Often referred to as the “Heart of the South Bay”, the lovely community of Lawndale in the Greater Los Angeles area continues to charm those who pass through or decide to rent an RV while in town. At only two square miles, Lawndale is quite literally a tiny town.

The town of Lawndale was officially created in 1905, although settlers arrived earlier and farmed in the area. Next to well-known Torrance and Redondo Beach, Lawndale served as an affordable community for WWII veterans returning from combat as they could not afford to live along the coast in higher priced areas. Since the post-war years, Lawndale has blossomed into a thriving community well suited for tourism with its excellent transportation system and proximity to many wonderful city sites and incredible parks.

Los Angeles International Airport is only five miles away from Lawndale, and Interstate 405 runs through town, making it easy to get in and out. A variety of commuter rails and buses help connect Lawndale to the rest of the metro area, so nothing is too difficult to reach. When you book an RV in Lawndale, California, you’ll have a great way to see the beauty of southern California.

Discover Lawndale


Experience the Sites and Scenery

When people think of Los Angeles and more specifically Lawndale, California, they envision themselves walking down the Walk of Fame or the Sunset Strip, but there is abundant natural beauty to discover and encounter, too.

Even within the small town of Lawndale, you can enjoy the great outdoors by visiting Alondra Community Regional Park. With a wooded, rural landscape and prairie lands scattered around an urban lake, this 53-acre park is a great place to start your outdoors tour of southern California with the Lawndale RV rental.

Dockweiler State Beach and Miramar Park are two of the finest beaches in the area and can be reached in your Lawndale rental RV or by public transportation. Bonfires are common at Dockweiler, as well as hang gliding, swimming, fishing, boating, and sun tanning. There are also bike trails at Dockweiler that connect with other area parks and attractions. Miramar has splendid ocean views that can’t be beat, especially during sunset.

Topanga State Park is another great place to visit when you rent an RV in Lawndale, and is not too far outside of the city either. This gem of a park in the Santa Monica Mountains is highly popular with those seeking peace and quiet, and refuge from the busy city. Hiking, mountain biking, climbing, and horseback riding are all possible when you visit Topanga State Park in your Lawndale camper rental.

Crystal Cove State Park is another California park south of the city that warrants a visit. Just north of Laguna Beach, Crystal Cove is excellent for swimming, surfing, as well as snorkeling and scuba diving. Hiking is also fun here, with over 17 different trails to explore the park by the sea.

Angeles National Forest is a famous recreation area and wilderness located in the San Gabriel Mountains. With 700,000 acres of awesome mountain scrubland and five wilderness areas featuring impressive wildlife, there is so much to do in the national forest.

You might consider taking a few hours’ ride east in your Lawndale motorhome rental to see Joshua Tree National Park, one of the most awe-inspiring collections of natural beauty on the planet. This blending of two distinct deserts creates a unique ecosystem that cannot be seen anywhere else in the world. You might not be able to take your Lawndale rental motorhome with you, but Channel Islands National Park is accessible by boat from Los Angeles and has some of the most breathtaking scenery and unspoiled, undeveloped land in California.

City Attractions

Since Lawndale is so small in physical size, there aren’t many attractions or things to do within the town itself, but since the Los Angeles metro area blends together so seamlessly, the entire city is truly at your fingertips when you rent an RV anywhere in the county.

There is a fun Automobile Driving Museum a few miles away in El Segundo that has over 130 vintage, antique, and muscle cars for you to see. This car enthusiast mecca hosts Sunday ride events and car shows. Old Town Music Hall is a cherished historical site designed to preserve the cultural heritage of the institution. The theater has been showing old movies and hosting musical performances for decades and even has a massive Wurlitzer organ consisting of over 2,600 pipes. The Flight Path Museum has lots of interesting exhibits and objects on display, including miniature model rockets, and real items from the NASA Mercury missions.

Of course, the entire city of Los Angeles is accessible with a Lawndale RV rental by owner and with it, so too are the usual attractions people hope to see, like the Hollywood Sign, the Walk of Fame, and Griffith Observatory.

Where to Park It

Since it is located in one of the largest metro areas in the world, Lawndale will have you covered in all areas when it comes to renting an RV. Walmart Supercenters: Check. Certified mechanics: You bet. Fueling stations and places to stay overnight: Yes, and yes again.

Dockweiler RV Park is only minutes away from Lawndale. Dockweiler RV Park is one of the only RV parks in the county and better yet, sits on the beaches overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Golden Shore RV Resort is farther south but still offers fabulous amenities and a cozy feel for those away from home.

In downtown Long Beach, Golden Shore offers a one of a kind experience, heated pool and spa, and a short walk to the beach. You can also take your Lawndale camper rental to places like Topanga State Park, Angeles National Forest, or Joshua Tree National Park, all of which have full hook-up, RV-friendly sites so you can take your show on the road and see the beauty of southern California on your own terms.
