Discover El Centro RV rentals for memorable road trips
Approximately halfway between the cities of Yuma, Arizona and San Diego, California lies the medium-sized city of El Centro. This Southern California town is located just a few miles from the shared border between the United States and Mexico. El Centro comes from the Spanish word “center,” possibly due to its historical significance as a population center in Southern California’s Imperial Valley. This metropolitan area is considered one of the largest in the region, dating back to the first time Spanish explorers passed through it in the 16th century.

The Great Outdoors
The inland areas of Southern California are often associated with hot, arid, desert climates with no recreational value. However, the region is very diverse and fun to explore in your El Centro camper rental. The Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area is home to the Algodones Dunes, a mesmerizing collection of towering sand dunes that can be seen from space. The dunes are popular with people who enjoy riding ATVs, motorcycles, dune buggies, 4x4 vehicles, and other off-road vehicles. This barren sand field is also a great place to camp with an El Centro motorhome rental.
RV Parks
Fortunately, El Centro is quite accommodating when it comes to camping, so it should be a breeze to find a campground or RV park that suits your needs. You can try staying the night at Country Life RV Park when you rent an RV in El Centro, in an easy-to-find location. There are plenty of campsites to choose from, a playground for children, and a refreshing pool for swimming.
City Sightseeing
El Centro is quite large, so naturally, you can expect to find a variety of impressive restaurants, shopping centers, bars, breweries, cafes, and other places to pass the time. Imperial Valley Mall is a popular shopping facility in the area, with hundreds of retail shops, restaurants, and a large movie theater on site.

Joshua was great to work with in spite of Outdoorsy's glitchy app. Everything was well prepared and clean and we enjoyed a wonderful time. No hassle, no worries. Made it easy
