Discover Truckee RV rentals for memorable road trips

In the midst of old-growth ponderosa pines and mighty coast Douglas-firs lies Truckee, California, a tiny old remnant of the wild west era. Formerly known as Coburn Station, Truckee evolved from pioneer encampment to train stop along the Transcontinental Railroad, and eventually became the elegant little outdoor paradise it is today. With whitewater rafting, mountain biking, and mountain climbing, and a short drive from both Tahoe City and Reno in Nevada, this recreation hub is perfectly suited for summertime visitors that want to take in the beauty of Nevada County and northern California, too. Although the wintertime is cold and snowy, it is one of the most popular snowboard and ski destinations in the country and attracts hordes of visitors after the first snowfall of the season.

Experience the Great Outdoors

Of all the notable reasons to visit northern California, the fact that the region is absolutely teeming with natural beauty stands out as the best and most obvious one. No matter what direction you head in with a Truckee camper rental, you will not be disappointed by the impressive mix of mountains, old growth forest, and high desert that surrounds you. The small city of Truckee is actually located within the boundaries of Tahoe National Forest, a sprawling collection of various tree species, most notably the giant sequoias which happen to be the most massive trees on Earth. Tahoe National Forest itself is surrounded by other national forests, like Plumas National Forest to the north, and El Dorado National Forest to the south. Plumas National Forest features over one million acres of pristine wilderness area in the rolling foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains; of these acres, 127,000 contain old growth forest full of many native species. El Dorado National Forest has abundant water and ample space for recreation. With 611 miles of streams brimming with fish to be caught, and 297 lakes and reservoirs, you will always have something to do and something to drink.

City Attractions

With its small historic downtown area, Truckee is a unique destination that will leave you entertained throughout the entirety of your stay. The wild west architecture drops you into another time period when you walk down Donner Pass Road, named for the infamous and doomed Donner settler party that sought to make it to the coast. Donner Memorial State Park also celebrates and memorializes the Donner Party; the visitor center in the park enables you to learn about the settler party and what went wrong, and the park even contains a monument to the settlers.

Where to Park It

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There is no shortage of campgrounds and RV parks in the Truckee area, so do not fret. Bring your Truckee luxury motorhome rental to Truckee River RV Park, just six miles from the downtown area. Situated on the gorgeous Truckee River, this park is magnificent, especially if you enjoy fishing or kayaking. Coachland RV Park is another safe bet just 20 minutes from the incredible Lake Tahoe. Donner Memorial State Park is a wonderful place to park the Truckee RV rental because it has a public boat ramp, waterfront access, and many miles of hiking trails. No matter where you stay, you will appreciate the beauty of Nevada County.</span></p>

Recent RV rental reviews in Truckee

Robert S.

September, 2025

Shelly and Robert were both communicative, accommodating and transparent before, during and after our rental. Their trailer was delivered, set up and retrieved without delay and as promised. The rental arrived fully equipped for our 3-day stay. Our needs were modest and their unit met those needs with room to spare. To be clear, our motivations for renting through Outdoorsy was to research trailer types and our own camping style prior to purchasing our own rv/trailer. Both the platform and Shelly and Robert's offerings helped my wife and I refine our conversation and search in advance of doing just that. We recommend the experience to everyone particularly if you're dealing with the quality of hosts that they represent.

Jason was easy to work with and communicated clearly. I gave him short notice and he responded quickly, which was appreciated. The trailer was excellent and just what I needed for a long weekend away. It was clean and all topped up with water, propane and a full battery. The bed was comfortable and big enough for me to stretch out even at 6’-2”. Would definitely recommend.
