Discover Crescent City RV rentals for memorable road trips
Named for the sandy, crescent-shaped beach south of town, Crescent City is the county seat of Del Norte County, as well as its only incorporated city. The land around Crescent City was always and still remains inhabited by the Tolowa and Yurok natives, although Jedediah Smith was the first European American to set sights on this gorgeous area and the western edges of the continent. This occurred in the early 19th century, and by 1854, Crescent City was an incorporated city.

The Great Outdoors
It can be overwhelming to arrive in Crescent City and figure out where to go first when you rent an RV. This part of the state is known for its dazzling collection of state and national parks, scenic beaches, coastal mountain ranges, and isolated campgrounds where peace and quiet reign supreme. Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park is the perfect place to kickstart your trip, just a few miles east of Crescent City. The park is named for the same man who first founded what is now Crescent City two centuries ago. This incredible park is one of many places in the northern region of California where you can see the iconic redwood trees in their natural habitat. These towering giants are among the largest trees on Earth. There are lots of fish in the Smith River, the last undammed river in all of California, and other amazing wildlife like black bears, raccoons, and black-tailed deer. Furthermore, there are nearly 20 miles of hiking trails and over 100 campsites.
RV Parks
Crescent City is surrounded by Mother Nature, and finding a campground to accommodate you and your Crescent City campervan rental should be no problem at all. Shoreline RV Park sits right on the ocean, with epic views and beachfront access. This city-run park can provide a basic but satisfying camping experience.
City Sightseeing
Crescent City offers an array of activities and landmarks you can see during your vacation. Historic buildings are scattered throughout the city, but the two historic lighthouses in the area are some of the most fun places to visit, photograph, and see. St. George Reef Lighthouse sits in a particularly turbulent stretch of coastline, once known for its treacherous rocks and features. The lighthouse now sits unused but still standing. Battery Point Lighthouse provides a place to learn, read, observe, and see artifacts from the old lighthouse that now operates as a museum. It is a long walk to get to the distant bluff overlooking the ocean, but definitely worth it once you see this postcard-worthy imagery.

Jason and his wife were absolutely amazing! We had a delay in our flight down that pushed our arrival back hours later than it was supposed to be. They not only got the RV setup at a campsite near the airport, they also got us pizza and snacks so we could settle in stress free when we arrived. That truly helped set the pace for our adventure. We drove from Medford down to Crescent City, then back up the coast in the RV and because it had enough space to keep us comfortable but wasn’t too large we had no problems at all with dispersed or park camping. Drop off was super quick and easy with them as well. We had forgotten a few small items and they made sure to communicate and get them back to us. 10/10 would recommend the RV and the wonderful couple owning it. It was a beautiful experience!

We really enjoyed our trip, and Michael was very responsive to questions during our trip. This was our first RV experience. In hindsight I should have asked more questions upfront as we ended up booking the wrong type of camping site (didn't have all the right hook ups), and had some hiccups with the propane. A user guide would have been helpful. But overall we had a beautiful holiday and the kids loved the RV and the bunk beds. Would not hesitate to rent again!

Jason and Sky were excellent, accommodating hosts. They were available to answer our questions and concerns throughout the trip (when we were in service range to get ahold of them). The RV was delivered on time and was extremely clean. The hosts went out of their way to pick the RV up and drop us off at the airport for a 5am flight and treated us with dignity and respect. The only disappointments about the experience were the black water tank seemed to not have been completely emptied prior to us picking the unit up and drained a considerable amount when dumped it the second day of our trip. We also struggled to maintain power in the house batteries, but being new to this RV unit, that could have been user error.
We would highly recommend these hosts to anyone looking to rent. Their RV was exactly as described and the hosts are willing to go the extra mile to assist in any way we asked. We had a life changing experience on our trip that would not have been possible without the ability to rent from these hosts. Thank you again.
