Discover Davis RV rentals for memorable road trips

Originally known as Davisville, the city of Davis is a fantastic small city 15 miles west of Sacramento, known for being home to the University of California-Davis. This delightful college town began as an agricultural community in California's Central Valley, only to grow into a larger more prominent location after the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Today Davis is an enlightened community closely intertwined with its educational institution that is among the very best in the western United States. Historic neighborhoods and cultural centers highlight the city, as well as the amazing restaurants and fun college bars.

When you book an RV in Davis, there is a constant struggle thinking about whether to spend more time in town, or in the vast wilderness areas that make northern California so special. Between its easy access points to other large cities in the area, its charming city center, and the bevy of festivals and celebrations held in town, it's no wonder why so many people come to town and rent an RV for a vacation. Picnic Day, Celebrate Davis, and the Whole Earth Festival are a few of the amazing festivities happening in this lively area.

Davis has an impressive array of public parks, like Chestnut Park and Slide Hill Park. Arroyo Park has a rock-climbing wall, a cricket field, and a bizarre UFO sculpture. There is also a large pool complete with a waterslide at this popular destination. Community Park is one of the largest in Davis, with a community pool, hiking trails, sports fields, and summer camps for children. Aside from the assortment of public parks, there are lots of local golf courses to use, and miles upon miles of bicycle paths connecting the parks and other attractions. This bike-friendly city is widely regarded as one of the best in the country for biking due to the high number of cyclists and the variety of different bicycle trails. Sugarloaf Ridge State Park and Trione-Annadel State Park are both a short drive west when you rent an RV in Davis; these wonderful parks near Santa Rosa are perfect for hikers who enjoy scenic walks through peaceful meadows and forest groves. Sugarloaf Ridge has the trickling Sonoma Creek Falls which can be seen during the rainy season. Bald Mountain can be hiked up to gaze upon the valley below, and even the distant Sierra Nevada Mountains. San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge has lots to offer should you choose to head there with the Davis RV rental. The spectacular wildlife sanctuary is teeming with endangered species and breathtaking views of the San Pablo Bay and even San Francisco. Point Reyes National Seashore is a massive wilderness area along the shores north of the Bay Area, where incredible waterfalls and coastal forests lead to massive bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. If you head east in your Davis motorhome rental, there are several national forests awaiting you. El Dorado National Forest has half a million acres of forest spanning the Sierra Nevada Mountains, much of which is virgin old growth forest. Between El Dorado National Forest and its neighbor to the north, Tahoe National Forest, is the majestic Lake Tahoe which attracts millions of people each year to witness one of the largest and clearest lakes in the world. Skiing and snowboarding are popular around the lake in one of the many mountain resort towns. Yosemite National Park might be a long way off but it is highly encouraged that you head there in your Davis camper rental to see one of the most famous parks on the planet. Rock climbers and mountain bikers especially love this outdoors paradise because of its collection of geological structures and splendid forests.

Overall, the RV was in fantastic shape and works great for a small family. Mine, the owner, does a great job cleaning and maintaining the RV. I would not hesitate recommending it to others and using it again. It worked out perfect for our trip to Yosemite.

Melissa and Aaron could not have been better owners. The trailer was well stocked with linens, utensils, and pots and pans. The trailer was very clean and comfortable. All we had to do was bring food and clothes. We would definitely rent again, don’t think the experience could have been better! Thank you Melissa and Aaron
