Discover Dos Palos RV rentals for memorable road trips

Just 25 miles south of Merced lies the small town of Dos Palos. The history behind the name of the city is actually quite interesting. When the explorer Gabriel Moraga was on his journey across the San Joaquin Valley in the early 1800s, he came across two sets of poplar trees. The word "palos" used to refer to larger, skinnier, pole-like trees, and since there were two sets he named the area Dos Palos.

Kevin’s trailer was super clean, and everything worked well. Pick up and drop off went smoothly. Highly recommend renting from Kevin. We spent 5 days on the coast camping and no issues.

What a great experience! Before reserving the camper we messaged the host to ask about pickup and drop off times - he got back to us within minutes and was generously accommodating. Everything was ready to roll when we arrived, and the camper was super clean and in great shape. Everything we needed for a quick and easy setup at the campsite was on board and ready to go.
We will definitely look to this host again when we travel to the Modesto area next spring. Thank you!
