With everything from stunning mountain peaks to almost a thousand miles of coastline and cities with a special kind of vibrance, the Golden State has an adventure for everyone.

Whether you’re visiting National Parks or surfing at the beach and shopping in downtown Los Angeles, California is chock full of amazing places to explore. Wherever you’re ready to roam, a camper van rental lets you take your accommodations with you.

Want to explore California’s amazing outdoor scene? Camp under the stars in true outdoor bliss with the comfort of your camper van and all its amenities. California’s wild terrain includes cliff-lined beaches, redwood forests, towering mountains, rolling valley farmlands (and wineries!), plus wild desert landscapes.

Yosemite National Park in central California is home to some of the world's highest waterfalls and the iconic Half Dome. If you’re excited to see the tallest trees on the planet, look no further than Redwood and Sequoia National Parks and their towering trees of the same name.

Lassen Volcanic National Park, along with 150 miles of hiking trails showcases all four types of volcanoes found in the world, shield, composite, cinder cone, and plug dome. Kings Canyon National Park has similar terrain to Yosemite Valley and is home to the deepest canyon in the United States at over a mile and a half deep.

The rest of Northern California puts on a spectacular nature show as well. Seemingly endless national forests stretch through the Sierra Nevada Mountains and surrounding gorgeous Lake Tahoe. Drive through world-famous wine regions and make camp at one of a dozen vineyards in Sonoma County that allow overnight travelers.

San Diego is known as America’s Finest City. Situated on the coast of Southern California, it has attractions for the entire family. The San Diego Zoo, the museums of Balboa Park, and the vibrant downtown area are just a few. Local parks have beautiful hikes for all skill levels, and San Diego has more than 60 beaches to choose from. Talk about the perfect coastal city.

San Francisco is famous for its cable cars, Fisherman's Wharf, the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island. Just an hour from Point Reyes National Seashore, with beautiful unspoiled beaches and a famous lighthouse with sweeping ocean views. Whether your heart is calling for the mountains or longing for the coast, camper van rentals with GoCamp come equipped with everything you need to hop in and hit the road.

California is also home to some of the most iconic theme parks in the world. The most famous of these is of course Disneyland.

Whether your inner child is calling or your kids are along for the camper van adventure, you’ll be riding in style when you arrive. There’s truly something for everyone to enjoy on an epic vacation in a camper van.

Nearby Los Angeles, is home to Hollywood, the entertainment capital of the world. Keep your eyes open to spot a celebrity, sip a cocktail on a rooftop bar on the Sunset Strip, or ride around on a beach cruiser on the Venice and Santa Monica beach boardwalks. Los Angeles has activities and attractions that make you feel like you are on top of the world.  

Further north Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Monterey Bay, make up the four regions of the Central Coast. There, you’ll find everything you would expect and more from California’s seashore. Enjoy miles of rocky shoreline, beaches ideal for swimming and surfing, and panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. A class-B camper van lets you easily go from exploring cities and coastlines to discovering towering mountains, rolling wine country hills and striking deserts.

The Inland Empire’s uncrowded wilderness feels like an insider’s secret. The region spans from the desert oasis of Palm Springs to the alpine scenery that surrounds Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear to the wineries of the Temecula Valley. You can hike Mount San Gorgonio, nicknamed “Old Grayback," it’s the tallest peak in Southern California, at 11,502 feet.
