RV Rental Thousand Oaks, CA

As is often the case in Southern California, RV parks are few and far between. One of the closest parks to Thousand Oaks is actually in Malibu, 20 miles to the South. Malibu Beach RV Park has 142 sites just steps from the beach, however, prices are what you’d expect from a park with such stunning ocean views. A cheaper alternative is to take the Thousand Oaks RV rental a few miles to the North, to Malibu Creek State Park. The park only has nine spaces for RVs, so it’s important that you reserve it sometime in advance. The landscapes around the park are a popular filming location and can be seen in Planet of the Apes and M*A*S*H*.

Another option is to park the Thousand Oaks motorhome rental at Oak Park in Simi Valley, about 14 miles to the North. Sites are inexpensive, however, they’re located very close to a busy railroad track, so you’ll probably need some ear plugs to get a good night’s sleep. Simi Valley also has the closest Walmart to Thousand Oaks, so you might want to stock up on provisions for the Thousand Oaks rental RV while you’re there. The Tapo Canyon Park, about 23 miles North of Thousand Oaks, is much quieter, but only has 16 spaces for RVs. The concrete pads are fairly small though and might not be suitable for larger Thousand Oaks RV rentals. If nothing else, you can park your rig at Walnut RV Park in Northridge, 22 miles to the East. Public transportation between the cities is slow and requires multiple transfers, so it’s best to find somewhere closer if you can.
