San Pablo is a city in Contra Costa County, California, but it is almost entirely surrounded by the city of Richmond, which perhaps lends the city an aura of anonymity. It is based around a post office which was established in 1854; San Pablo was incorporated much later in 1948. The city lies on top of a sedimentary plain that stretches from Berkeley Hills to San Pablo Bay, although the city limits don't extend all the way to the shoreline. Some notable celebrities who live in or are from San Pablo include former MLB outfielder Gene Clines and guitarist Gary Holt (from the heavy metal bands Slayer and Exodus).

Search for an RV in Contra Costa County and you have your choice from a vast number of RV types and models, all perfectly suited to the Californian environment and lifestyle. There are some other towns and cities that might be of interest to travelers in this area. For example, Vallejo was named after General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, who was one of the first members of the (U.S.) California State Senate (a neighboring city, Benicia, was named after his wife). Martinez has three international sister cities: Dunbar, Scotland; Hanchuan, China; and Stresa, Italy. Lafayette has a strong investment in the arts, with a public art collection, an art and wine festival, and summer jazz workshop, both held annually, and much more. Alameda city is located in Alameda County, on Alameda Island. San Rafael began as a ranch town around the Mission San Rafael Arcángel and was later invigorated by the arrival of the railroad. Your San Pablo RV rental is how you explore the geography and history of this area.

The Great Outdoors

Mount Tamalpais Watershed is part of the Marin Municipal Water District and is a major source of domestic water. For this reason, it is a managed recreational resource where the public may hike or go cycling, picnic or do other activities on a limited basis. Keep your San Pablo motorhome rental nearby and you can return to comfort and lunch in the lap of luxury once your activities are finished.

Point Reyes National Seashore is a natural sanctuary reserve, sheltering over 1,500 plant and animal species; it is also a managed recreational area, allowing hiking and cycling, kayaking, and much more. The park stretches from the coastal area where ocean breakers crash into rocks to open grassland, brush-covered hillsides and forested ridges. Depending on the season, visitors can witness elephant seals on the nearby beaches, informational guided hikes by volunteers who are cataloging mushroom species or simply picnic or camp overnight.

Mount Diablo State Park is a popular area for hiking, nature viewing, and photography. It is a managed outdoor recreational area that was established in 1851. It has a visitor center, constructed with sandstone blocks that were quarried from within the park, which has exhibits demonstrating the area's culture and history. On a clear day, you can see the Golden Gate Bridge and beyond from the summit; cycling and horseback riding are also allowed.

RV Parks

There are numerous RV parks and campgrounds within a reasonable distance of San Pablo. Some are a combination of mobile home parks and RV campgrounds. Your San Pablo travel trailer rental is the missing piece to create a comfortable home-away-from-home while you are on the road.

Exploring The City

There is a lot to do in and around San Pablo, certainly enough to fill up your entire vacation if need be. There are many outdoor parks, all of them relaxing and entertaining, but those wishing some indoor entertainment can try their hand at a local casino. Children looking for indoor action can try the entertainment centers (arcades) or take in a movie at a local cinema. There are city tours and a river rafting and tubing company. There are craft beer pubs and wine bars for the adults who have had enough walking for one day (it happens). Whatever you decide to do, keep your San Pablo RV trailer rental on hand to include it in the foreground of your pictures.

Dining out in San Pablo is a cinch. There is a wide variety of options available, from inexpensive diners to moderately priced and fine dining venues. Patrons can choose from barbecue or steakhouses, seafood, alternate cuisines, and more. One Thai restaurant offers traditional Thai dishes and Bangkok street food on its menu; if you make it here, be sure to try the pumpkin curry soup with sliced beef or chicken. Wash it down with a Thai iced tea.

While you are eating your way into heaven, don't forget about your San Pablo luxury RV rental and its built-in kitchen. Sometimes the best meals you can eat are the ones you make; after all, who knows your taste preferences better than you? Grab some groceries from a local market, throw out the lawn chairs, and enjoy dinner under an evening sky. You've earned it.
