Where To Stay
Among Gilroy’s northern city limits, you will find Bear Ranch County Park and Coyote Lake. This almost 5,000-acre gem is perfect when you want to get off the beaten path a bit. Spend the morning out fishing on the lake, go horseback riding or backpack along the over 33 miles of winding trails; even camp for a night or so.The park provides over 70 RV, camper, and tent-ready campsites with tables, fire pits, food storage lockers, and hookups for electric and water. Dump stations are close by and hot showers are available to all who camp here, making this park a perfect spot to park your Gilroy RV rental.Travel less than 40 miles northwest to spend your evening in the neighboring city,San Jose. After a day out enjoying the natural wilderness, an evening immersed in this part of Silicon Valley is an ironic ending. San Jose is a major tech hub where you will not only find surroundings rich in science and technology, but a whole vibrant community that also embraces the arts and exciting attractions that have helped build this city.Another favorite way to spend the day around Gilroy is at the Soquel Demonstration State Forest inLos Gatos, CA. Situated in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the Soquel Demonstration State Forest provides public access to beautiful, awe-inspiring coastal Redwoods and the wildlife that calls this part of California home.The forest is seismic, with two fault lines passing through the property. Because of this geologic activity, visitors get to enjoy the naturally formed springs and marshes that are found in several closed-off depressions.The unique forest is a phenomenal transition from urban life to coastal tranquility, and as a “working forest”, Soquel provides excellent opportunities for visitors to get a hands-on approach to education, as well a well-loved source for bicycling, hiking, horseback riding, and picnicking.Unfortunately, visitors can’t spend the night here, but the forest makes for an excellent way to get out and enjoy the California sunshine! With your Gilroy camper rental, you have the option to stay close by or continue on westward to the coast, whereHenry Cowell Redwoods State Park offers other places to park.The Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park is also located within the same Santa Cruz Mountain range and hosts towering, ancient redwoods. This spectacular scenery captivates travelers from all over the globe. Here, you can spend your day amongst the giants hiking, biking, horseback riding, swimming, and more. When you don’t want to end your day, simply park your RV rental at the park’s campground. (Be advised that the maximum length for campers here is 35 feet.)

We have rented a lot of vans to adventure out west and this was by far our favorite experience to date. Anthony gave an indepth guide to all the features of the van prior to departure. As it is an older van, it does have a smaller gas tank as to be expected so plan gas stop accordingly. We camped with our infant and had space for a bassinet. Even with lows in the 40s the van was warm without an additional heat source with just sleeping bags. The head space with the pop up and additional bed were awesome as we had some rain and were able to have additional space to stay out of the elements. Plus Chewie is just such an awesome fan and experience if you never experienced a VW camper van.
I recently rented an RV for my trip, and the entire experience was absolutely fantastic! The vehicle was spotless, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything I needed for a smooth and enjoyable journey. Driving it was surprisingly easy, and all the features from the kitchen setup to the sleeping arrangements made the trip feel both adventurous and cozy.Customer service was exceptional as well. Pickup and drop-off were quick and simple, and they made sure I understood how everything worked before hitting the road. Their friendliness and attention to detail truly made a difference.This RV rental turned my trip into an unforgettable experience. I’ll definitely be renting again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, flexible, and stress-free getaway!
I had a fantastic experience renting the Winnebago van from David for a trip to Yosemite. I rented it as a birthday gift for my 4-year-old son, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. David was very accommodating and took the time to show us how to use all the features, which was especially helpful as first-timers. A lovely surprise was when he delivered the van with a birthday balloon for our son—such a thoughtful gesture! He also was punctual with both delivery and pickup, making the whole process stress-free. Highly recommend renting from David for a seamless and enjoyable adventure!
