Renting an RV lets you enjoy the flexibility of RV travel without all the costs and maintenance of ownership. With a rental, you can book the perfect rig for any trip just like you would a car or hotel. With Outdoorsy, you rent directly from the host but get the backing of programs like roadside assistance, insurance, and stellar support from real, live people 24/7.

How much are average RV rentals?

On average, you can expect to pay between $75 and $150 per night to rent most small trailers and campervans. Larger trailers and motorhomes could cost $100 to $250 per night. Renting an RV for a longer time can be even more affordable–a week or month-long rental could average out to less than $60 per day.

Are there RV rentals with unlimited mileage?

Yes! Each RV host can choose whether to offer unlimited miles on their vehicles. You’ll be able to see if unlimited mileage is an option on any listing you check out. If unlimited miles are not available, you’ll be able to see what is included with the base rate and what extra miles will cost.

Are RV rentals pet-friendly?

Many RV hosts allow pets in their rentals. Be sure to check the listing to see if it’s an option for the rig you have your eye on. You’ll be able to see if there is an extra deposit or fee for pets before you request a booking.

Do RV rentals offer delivery?

Having an RV delivered to your home or destination is a great way to simplify your trip. Many RV hosts offer delivery and setup services, usually for an extra fee or within a certain distance of their location. Each listing shows whether or not delivery is an option.

Are there RV rentals near me?

RV rentals are available all over the country! Whether you want to pick up an RV near home to set out an epic road trip or if you want to have one ready at your destination, you can search by location for any type of rig.

Renting an RV is an affordable way to get all the benefits of RV travel without the maintenance and overhead of ownership. It’s also a great way to try out the lifestyle and different types of rigs before you take the plunge and buy your own. Already own an RV? Consider renting yours out to bring in some extra income.

How many people can sleep in an RV?

Small travel trailers and campervans can usually sleep 2-4 people comfortably. Mid-size trailers and motorhomes usually sleep 4-8. Bigger rigs often sleep 6-10, some even 12!

Why choose Outdoorsy vs Craigslist or Airbnb?

Security, for one. Outdoorsy helps protect RV hosts and renters with excellent support and insurance options, and a secure platform for listings, communication, and payments. There are plenty of other reasons though, like roadside assistance, detailed listings, and a wide variety of RVs to choose from.

Discover Julian RV rentals for memorable road trips

Getting an RV rental in Julian, California, is a great idea for anyone who wants to experience a hilly, pine-oak woodland as well as the sand and stones of the desert. The town of Julian has plenty of history mixed with a small-town charm that brings its visitors both relaxation and excitement. The beach city of San Diego is pretty close to your luxury RV rental in Julian, and the desert resort cities of Palm Springs and Palm Desert are both also reasonably nearby. For something more local to your camper rental in Julian, you could drive to Scissors Crossing, a point on the Pacific Crest Trail that’s only a short car drive away. And only a quick dash in the other direction, you’ll find Santa Ysabel, a former Spanish mission.

The Great Outdoors of Julian

Cuyamaca Rancho State Park is a great destination to visit if you decide to rent an RV in Julian. The park is practically on your doorstep and here you can both hike and bike along trails with majestic views of meadows, mountains, and forests. The flora in the park is rich and depending on when you visit you might see milkmaids, wallflowers, and cudweed, or if you prefer animals - there are plenty of those too, you might even spot a mountain lion. For a bit of history, there’s an exhibit at a former gold mine in this scenic park.It is possible to reach wooded areas on foot if you park your RV rental in Julian, CA, but if you’d prefer to follow a trail, the Swartz Canyon County Park is just a short commute away. Here you’ll find both picturesque creeks and stunning mountain views along various trails with different difficulty levels. There’s even the opportunity to hike with a docent (essentially a local hiking buddy) should you want to know more about the beautiful area.While there are fishing and boating opportunities as well as beaches, the Salton Sea is not your average lake. It has very high salt levels, which has affected its wildlife but has also turned it into an entirely unique place. Here you can find a beach made up entirely of dead fish, and there are bubbling mud pools to have a look at, and also a very rich and diverse bird population, for the bird watcher.

RV Parks in Julian

There are lots of places to park your RV rental near Julian, but for those who prefer to stay in town, Stagecoach Trails Horse Camp and RV is an option. Here you can not only enjoy the nature and the gorgeous views, but there’s also a pool, horseshoe pits as well as a store where you can get everything from food and snacks to large amounts of water for your adventures.Should you want to drive a bit away from town, there’s camping at Lake Cuyamaca. Here you can choose between hookups or no hookups, and there’s fishing and hiking and nature to be explored. A little bit farther away, about 20 miles from Julian, Butterfield Ranch Community is located. Here you can enjoy full hookups, a grocery store, and bathrooms. There are not a lot of gas stations in the area, so make sure to fill your tank up whenever you get the chance.

Exploring Julian

If you haven’t started your search for an RV in Julian yet, maybe this will convince you: Julian is known for its gold mines and its delicious apples. For a historical experience, a visit to the Tour Eagles and High Peaks mines, two of the original gold ones, is recommended.For when you’re feeling a bit hungry, there are restaurants but also several cafés to visit in Julian. The amount of cafés is not surprising, seeing as many people visit the town to try its tasty apple pies. Apples have a big part in the town culture and there are many apple-related attractions. You can pick your own apples, visit orchards and cideries, and of course, try all the delicious foods. Don’t forget to leave some space in your RV for all the apple cider and pies you’ll want to bring home for friends and family.Another must-see when in Julian is the California Wolf Center, which is home to Rocky Mountain and Mexican gray wolves, the latter being one of the rarest mammals in the country. Here you can see several packs of wolves, and while you can’t pet them, you have a rare chance to see their social interactions and pack behavior. All of this, along with mountains, deserts and a rich small-town culture is waiting for you in Julian, CA, so what are you waiting for, it's time to rent an RV!

Marlowe and his son were excellent communicators, prior to and during booking, as well as leading up to drop-off and leading up to pick-up. They rose to the challenge of lacking wifi/cell service where they dropped, providing me a verbal walk-through of the camper in advance of my arrival, so that I would know what to expect. And once I arrived, I was glad to have had this training, as we are first time RV users, and this provided us a smooth experience.The camper itself was clean, well-stocked, ready-and-waiting when we arrived, and sustained us well through the long weekend. Marlowe called ahead to the campground to ensure he could park it upon an earlier arrival than what the campground usually allows, as the roundtrip for these guys was no small feat. I was glad they were willing to do it, so that we could have a great home away from home. Thanks guys! Will definitely recommend and be booking again!
