Discover Middletown RV rentals for memorable road trips

Once a waystation for a stagecoach route in between Calistoga, CA, and Lower Lake, Middletown was officially founded in 1871. The main industries were mercury mining and cattle ranching. However, when the locals realized the potential in the mineral springs, a small resort industry prang up. As travel became cheaper and faster in the mid-20th century, the resorts died off because the Bay area vacationers sought out more far-flung, exotic locations. Today, the town residents are mostly retirees and commuters who work in the nearby larger towns.

The Great Outdoors

Skip the air-conditioned hotels and get closer to nature in a Middletown RV rental. Commune with nature. Witness wildlife in their natural environment. The Mendocino National Forest is one of the larger parks in California, covering nearly a million acres. It’s unique in that there are no major paved roads or highways running through (though there are paved country roads and dirt roads). There are several hundred miles of hiking and biking trails, and it’s worth noting that the park rangers are unable to maintain several trails due to the sheer size of this park. To that end, it’s easy to lose the trail, and reading a topographical map is an essential skill. All hikers and adventurers should also pack extra water. An arid region, water sources are scarce. Because this dry region is prone to wildfires, everyone should obtain a campfire permit before starting one if they’re not in a designated campground. Your Middletown travel trailer rental will be in good company. Several campgrounds permit RVs and campers, though only the Red Bluff Recreation Area’s campgrounds have hookups and dump stations.

RV Parks

When you book an RV in Middletown, CA, don’t forget to figure out where you’ll park while you go exploring or grab some Zs. There are about a dozen campgrounds and RV parks within 15 miles radius. Hidden Valley Lake Campground is a small facility with 18 lots with hookups and several more without, some of which overlooks a small lake. The restroom and showers are ADA-compliant.
