Discover Auburn RV rentals for memorable road trips

Filled with history, dozens of interesting small towns and a wealth of outdoor recreation opportunities, Northern California is a fantastic place to rent an RV. The little community of Auburn, 30 miles north of California’s capital of Sacramento, might be one of the best towns to start your RV rental adventure. It has retained much of its small-town charm, even in the face of California’s rapid growth. Founded in 1848 as a gold mining camp on the Auburn Ravine, it became the center of California’s gold rush, as the precious metal could be easily extracted from the nearby streams. Today that history is on full display, with many of the landmarks and buildings from the period being preserved for contemporary enjoyment.

We had a great time and a wonderful overall experience with both the van and through James. The training he offers is quick and simple. Van was clean and comfortable even as the weather tried to make us hunker down from time to time. James was very accommodating. We are planning our next adventure and James will be our first go to host. Can't give enough props.

First time renter with outdoorsy and Maddie made it a great experience. Responded quickly, trailer was ready to go and did a walkthrough before taking off. The trailer was perfect for my family and the trip, towed easy, was clean and stocked with the necessities. Will rent again from Maddie!
