RV Rental Tomales, CA

Point Reyes National Seashore, encompassing nearly 75,000 acres, has several miles of hiking and horseback riding trails. In addition to Tule elks, which were nearly wiped out in the 1800s, visitors will enjoy elephant seals, which are endangered, sunning themselves on the beaches, migrating whales from the lighthouse lookout point, and Coho salmon spawning in springtime. Point Reyes is the site of the largest harbor seal breeding colony in California. As a sanctuary for endangered Western Snowy Plovers, dogs are restricted from certain stretches of shoreline where their nests. They otherwise are welcome in most areas. Photographers and nature lovers will appreciate the Alamere Falls, which cascades over a 30-foot high cliff into the salty water. Note that the hike to access this section of beach is challenging. This park allows only backcountry camping or boat-in camping. There are several campgrounds in the nearby Marin and Sonoma Counties, however. Parking lots are roomy and can accommodate an RV rental.

Dillon Beach is the closest semi-public beach. Owned by the Dillon Beach Resort, non-guests can use the dog-friendly beach for a small fee. Parasailing, windsurfing, and of course, surfing are popular activities. The beach is described as an “exposed break that has dependable surf.” It breaks to both left and right. Sharks, sea lions, and seals are frequently sighted but generally are not aggressive (unless provoked). Tidal pools often form near the rocky crags, populated with small marine life like anemones, jellyfish, fish, and coral.

When you book an RV in Tomales, CA, don’t forget to figure out where you’ll park it while you embark on an adventure of a lifetime. Most of the roads in this area are country road and lack pullover spots where you can safely rest overnight. Lawson’s Landing near Dillion is a boat-in campground, but they welcome those with an RV. The RV sites overlook the dunes, and all sites include a fire ring and access to restrooms and showers. There are no hookups; however, the views of the vast Pacific Ocean may make up for it.

A few miles further to the north, Bodega Dunes Campground in Bodega Bay is a no-frills campground. Though hot showers, sanitation, and dump stations are available, there are no hookups. The boardwalk access to the beach is a nice plus.

Alternatively, the KOA in Petaluma may be an option. The sites can accommodate a travel trailer rental up to 100 feet, and in addition to several features like a hot tub and dog park, it has a communal kitchen for the guests to use.

Almost a one-street town, hop into a Tomales motorhome rental and hit the road to see what all there is. Explore the many attractions California has to offer, including the local farms, vineyards, museums, theaters, restaurants, and more. One of the main attractions near Tomales is the Ramini Mozzarella, a ranch populated by water buffalo. Visitors can tour the farm, pet the buffalo, and purchase mozzarella made by the buffalo cows. The cheese is distinctly different from a traditional mozzarella and is sold in only the finest cheese shops around the country.

Though there are several established wine tours, you can just as easily embark on a self-guided tour in a luxury RV rental. Visit the dozens upon dozens of wineries and apple orchards dotting the landscape. Start at the Azari vineyard, which specializes in an award-winning pinot noir. Tours are available upon request, and the tasting room, which looks out on dreamy vine-clad hills, is open only on Saturdays.

Hit the links! Nestled in between farms, wineries, and groves of old-growth woods, golf courses pepper the countryside. Northwood Golf Club in Monte Rio is a serene course lined by towering redwood trees. Having good control over your swing is a must. If a golf ball slices into the trees, it’s lost. The course was designed by Dr. Alister MacKenzie, and the fairways are often described as “a genuine challenge.”

Seafood and beach towns are a natural pairing. The Spud Point Crab Company is a little restaurant known for its to-die-for clam chowder and crabs.
