Discover King City RV rentals for memorable road trips
The small town of King City lies just south of the Monterey region of coastal California and not far from the tourist hot spot of Big Sur. Unlike either of those towns though, King City is quiet and doesn’t see too many tourists. It’s a laid-back community with a long history of agriculture. If the name sounds familiar, it’s probably because it was mentioned a number of times in John Steinbeck’s famous Depression-era novel, East of Eden, which is set in the Salinas River valley.

The Great Outdoors
Big Sur is undoubtedly the main outdoor attraction for anyone visiting the Salinas Valley. It’s a relatively short drive from King City and offers big waves for surfers, stunningly beautiful landscapes for photographers, and lots of great hiking trails in Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. Its popularity with tourists has also made it something of a foodie destination, so enjoy a delicious meal after a hard day on the trail.
RV Parks
As Big Sur/Monterey is quite popular with tourists, it should come as no surprise that there are quite a few good RV parks in the area. One of the closest is Yanks RV Resort, which is just a short drive north of King City on Route 101. Their sites have full hookups for your RV rental from King City, along with a heated swimming pool, fitness center, laundry facilities, and a pet area for if you brought furry companions on your trip. They’re also not far from Pinnacles National Park if you’re hoping to do some exploring up there.
Exploring the City
The Salinas Valley has been one of California’s agricultural powerhouses over the past 150 years. One of the best places to explore this fascinating history is at the Monterey County Agricultural and Rural Life Museum. It’s located in the middle of San Lorenzo County Park and has exhibits showcasing farm implements throughout the age along with the reconstructions of some of the facilities that would have been found in small-town California like railway depots, one-room schoolhouses, and hay barns. Together they weave together a fascinating story of California’s past, but also how important the agricultural industry is today.

I really enjoyed this sweet little van. It had everything I need and more. I recommend the van to anyone seeking a more comfortable camping experience with some great amenities. A good driving experience as well. The host was excellent and very communicative. A top notch experience all around!

This camper was great. Elma was very responsive and gave us a great tour of the camper's features so we felt confident with it on the road. The camper is in great shape and comes with lots of great stuff like linens, towels, chairs, a table and shades to make it easy to get out and camping!

Mike and Monterey bay RV Rentals will not disappoint. He is very friendly. Always on time and the rv will have everything you need other than bedding, food, and towels. I wouldn’t rent anywhere else. If you’re in the area and need an RV call Mike. He will take excellent care of you.
