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.

This RV was perfect for my week of camping. The hosts Patty and John are absolutely wonderful and made sure I had everything I needed. The camper is set up so wonderfully with plenty of supplies and extra touches to make it super cozy and functional. I'll definitely rent from them again as it was easy and a great experience.
Thank you Patty and John-I'd give you 6 stars if I could. :)

Daniel was a pleasure to work with. He messaged us back quickly on every question we had for him. The van was in great shape and was perfect for our weekend getaway. I’m positive we will rent this van again.

Winie was awesome. We were first time RV renters and he did an amazing job helping us become comfortable with the RV. His tutorial and review of the safety features and all of the functions of the RV were detailed, informative and easy to follow. He did everything he could to make us comfortable and prepared for our trip. He was available for us to contact with any questions or concerns. The RV was equipped with all of the necessities and more. When we rent again, there’s no doubt who we will be contacting!!
