Explore the Outdoors
California is blessed with ethereal beauty in every direction, as well as some of the largest wilderness areas in the country. Colfax is a suitable place to rent an RV because it is easy to get in and out of town on Interstate 80. Additionally, there are countless recreation areas and parks to spend your time at while you take a vacation away from home. Folsom Lake, for instance, is a short drive south in your Colfax RV rental, and home to several camping areas, parks, and reserves. Folsom Lake State Recreation Area is one of the better-known places to visit on the lake, with lots of hiking trails and beautiful meadows of wildflowers. You can swim in the lake, go fishing in a boat or from the shores, and camp out along the lake in your Colfax motorhome rental. Lake Oroville is another large lake to the north, with tons of recreation space much like Folsom Lake. Loafer Creek, Potters Ravine, Craig, and Foreman Creek are just a few of the many recreation areas along the lake, where camping and hiking are encouraged.
RV Parks to Visit
Northern California was practically made for camping so the last thing you should do is panic when thinking about where to stay when you book an RV in Colfax. Bear River Park & Campground is an option when it comes to camping, with tent sites, RV sites, and large group sites to share with friends and family. There are tons of hiking trails as well as a river to fish and swim in. Greenhorn Campground has an arcade for kids, a general store, a snack bar, several beaches on the Rollins Reservoir, and spacious, shaded campsites overlooking the water.
Around Town
Although it is not found within Napa or Sonoma Counties, there are lots of locally owned vineyards and breweries in and around the town of Colfax. The Mediterranean climate of the region makes for excellent growing conditions for grapes, so you can sample these local wines at wineries or at the vineyards themselves.

We absolutely loved our trip with the teardrop — it was everything we needed and wanted and nothing we didn’t. Joshua went way above and beyond as a host, and even helped out to handle some last minute changes and issues on our end. I can’t say enough good things about this little camper and the host — if you’re thinking of renting, you won’t regret!!

Had a wonderful experience with the car and the host! Had some issues with tent but Vadim was really helpful and helped us with a smooth experience!

Jon was easy to work with. Van was clean and easy to drive. All amenities were sufficient. The only thing lacking was that there are no lids for any pots/pans. So bring some foil to make a lid and your own dish soap/sponge. Otherwise, this is a great van to experience a coastal getaway :)
