RV Rental Kelseyville, CA

Being the central town between three picturesque parks, the city is an ideal location for lovers of the great outdoors, with each park offering a very different experience for visitors to discover. Each park is a few miles drive out of town, perfect to park your Kelseyville motorhome rental and set out for the day!

Being just two miles out of Kelseyville, Mount Konocti, Lake County’s oldest volcano, is the closest of the three parks. It is a prominent landmark, being visible from almost every location throughout the county. This volcano provides the perfect occasion for those looking for a challenging hike with rewarding views. You can choose between three different hikes, all of which take you to three different summits in the park. The most popular is the six-mile-long Wright Peak Summit Trail, elevating you 1600 feet above sea level, with a panoramic view across Clearlake. An incredible opportunity for those who are willing to take on the challenge!

Heading inland from town towards Cloverdale, you will come across the fantastic Highlands Spring Recreational Area. The area covers 146 acres of land, providing ample space for all sorts of recreational activities such as hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and horseback riding. Note that only non-motorized boats are allowed in this reservoir, creating a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere – perfect for the keen kayakers and canoeists out there!

The last of the parks, but definitely not the least is Clearlake State Park. This is a stunning location with a huge lake as its centerpiece. Having a surface area of 68 square miles, this area is teeming with water-based activities such as private boat hire, water skiing, and sailing! The lake even claims to have the best bass fishing in America as well as an abundance of rainbow trout, crappie, and catfish. So grab that rod out of your Kelseyville camper rental and get fishing!

Although there are no campgrounds in Kelseyville itself, its prime location near to Clear Lake State Park provides you with the choice of four sites, all a convenient 10-minute drive away.

The campgrounds offer basic amenities with no electrical or water hookups available. The only difference between the campsites are the locations; all provide similar size pitches with allocated spaces for a fire pit, a table and a food storage box as well as nearby paid facilities for showers and toilets.

Kelsey Creek is the only site with lakeside campsites and is ideal for those who enjoy fishing and water-based activities. Lower Bay View Campsite is a short walk away from the lake, but more suitable for those looking to enjoy a leisurely swim. The remaining two sites, Upper Bay view and Cole Creek are nestled further into the fauna with great access to walking trails and panoramic views of the city and lake.

During peak season these sites tend to fill up fast! Don’t worry though, if you miss out on a spot head up north to Lakeport, or south to Edgewater Resort both of which have plenty of options to park your RV and are no more than 15 minutes from Kelseyville. Willow Point RV and Campground in Lakeport offers 64 sites featuring picnic tables, BBQ/grills, and full hookups for your luxury Kelseyville luxury motorhome rental.

Should you need a quick overnight stay, consider Walmart, truck stops, and larger grocery stores. The closest Walmart is located in Lower Lake and camping may be available at this location. Just check with the manager before parking for the night.

Although the majority of activities in the area are based around the outdoors, your Kelseyville camper rental provides a great way to get to know the cities.

Just outside of town, The Ely Stage Stop and Museum is home to the Lake County Historical Society. This has been named one of the best museums for preserving Lake County’s past, present, and future history. The museum itself is housed in an old agricultural building, an apt environment for the informative displays of the late 1800’s domestic and agricultural industry.

Once you have had your fill on the history and astronomy of the area, treat yourself and head over to one of the many wineries here.
