The Great Outdoors
You don’t have to venture far to experience Carpinteria’s natural wonders, with the Carpinteria State Beach right on your doorstep.

Lifeguards patrol the mile-long stretch of sand throughout the year, with gray whales occasionally seen migrating along the coast between mid-December and mid-April.

If you’re looking for RV rentals in Santa Barbara County, consider a stay at the Carpinteria State Beach Park.

We had the most amazing time! The van was spacious, the bed was comfortable and having a bathroom while camping is amazing! We will 100% be renting this van again! Can’t stop talking about how wonderful our trip was!

We are so happy with our rental from Brett! Every aspect of this rental was easy. He delivered it to my sister's house prior to our arrival and picked it up on our last day. He was incredibly friendly and always responsive to messages. The RV was the perfect choice for our stay because we wanted to spend as much time with my sister's family but 8 people in one house would have been too crowded. The beds were really comfortable and our family of 4 had plenty of room for all of our things. We were very grateful for the air conditioning at night as the weather was quite warm during our stay. We would definitely rent from Brett again.
