RV Rental Riverbank, CA

If you want to spend some time outside, all you have to do is park your motorhome rental in Riverbank and walk to Jacob Myers Park. Here you’ll find scenic trails for hiking, a horseshoe pit, a gazebo for picnics or just relaxing in the shade. Since the Stanislaus River runs alongside the park, you can go boating and fishing or cool down a bit if the sun is too hot. If you don’t actually mind some heat, there’s also a barbecue area.

If the river isn’t big enough for your liking, Woodward Reservoir Regional Park is quite close to your RV trailer rental in Riverbank. Here you can swim in the lake, where you can also go boating or fishing. This is a great place to enjoy some wildlife, and hopefully, you’ll spot a raccoon or a cottontail. If that’s not adventurous enough for you, there’s both water skiing and go-karting to please your inner daredevil.

In order to see a more unique landscape, a visit to Red Hills Recreation Management Area is a good idea. Here you can hike on trails running through serpentine-based soils that contribute to a rare mix of plant species and admire both the thorny buckbrush and foothill pine, as well as many annual wildflowers. Over 80 different kinds of birds, including eagles, have been spotted here, and you might also encounter bobcats and foxes. It sure would be a shame to leave the camera in the RV.

There are plenty of grocery stores and gas stations in Riverbank, so whether you want a snack or some RV fuel, it’ll be easy to get. To find a nice place to park your RV though, you might need to have a look outside the city itself. If you don’t mind the 20-minute drive to Woodland Reservoir, you can stay at their campground. At the site, you’ll find full hookups as well as showers and restrooms. If you brought the family, this place is both child and pet-friendly, and when you need a break, you can stroll along the trails or go fishing while the kids argue about who gets the front seat in the RV.

Spend 40 minutes on the road and you’ll arrive at French Camp RV Park Resort. This resort could also be good for the whole family: it has both dog parks and playgrounds as well as Wi-Fi to keep everyone happy. Full hookups, restrooms, and showers, as well as laundry facilities, can also be found here. There’s also a swimming pool, an on-site store, and horseshoe pits - and you get your own patio. It’s as close you can get to glamping without bringing your own bathtub and champagne bucket.
