Discover Waterford RV rentals for memorable road trips
The small city of Waterford, California sits on the Tuolumne River, several miles east of Modesto. Like many of the towns in the area, Waterford was settled by 49ers looking for prosperity and wealth in the form of precious gold. Once known as Bakersville, the town opted to change its name to Waterford after much confusion arose with regards to the similarly named Bakersfield.

Outdoors Adventures
You will find just how easy it is to leave the city behind in search of glorious nature when you rent an RV in Waterford. A drive in nearly any direction will enable you to visit some of the best wilderness areas and recreation destinations the state has to offer. Turlock Lake State Recreation Area on the edge of Turlock Lake is a nice place to start your trip off right. Bring your Waterford camper rental for some extravagant camping on the shores of a beautiful lake where swimming, canoeing, kayaking, motor boating, and fishing are welcomed activities. Birdwatching is also commonly enjoyed at the park due to the variety of migratory birds that stop in the park during their long-distance flights. Lake McClure is farther east towards the mountains, with two spectacular camping recreation areas on its shores that can be utilized when you bring your Waterford travel trailer rental for a mini-trip. Barrett Cove Recreation Area and McClure Point Recreation Area are popular places to take a break from the city life and enjoy the peace and quiet of the great outdoors. This lake is also commonly used for fishing, swimming, boating, and waterskiing by vacationers.
RV Parks to Visit
Any of the public or state parks in the area will do when you are searching for a place to camp with your Waterford motorhome rental overnight. Turlock Lake State Recreation Area or Modesto Reservoir Regional Park are more than serviceable options when you look for a place to sit on the beach, swim, or go camping.
City Sightseeing
Waterford is a charming town by the river, with splendid views overlooking the water. The small downtown has its fair share of eateries and shopping, but you might find it lacking in attractions. Waterford Historical Museum, however, is a fantastic place to spend some time in between the wilderness treks, or during a rainy day. This fun museum puts an intense focus on the town’s history and packs a lot of information into a tiny building.

Tim was excellent. It was the first time that we had rented a camper. He provided all of the essentials and was extremely quick to respond to all of our questions.

This was an excellent RV experience! The RV was clean and everything in working order, matches the description and no surprises. Kevin is such a helpful host though, he goes way above and beyond what I expected. He gave me great advice about the campground we were staying at, he sent me GPS directions to the cheapest gas around, and he was extremely flexible for pick up and drop off times!
