Discover Washington RV rentals for memorable road trips

Originally known as Indiana Camp, Washington is a small census-designated enclave in the mountains of eastern California. Just a couple of essential buildings are the only thing that tip off visitors to the fact that there is indeed a small village in the area. Washington was first settled during the Gold Rush of 1849 by prospectors from Indiana (hence the name Indiana Camp) and now relies on a thriving summertime tourism industry to sustain its local economy.

Ever it was very kind to show us around the RV and how everything worked so I could RV with confidence. While it was just a short trip for us this time we look forward to using gain on a longer trip!

Patty and John were outstanding hosts and the trailer was perfect. The trailer was well stocked, very comfortable, in great shape and clean and ready to go. Patty and John gave me a tour of the camper and complete instructions to make set up and use super easy. I camped on the coast for 5 days and loved the open feel of the trailer, the great windows, the slide out, and all of the accessories. I'll definitely rent from them again.
