Named for and founded by the Durham family in 1917, the small city of Durham, California was once a small experimental agricultural colony before becoming the lively city center it is today. On the outskirts of Chico and approximately halfway between Redding and Sacramento, Durham is a small bedroom community for its larger neighbor. Despite this, the city retains its own unique charm and character that cannot be found anywhere else.

When you book an RV in Durham, the splendid Mediterranean climate will soothe your soul and help you appreciate Mother Nature to the fullest. The main cities of northern California are well within driving range, so you and your Durham camper rental should face no difficulty on the road trip of your dreams. The greatest reason for visiting this lovely city is the overwhelming number of parks, recreation areas, forests, and mountain vistas in the region that await you. The Sierra Nevada mountains exude a magnetic pull that beckons travelers to climb high up into the forests that blanket them, a truly exciting prospect that would tempt most outdoor enthusiasts.

Discover Durham


Experience the Great Outdoors

There are too many natural areas and parks to possibly name in northern California, an area largely known for its enchanting natural beauty. Black Butte Lake Recreation Area is one such example of where you can go when you rent an RV in Durham. Here you can swim in a refreshing lake, circle the park on one of many hiking trails, or camp out under the stars in your Durham RV rental. There are boat ramps, day-use areas, and picnic zones for those eager to eat and relax in a highly scenic area. Boating, fishing, disc golf, and horseback riding are also welcomed activities within the park.

Lake Oroville is another incredible natural area packed with panoramic views and comfortable camping areas suitable for overnight stays in your Durham motorhome rental. There are several recreation areas you can make use of during your visit, like Loafer Creek, Craig, Kelly Ridge, Foreman Creek, Sycamore Creek, and Potters Ravine Recreation Areas. Lake Oroville is a fabulous place to go for a swim, or fish for freshwater trout, bass, and coho salmon from the shore or from a boat.

One of the best state parks you can visit is South Yuba River State Park, located east of Yuba City near the Sierra Nevada mountains. There are majestic waterfalls, challenging mountain hikes, rugged canyons, and a dazzling array of mountain bike and hiking trails connecting the park. Hike to hidden swimming areas, or climb the unique rock formations that frequently occur throughout the park when you visit in your Durham RV rental.

One of the best reasons for visiting this particular part of California is the number of national forests and parks that can be seen and visited with ease. Tahoe National Forest and El Dorado National Forest are nearby places to take your Durham luxury motorhome rental if you fancy exploring the wide open terrain and magical views from the lofty mountain vistas. Plumas National Forest is the closest to Durham as the crow flies, with well over a million acres of wilderness. You can easily find a place to camp out in one of the many campgrounds found within any of these national forests.

RV Parks

Finding a cozy place to camp out with your Durham camper rental might just be the easiest part of your trip planning, with a never-ending stream of parks and campgrounds to choose from. Almond Tree RV Park has a fenced-in park where you can let your pets roam. Other amenities include bathrooms and showers, laundry facilities, and a convenience store.

River One RV Park has lush landscaping in a peaceful atmosphere, complete with a convenience store where you can buy food, camping supplies, fishing equipment, and more.

River Reflections RV Park & Campground can accommodate the largest RVs, so don’t be worried about finding a big enough space to stay. There are laundry facilities, restrooms, and fishing areas in the campground.

City Attractions

Due to its proximity to the neighboring city of Chico, Durham shares many of its attractions and features with the larger city. There is an endless stream of restaurants, breweries, cafes, art galleries, and trendy shops in the heart of Chico, so heading into the town on the public transportation options is a fantastic idea. There are great farmers markets and other stores to stock up on camping supplies, food, and souvenirs for friends and family back home.

The Chico History Museum is a fascinating place to learn about all things Chico, from the gold rush that first spurred the growth of the city, to the Native Americans who predated the European settlers in the area. The museum is even located in a historic building, rounding out this truly memorable experience. If you still want to learn more about the city’s history, Bidwell Mansion State Historic Park is an iconic staple of the city, formerly owned by the prestigious and affluent family. This chunk of land and the Victorian mansion that sits atop it was generously donated by the family to serve as a cultural hub where guests may learn about the past while gazing at stunning, one-of-a-kind antiques.

The Museum of Northern California Art features a jaw-dropping collection of art from all over northern California housed in a cavernous gallery with sprawling ceilings and pleasant vibes. The artwork featured inside comes from a variety of different cultures and time periods, including the local indigenous tribes and their masterfully crafted items and art pieces.
