RV Rental Richmond, BC

You’re never far from a scenic and serene walking trail when you reserve a travel trailer rental in Richmond. Richmond has an extensive network of trails over 80 kilometers (50 miles) long. Generally flat terrain in remarkable landscapes, these trails are perhaps the best way to explore the city. Pack your favorite pair of hiking shoes or rent a bike instead. Whether you’re in the mood to visit a beach, a protected wetland area, scenic green spaces, or a popular park, hop on one of the trails, and make your way around town.

Enjoy the ocean, forests, and mountains at Lighthouse Park, one of the most scenic parks in Vancouver. Home to old-growth western redcedars and some of the largest Douglas firs in the region, various trails that meander through the woods offer spectacular views of the water. Head deep into the lush 185-acre virgin rainforest or choose a trail down to the craggy coastline instead. You can circle the park and reach the lighthouse at the end of your hike, or you can take a more direct route to Point Atkinson Lighthouse. Take in the towering 18.3-meter (60 foot) lighthouse, enjoy a picnic in the park, or, during the summer, climb the dozens of routes on solid granite at Lighthouse Park.

Spanish Banks in Vancouver is a series of beaches on the shores of English Bay. Each beach is different, but they all have lifeguards on duty, and two have water wheelchairs.

Even if you’re not a Buddhist, International Buddhist Temple is an amazing place to visit when you book an RV rental in Richmond. Known as the most authentic traditional Chinese imperial-style temple in all of North America, you’ll feel like you’re stepping into Beijing’s Forbidden City when you visit. Since 1983, when the temple’s tall wooden doors first opened, it has been alluring guests with its fierce-looking lion statues, golden Buddha figures, aromatic incense, and colorful tile-topped halls. And before you leave, be sure to stop by the gardens. Decorated like a traditional Chinese garden, you’ll find pine and spruce trees, fountains, gazebos, ponds, and limestone rock arrangements. Be sure to check it out when you rent an RV in Richmond.
