The 'Home of Camellias", Temple City is located in San Gabriel Valley within half an hour's drive of Los Angeles. The city was founded by Walter Temple on a land that was once part of Rancho Santa Anita. In 1923, he bought around 300 acres of land from the ranch and divided it in into lots he envisioned would be affordable to the average American.

Today, Temple City is part of a cluster of cities that makes up the greater Los Angeles area, a region surrounded by hills and mountains of varying elevations, most notably the San Gabriel Mountains to the north. The Pacific Ocean is less than two hour’s drive by Temple City camper rental so if you’re planning a multi-day trip on the Pacific Coast Highway, search for an RV in Temple City and you’ll be well-placed for an epic journey.

Discover Temple City


A Choice of San Gabriel to Santa Monica, or Malibu to Ventura

Away from the noise of Los Angeles lies a world humming with fascinating animal and plant life. At the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains within 20 minutes’ drive by motorhome rental in Temple City awaits Eaton Canyon Natural Area. Join a docent-led nature walk or set off on your own, following shorter trails lined with coast live oak, white sage, and elderberry. Also keep an eye out for the coyotes, skunks, and chipmunks regularly sighted in Eaton Canyon.

Deeper into the San Gabriel Mountains, experience the rougher edge of Los Angeles in the Angeles National Forest. If you're looking for an easy day hike, the Gabrielino National Recreation Trail offers sections of wooded trail following streams that you can explore. A more challenging climb awaits at the summit of the almost 9,400-foot Mount Baden-Powel where your efforts will be rewarded with panoramic views of the Mojave Desert. Or time your visit on weekends from April through November and rent an RV in Temple City so you can join a guided tour of the Mount Wilson Observatory and learn how their pioneering work changed our understanding of the universe.

Head west and the Pacific Ocean comes into view less than an hour after your RV trailer rental in Temple City emerges from Los Angeles’ legendary traffic. Where you take your motorhome or camper depends on what you want to see and do. Santa Monica has its iconic pier and some wonderful spots for surfing while Malibu may be a more fitting destination if you’re bringing a Temple City luxury RV rental. If you want a smaller crowd and epic surf conditions, Ventura a little farther up the coast might just be worth your time and fuel. Ventura is also the gateway to the Channel Islands just a few miles off the coast so you won’t find it hard catching an excursion from Ventura harbor if you wish to snorkel in the island’s clear waters.

Where to Park Your RV

Finding parking for a Temple City RV rental by owner comes with a bit of challenge, as you’ll have to drive a few miles out of town to find suitable spaces. But if you’re willing to go the distance, you’ll have several options offering full hook-up services and other amenities. One of the closest campgrounds with full hookup service is a half an hour’s drive away, and if you’re ready to drive a few more miles, you’ll find campgrounds closer to Disneyland (which tend to have amenities like heated swimming pools, laundry facilities, and shuttles), and campgrounds managed by the state. Somewhere in the mix, you’ll find an RV park open only to military families.

You can still stay close to downtown Temple City if you don’t mind spending a night or two in a Walmart store parking lot. Secure approval from the store manager, and you can park your Temple City rental RV at the Rosemead or Duarte branch, both within five miles of the city. There are also numerous gas stations around town that are open 24/7.

From the Home of Camellias to the City of Angels

Pink camellias are front and center during the yearly Camellia Festival parade held in the last weekend of February. The event is designed to introduce the city’s youth to civic participation so children in your group will likely be excited to see that the stars of the show are their age. There are also games, rides, and arts and crafts for children to get excited about.

If you’re here in April, try to catch the St. Luke’s Parish Fiesta. Carnival games, rides, and live entertainment are featured in this three-day event which attracts residents of the greater San Gabriel Valley. Browse for souvenirs to take home at the boutique and craft fair or sample the local cuisine at the beer garden.

With Los Angeles inside an hour’s ride aboard the Foothill Transit Authority bus or the Los Angeles Metro bus, you can leave your RV rental in Temple City in a safe place and explore L.A.’s bounty of attractions, many of which are museums and art galleries. You’ll also have lots of options when it comes to parks (amusement parks included), theaters and sporting stadiums, and places to eat and drink. The culinary offerings of Los Angeles are as diverse as the languages spoken by its migrant residents so if you’re on a hunt for exotic food like Armenian, Ethiopian, or Persian, you’re likely to find it here in the City of Angels.

All roads lead to Los Angeles in Southern California, but the opposite is also true. Whether you’re headed into its majestic mountains or its fabulous beaches, you’re bound to discover something you’ll adore when you book an RV rental in Temple City, CA, embrace the freedom of the road, and follow where it leads you.
