Discover Placerita Canyon State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips
Placerita Canyon State Park was created to preserve the site of the very first place that gold was discovered in California back in 1842. The gold was found on some wild onion roots under the Oak of the Golden Dream. It is located in the transition zone between the San Gabriel Mountains and the Mojave Desert and can get very hot, especially in the summer months. The history, recreational activities, and hot summers encourage people to book an RV in Los Angeles County year after year.

I had the pleasure of coming across Mike and his camper on Outdoorsy for a recent trip to Utah. Mike was a pleasure to deal with; friendly, responsive, efficient, and accommodating. His van was in excellent low miles condition. This van was a pleasure to drive and I was surprised at how well this RAM handles compared to Mercedes Sprinters I've rented in the past. Inside it was very clean and everything worked as expected without quirks or surprises. This is perhaps the 6th class B camper I've rented and definitely the best one thus far. I have already alluded to Mike that I will be back to rent again. Thanks again!

Calin is a great host and her RV is wonderful. Fun to drive, very clean, and would rent again in a heartbeat. She is very easy to communicate with and fast to respond. Highly recommend.
