking. The park is home to the California Shakespeare Festival that ideally suits the rustic, natural setting.

RV Parks to Visit

<p>Campgrounds and RV parks are easy to come by in California, especially near large city centers, so keep an eye out for places like Tradewinds RV Park. Tradewinds has spacious campsites, a large library, and a clubhouse complete with modern amenities. Treasure Island RV Park is located in San Francisco, so walking to any of the area's top restaurants and attractions is a breeze. San Francisco RV Resort is located on the water, with a swimming pool, BBQ/picnic area, and clubhouse for guests. This place is found south of the city, giving visitors the best of both worlds.</p>

City Sightseeing

You can opt to travel around the Bay Area with your Albany RV rental and see the different cities like San Jose, San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley, or simply stay put in Albany: there is no wrong way to vacation in the area. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, breweries, and shops in the “Urban Village by the Bay”, but neighboring cities have the finest attractions worth checking out. Oracle Arena in Oakland is home to the Golden State Warriors, an NBA franchise among the league's most popular teams. The electric atmosphere is a fun place to cheer on the local team, or perhaps the opposing team should they be from your hometown.

Steffen is a responsive host and makes sure the van is prepared with water, propane, etc. I used it for a meditation retreat so wasn't moving around a lot but driving it to the retreat center was a breeze and it met all of my needs while on the retreat.

This was our first time camping and David made everything go smoothly. He was very communicative leading up to our delivery, and set everything up on time. Trailer worked great and we had a great time at Casini Ranch!
