Experience small-town charm amid stunning Spanish Mission architecture during your next Southern California vacation; book an RV rental in Riverside. Although it’s part of the Greater Los Angeles metropolitan area, the city of Riverside is an hour’s drive east of L.A., in a region known as the Inland Empire. The city offers outdoor adventurers a wide variety of destinations that are perfect for day trips.

In this sunny city, the California citrus industry was born. In 1871, Riverside settlers planted orange trees, launching the citrus boom of California’s agricultural sector. One of the trees still stands in Riverside today. If you’re looking for fantastic hiking opportunities (with a side of some really fresh orange juice), book an RV in Riverside County, and experience all that this SoCal city has to offer.

Commuter rails connect Riverside to the L.A. metro area, so while you’re here, you can easily reach Los Angeles for a day of play. Look for the bright red, white, and blue buses, and you can access various points around Riverside and the adjacent towns of Banning, Beaumont, and Corona.

Soak up the sun on your hiking tour around Southern California, and prepare for some of the most stunning vistas and glorious sunsets imaginable.

Discover Riverside


The Great Outdoors

There is so much exploring to be done with a camper rental in Riverside. The city is flanked on the northwest side by Mount Rubidoux, creating a glorious backdrop for the city. The mountain’s summit is a fairly easy climb with two options: a slower, gradual trail and a quicker but steeper path. Regardless of which route you choose, the views at the top are splendid. You will be treated to panoramic vistas of the Santa Ana River, Riverside, and the surrounding deserts.

If you want an excuse to take the Riverside RV rental for a spin, pack up and head to the Angeles National Forest, just 45 minutes’ drive north of the city. Hike along the 176-mile segment of the Pacific Crest Trail that runs through the park, go kayaking in one of the park’s lakes, or spend the evening fishing and watch the sun sink below the horizon. If that sounds like the perfect day, park the RV at one of the Angeles National Forest campsites, some with electric hookups available.

Challenge your mountain hiking skills at the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument near Palm Desert. This stunning mountain range beckons slightly more experienced hikers to conquer its many peaks. Depending on the season, views range from colorful wildflowers to snow-capped mountains, but unforgettable sunrises and sunsets happen every day.

RV Parks

It’s easy to find a place to stay while RV camping in Riverside. RV parks and campgrounds are dotted in and around the city. For amenity-rich camping with convenient access to Riverside’s attractions, book a campsite at Terrace Village RV Park. Full hookups are offered at each site, and guests can also take advantage of the on-site swimming pool, hot tub, and modern restrooms. Mission RV Park is a few miles northeast of Riverside. The park is pet-friendly and offers electric hookups and WiFi access.

Head 30 miles north to escape the city scene for a rustic yet modern camping experience at Bonita Ranch Campground. Campsites come with water and electric connections, and some offer pull-through access. Amenities include restrooms, showers, and dump stations.

Additional campsites near Riverside can be found in the state parks surrounding the city. RV campgrounds at Mount San Jacinto State Park and Chino Hills State Park can accommodate most rigs, though some sites need to be reserved well in advance.

Exploring the City

When you can’t hike another mountain, look to downtown Riverside. The pedestrian-friendly place is perfect if you’re looking for a night out on the town. Choose from a variety of restaurant themes and cuisines, take in a show at a performance venue, or stop for a signature drink at one of the bars.

Nightlife isn’t all that Riverside has to offer. Families can spend the day at the local amusement park. The thrill-filled park features rides, slides, miniature golf, and performances. Take the kids to Hunter Hobby Park, and you might be able to catch a ride on the mini steam train. Other recreational facilities include sports fields, a short trail, and picnic tables.

If you’re looking for something a little more educational, visit the March Field Air Museum. Learn about the history of flight and aviation warfare while looking at real planes on display. The museum boasts a collection of almost 80 historic planes, each with its own fascinating story.

Kick up some dust at Desert Daze, held each fall in nearby Moreno Beach. This three-day psych-rock music festival is more than just jamming. Workshops, craft booths, and yoga sessions round out the inspirational, mind-expanding experience. Line up an RV rental for Desert Daze, and you can camp on the scene, steps away from the invigorating vibes.

Bust out of the ‘burbs and head just an hour’s drive west to Los Angeles for a nearly endless array of entertainment opportunities. Brave the traffic, and you can enjoy sightseeing, celebrity spotting, and the laid-back L.A. lifestyle. Don’t know where to go first? Disneyland. It’s always Disneyland. Other excellent spots to check out include Griffith Park, complete with a planetarium, a zoo, and a beautiful botanical garden. The Santa Monica Pier features carnival rides, shops, and unique dining venues on the Pacific Coast, and campers craving some arts and culture can visit The Getty.

Roll into the eastern reaches of L.A.’s metro area when you rent an RV in Riverside. Dabble in some big-city attractions and delve into the surrounding mountainous wilderness areas. Then return to Riverside’s calm, suburban atmosphere and settle in for a campfire under the stars.
