In sunny central California, the city of Marina is to the south of San Jose on the beautiful Monterey Bay. When you rent an RV in Marina, go out exploring and take in the Pacific breeze this charming seaside city offers.

Founded in the early twentieth century by William Locke-Paddon, the city has had a long, intertwined history with nearby Fort Ord. The area played a pivotal role as an infantry training center during the Mexican - American War and up through the forts decommission in the 90s when most of the land became protected wilderness.

Discover Marina


The Great Outdoors

After picking up your RV rental in Marina, head down to Locke-Paddon Community Park located in the center of the city. The park’s many trails and pathways weave between ponds and streams that house a variety of wildlife species. A favorite for birdwatchers, the area is inhabited by grebes, coots, warblers, mallards, blackbirds, sparrows, and more.

Drive over and visit Fort Ord Dunes State Park for one of the region’s best views. The towering dunes and beaches offer great opportunities to canoe, kayak, surf, and enjoy a picnic lunch. Wander up and down the park’s trails to capture great views of the four miles of ocean beach. Platforms atop the bluffs let visitors gaze into the seemingly endless Pacific.

Wander through nearly 400-acres at the mouth of the Salinas River. The national wildlife refuge is a beautiful mosaic of saline ponds, riparian habitats, great beaches, and coastal dunes. Thousands of migratory birds flock to the sanctuary here in the spring and fall to line the coast. See some of the many endangered species that are protected here, including the western snowy plover, Smith's blue butterfly, and Monterey spineflower, along with dozens of waterfowl big and small.

Moss Landing State Wildlife Area, north of the city towards Santa Cruz, is another favorite destination for campers renting an RV near Marina to visit. The 872-acre property is apart of the largest unaltered saltmarsh on the California coast. Because of the uniqueness of the habitat, hiking Moss Landing offers an outstanding opportunity to see a wonderful array of extraordinary wildlife, such as over 300 species of birds, harbor seals, and sea otters.

RV Parks

Trying to find a great place to park your Marina motorhome rental can be tricky with many different options across the city and surrounding areas. Many sites are right against the Pacific and offer great views of the ocean, dunes, and sandy shores.

The Marina Dunes RV Park, situated along coastal dunes, provides a great jumping point to the region’s many attractions. The park and resort gives you quick access to ten miles of undeveloped Montereybeachfront. Swim or surf just a few minutes walk from any of the park’s many beautiful sites. The park has an open, cozy lodge with a fireplace and big screen TVs, laundry facilities, playgrounds, and outdoor rec areas. From the park, aquariums, parks, golf courses, and more are just a quick drive away.

Another option for lodging your Marina travel trailer rental is Moss Landing KOA Express. Located right on the harbor, it provides a showcase of what all the Pacific has to offer. Hike through the Elkhorn Slough, cast a fishing line, or take a whale-watching cruise from the Monterey Bay into the Pacific. The campground has full hookups plus cable for RVs up to 60-feet in length.

Exploring The City

The Fort Ord National Monument, further inland in Monterey County, is steeped in history worth diving into. With over 86 miles of hiking, biking, and horse trails, jump into the boots of the American soldiers who trained here from World War II up through the Vietnam War.

The Monterey and Salinas Valley Railroad Museum educates visitors of all ages on California’s history of rail. Through dioramas and preserved artifacts, see how railroads provided transportation options to help bring thousands to the state.

Although the region has its own rich and diverse habitats and wildlife, take your Marina luxury RV rental to the Monterey Zoo located just outside the city. Enjoy the opportunity to be up close with over one hundred exotic animals at the zoo. An unforgettable experience awaits you at a clean and caring facility, where you are able to watch the animal kingdom’s apex predators like lions, alligators, tigers, and bears.
