What better place to rent an RV than in one of the least explored parts of California? Here on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada range, Coleville is an off-the-beaten-path traveler’s paradise with stunning scenery and loads of great outdoor activities. It’s close to both Lake Tahoe and Carson City, so while you probably won’t see too many other tourists in the area, you won’t be far from civilization.

Coleville and the surrounding region is also rich in history, with many settlers arriving in the late 1800s in search of gold in the Sierra Nevada; a few ghost towns can still be found near Coleville. Most of the industry seen at the turn of the century is gone now, instead replaced with a much smaller contingent of tourists. Summers in Coleville can be quite pleasant, though the town sits at a fairly high elevation of 5,000 feet, so expect mild days and chilly nights.

Discover Coleville


The Great Outdoors

Lake Tahoe is only a short drive away when you get a motorhome rental in Coleville, and it's one of the best places to cool off on a hot summer day. Quite a few shops along the shoreline rent out canoes and kayaks, but if you don’t feel paddling, there are also some great swimming areas to take a refreshing dip in its crystal blue waters. The lake is also surrounded by hiking trails leading up to 1,000-foot-high lookouts with amazing views of Tahoe and the mountains beyond.

You might also consider visiting Yosemite National Park, one of the most popular national parks in the country and a crown jewel in the Sierra Nevada range. The hiking and camping options are nearly limitless in this 750,000-acre park, but a climb up the famed Half Dome rock formation is on many tourists' itineraries. You’ll need to reserve a climbing slot far in advance, as this area is crowded throughout the summer.

If you’d prefer a more low-key outdoor activity closer to Coleville, there’s also the Buckeye Hot Spring just outside of Bridgeport. Three steamy rock pools give visitors the opportunity to relax in the therapeutic waters while still having some great views of the surrounding mountains. If you dislike the overly developed nature of most hot springs, which are little more than hot water being pumped into a swimming pool, you’ll love all-natural Buckeye.

RV Parks

Coleville may not have much of a population to speak of, but its isolation and surrounding beauty have made it a popular destination with RV campers, and there are actually quite a few parks in the area. One of them is just south of town on Route 395, the Coleville Walker KOA. Like many of the chain’s campgrounds, it’s heavy on amenities including full hookups, a swimming pool, showers, laundry facilities, and a dog park.

Another choice would be Walker RV Park a little farther south of the town. It also includes full hookups for your Coleville travel trailer rental along with laundry facilities, showers, and a fish cleaning station. It could be a good choice for travelers seeking a quieter experience.

If you’re searching for a naturalistic setting when you book an RV in Coleville, consider the Topaz Lake RV Park to the north of town. Not only does it have some breathtaking views of its namesake lake, but the park also offers full hookups, laundry facilities, and boat rentals to get you out on the water. If you need to pick up any supplies, there are a few convenience stores serving visitors to the lake.

Exploring the City

While some of the best tourist attractions are of the outdoor variety when you get a camper rental in Coleville, it’s proximity to Lake Tahoe means there are also quite a few interesting art galleries, souvenir shops, and cultural centers to check out too. The sheer variety of restaurants in the South Lake Tahoe region is quite impressive with everything from budget meals to five-star cuisine.

If you’re interested in learning about the history of this quiet corner of Northern California, head over to the Mono County Museum in Bridgeport. Housed inside the original Bridgeport Elementary School, the museum has a number of exhibits chronicling the lives of the region's early homesteading residents. There are some great Paiute Indian baskets on display if you’re curious about the eastern Sierra Nevada region’s Native American heritage.

When you choose an RV rental in Coleville, you’ll also be just across the Nevada state line and near the state’s capital of Carson City. It’s within easy day-tripping distance, and if you’re hoping to do some gambling while you’re in Coleville, a few casinos in the city offer full table gaming: craps, blackjack, and even roulette.
