Discover Hawthorne RV rentals for memorable road trips

When you think of RV travel, the metro area of Los Angeles may not the first destination that comes to mind. However, Southern California has a lot to offer when it comes to renting an RV: beautiful weather, tons of attractions, and a veritable playground of outdoor recreation with the Pacific Ocean and Santa Monica Mountains both within close proximity. In that sprawling metropolis is the city of Hawthorne, a relatively quiet community that’s home to a number of innovative tech companies including SpaceX, The Boring Company, and Northrop Grumman. It’s also about 15 miles to the southwest of LA, and just south of the suburb of Inglewood.

Getting Outside near Hawthorne

When exploring the area with a motorhome rental in Hawthorne, set aside at least a few days for enjoying the beach. The city is only a few miles from the coast and that means beach access is never far away. El Segundo Beach is the closest, but it’s worth going the extra couple miles to Manhattan Beach, one of the area’s most famous. Just a few blocks from Manhattan Beach is Sand Dune Park, a giant sand dune right in the middle of town. It’s a huge sandbox, a tough workout, and an odd sight to see.

RV Parks near Hawthorne

There are a few places around the area to set up camp with an RV rental near Hawthorne. Dockweiller RV Park is a few miles to the west and has a beachfront location.

The famously historic Queen Mary ocean liner is also moored in the bay and is visible from the park.

My experience hiring Scotty's van was awesome. To start with, Scotty is such a great guy and super easy to deal with. Quick and clear responses during the booking, and great information during handover. The van itself is super well looked after, and the set-up was perfect for me to enjoy 5 days chasing waves, coffees and burritos in Southern California. I definitely recommend this van. Thank you, Scotty!

This was truly a seamless and easy experience and really a wonderful way to be introduced to Outdoorsy. My experience with Adam and his spouse was all around pleasant and lovely and they went above and beyond to make sure I was knowledgeable about all the ins and outs of their RV and really took the time to ensure that the RV was set up well and balanced. As for the RV, what a really lovely unit! It was adorable inside, clean and so comfortable. You can see how much love they put into decorating and furnishing the RV and it truly is home away from home. I would definitely rent this again! I just regret that I didn’t take photos to share!

Encenur is an excellent host, engaged, caring, knowledgeable and dedicated to making the trip a success. She was always available and responded to our questions very quickly. The RV was well appointed and comfortable and suited us (a couple) perfectly.
