Laredo dates back to the middle of the 18th century, founded in what was then known as New Spain. This European colony was eventually taken by the Republic of Texas and was later added to the United States after the Mexican-American War in the mid-19th century. Laredo also has the distinction of being one of the first official border crossings between the two countries.

When you search for an RV in Laredo, there are tons of places to visit within the city and its surrounding areas. Manicured city parks, bars, cafes, restaurants, art galleries, museums, and historic sites help make Laredo a fantastic vacation destination, particularly for those who want to explore new cultures. Just over the border is Nuevo Laredo, and a few hours' drive north of Laredo is San Antonio. Other cities in Texas are within reach when you have a Laredo camper rental, and the scenic Gulf Coast is easy to access too. On top of all that, there are countless events held in the city throughout the year, like Washington’s Birthday Celebration, the Border Beer Fest, and the Jalapeño Festival.
