Discover Muir Woods National Monument RV rentals for memorable road trips
William Kent, a noted California philanthropist, and politician realized that lumber companies had virtually wiped out nearly all of the old-growth redwood trees around the Bay Area and moved quickly to buy around 600 acres of pristine, untouched redwoods in 1905. In 1909, he donated a small patch of land to the federal government in 1908, and President Roosevelt used the Antiquities Act to establish this land as a national monument. Kent’s donation came with one caveat: that it be named after John Muir, who was a prominent conservationist, naturist, and author. Muir is often credited with spawning the philosophy of preserving nature for future generations.

Getting Outdoors
Although Muir Woods National Monument is a smaller one, clocking in at just over 600 acres, the upside is it’s one of the last untouched old-growth woods in the Bay area. Stating that redwood trees are massive doesn’t quite hit home until you see them with your own eyes. Measuring anywhere between three and six feet across in diameter, these trees also dwarf other trees in height. The tallest tree in the Muir Woods National Monument measures, as of 2018, 258 feet, and it’s still growing. To put that in perspective, that’s about 18 stories.
Camping at Muir Woods National Monument
Partly due to the park’s size, partly to protect the trees for future generations, RV camping at Muir Woods National Monument is not permitted. However, there are several other options in the area. One of Mount Tamalpais State Park RV campgrounds are found just off the Steep Ravine beach. Close to Stinson Beach, this campground is largely primitive, though there are restrooms with flush toilets and faucets.
Exploring the Area
With San Francisco literally just a few minutes down the road, the opportunities for adventure and fun to be had are endless. Don’t overlook the small towns scattered across central-California coast, though. Many towns are historic, dating back to the 1850s. Petaluma is especially well known for its interesting architectural homes and buildings, some of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Rancho Petaluma Adobo is a National Historic Landmark, also.

wow, this trip with Kelvin's van was absolutely memorable. It was the first time my husband and I got to experience a bit of the "van life" and we loved it! Kelvin's van has absolutely everything you need to stay off grid for a while with comfort and a little "indoor" heaven (cooking, starlink - an absolute worthy option we made for our camping trip-, cozy soft warm bed...). This experience was definitely a game changer for us. My husband and I will be doing more van camping in the future :)) Kelvin was also so helpful and kind! Excellent host!! Thank you for facilitating one of the best trip of our lives so far. :D
