Discover Red Rock Canyon State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips

Somewhere out in the Mojave Desert in southern California, there's an intriguing landscape of pink fluted towers, red canyons, and layered weathered cliffs similar to what you might find in Utah or Arizona. Motorists traveling through this desert often overlook Red Rock Canyon State Park, making it a serene escape for RV camping. Many drivers take US-395 instead of California Highway 14, where the park is located, just over two hours north of Los Angeles. Its proximity to Hollywood made it an ideal backdrop for many western movies.

Camping at Red Rock Canyon State Park

The campground at Red Rock Canyon State Park may be primitive, but it’s great for RV camping thanks to its isolation.

The sites have a mix of pull-through and back-in driveways with a maximum vehicle length of 30 feet. You won't find any hookups at these sites, but there is a dump station, along with pit toilets and water spigots. You may also purchase firewood at the visitor center.

Exploring the Area

History buffs have a literal goldmine of activities near Red Rock Canyon State Park. Nearby explorations will take you to numerous old mining camps and Burro Schmidt's Tunnel, one of the wonders of the desert. A single person dug this his half-mile tunnel by hand between 1900 and 1938. Although it was constructed as a shortcut to haul ore, it was never used for that purpose when completed, and today takes visitors to spectacular views at the end of the tunnel – if you can find it.

The rv was very nice and clean. Comfortable beds and enough space to hangout inside if needed. Highly suggest these owners. They are extremely nice and make sure to show you everything you need to know about the trailer.
