Discover Chico RV rentals for memorable road trips

California’s other “City of Roses” is Chico. Meaning “small” in Spanish, Chico’s spirit and fun attitude are anything but. Situated about 90 miles north of Sacramento on the northeast edge of Sacramento Valley, one of the richest farming areas in the world, Chico has rural surroundings coupled with the sophistication of a sizeable city in the downtown area. The stunning Sierra Nevada Mountains lie to the east, and Chico’s eastern city limits meander several miles into the beautiful foothills of this wondrous landscape. The grand Sacramento River is just outside of the city, and offers a myriad of recreational activities.

Experience the Sites and Scenery

Chico really does sit in the middle of some amazing outdoor spaces, and right in the middle of Chico itself is the popular Bidwell Park. Nearly 11 miles in length, following the length of Big Chico Creek, it is the largest municipal park in California and one of the 25 largest city parks in the United States. The lower portion of the creek is a green oasis of meandering creek shoreline, with walking paths and picnic areas. Here you’ll find the Chico Creek Nature Center, with an interpretive center, a native plant garden, natural history exhibits and a rescue for injured wildlife. The upper portion of Bidwell Park is strikingly rugged, with exceptional views of canyons and gorges carved by Big Chico Creek. There are dozens of hiking trails and mountain biking paths.

City Attractions

Chico really is a pretty city, with a historic feel and character that is often missing in more modern cities. This historic feeling is, however, coupled with contemporary offerings to fit all interests. For a city its size, Chico also features a lovely variety of museums, parks and shopping areas.

Where to Park It

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You’ll find great places to park your Chico rental camper. The national forests and recreation areas all offer camping, and there are also numerous private RV parks with amenities like WiFi, cable TV, camp stores, and some even with rental bikes and tours. With many mountain passes in the area, check road conditions before driving your Chico motorhome rental out of the city, especially in the winter months. With plenty of grocery and convenience stores, gas stations, and places to buy camping supplies, it will be easy for you to outfit the Chico travel trailer rental. Several Walmarts are located in the area, including near Highway 99 and E 20th Street.</span></p>

The Food

Chico is in the center of one of the richest agricultural areas in the world, so you’ll taste and enjoy a lot of local produce in any of the numerous fine restaurants in the downtown area and throughout the city. Food offerings include steakhouses, seafood, and international flavors from Indian, Mexican, Korean and Chinese restaurants, too. There are several farmers markets held in the Chico area, including the Thursday night market with a street-fair vibe, held during the warm months of the year, right in downtown on Broadway, between 2nd and 5th Streets. This unique farmers market was named in the top 10 markets to eat at in northern California. You’ll find plenty of vegetarian/vegan and gluten-free options, too!

The Host was very nice and friendly, above and beyond helpful. When we couldn't figure out something about the travel trailer, she was readily available. She gave us everything we needed to have a safe and fun trip. The travel trailer itself, was exactly what we wanted for our first time out. It was the right length, style and layout. It was just right for a couple like us. Being that this was our first time, we learn a lot about this Trailer camping world. Thank You, for a great experience.

This is our first time renting a R/V for our camping trip. Matt was amazing and so easy to work with and made the process a breeze. Will definitely be renting from him again! Thank you!

Danielle was a great communicator and so helpful. Her EKKO is absolutely beautiful and clean. It is well stocked with all that we needed in the kitchen. We brought our own bedding and Danielle was so kind to provide extras like towels and camp chairs, as we were flying in from out of state. We drove the EKKO up to Lassen and Crater Lake. The RV is easy to handle and so comfortable. We can't wait to use Danielle's EKKO again.
