Getting Outdoors

While culture seekers will prefer spending their time shopping and meeting new people in the cities, the park has a lot in store for outdoor enthusiasts. For starters, the 18 miles of trails meander through the rugged basin where you’ll get to see giant redwoods along with live oak and Douglas fir. One of the most scenic trails in the park is the Sequoia Nature Trail which makes its way along the Pescadero Creek. Keep a keen eye out for wildlife, and if lucky, you’ll spot some deer, raccoons, and coyotes.

We had a great three days with the camper van. It was the perfect size for the two of us — comfortable, well laid out, and easy to settle into. Everything was very intuitive, especially the water and electric hook up, and we barely needed to be connected over the full three days. We were initially a bit nervous about driving and parking a van this size, but it ended up being surprisingly easy to drive and maneuver. Overall, it made for a really smooth and enjoyable trip, and we’d happily recommend it.

Loved our experience. Easy communication and the van was stocked with everything we needed. We were even able to coordinate an early pick up! Highly recommend.

Matt's little teardrop trailer was a snap to tow behind my V6 Tacoma. When I got to the pickup, we determined my ball / receiver combo was the wrong height; no problem, Matt had the proper one and I was on my way in 15 minutes.
Especially liked the "kitchen" in back; fully stocked with utensils and the stove "sipped" propane.
Would definitely rent from Matt again!
