Getting Outdoors

The long stretch of sand is the main draw at Emma Wood State Beach. Mild temperatures throughout the year make it a favorite with summer sunseekers, as well as vacationers visiting in fall, winter and spring. Cast a line from the beach and you could reel in perch, bass, cabezon, and corbina – perfect for a fish fry back at your RV rental.

Camping at Emma Wood State Beach

The family-friendly campground at Emma Wood State Beach offers a unique chance to sleep by the Pacific Ocean. Ninety campsites cater exclusively to fully self-contained vehicles, which means you'll need to provide your own electricity, water, and restrooms. This makes Emma Wood a great option for motorhome campers in search of a primitive, off-the-grid experience. Most sites feature makeshift campfire circle built with rocks, so don't forget your hot dogs and s'mores ingredients.

We’re absolutely thrilled we rented Alan and Abby’s camper van for our weekend getaway! It was such a perfect little home away from home. We were super grateful for the onboard water and gas, plus the bathroom was a huge plus. The extra little touches they added really made a difference. Alan was so thoughtful and thorough with his walkthroughs, which were a great reminder since I watched the videos he sent me.

Roger is an excellent host and we are lucky to be able to rent this RV so close to home in TO. Appreciated the 4 comfortable captain chairs and the 5 extra chairs for a total of 9 passengers if needed. It was a perfect RV to host our out-of-town guests flying in for the wedding of our daughter and now son-in-law in Walnut Grove. Nice to have the extra bathroom, sink and refrigerator to use when needed.

Alan was so exceptionally helpful for our trip! We had a previous booking that was cancelled last minute and so glad we ended up booking this RV instead. It was in great condition and all worked well for our group. Would happily rent from Alan again! All of our friends had a blast and a great memory because of this RV :D
