Scotts Valley is a small city located just north of Santa Cruz, California. The Paleozoic Indians lived in this region more than 10,000 years ago. It was settled in the 1800s by a Mexican citizen who moved his family here. When you search for an RV in Scotts Valley, you will be surrounded by some amazing natural beauty and rich history.

You can enjoy Wilder Ranch State Park near Santa Cruz, head over to Henry W. Coe State Park near Morgan Hill, or take a cruise down the coast to Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park near Big Sur, California. Another benefit of enjoying a camper rental in Scotts Valley is that you are a short drive south of San Francisco and Oakland. This means you can check out downtown San Francisco, Fisherman’s Wharf, and even cruise over the Golden Gate Bridge. Also, being so close to the Pacific Ocean, you could probably spend a week or more here and never run out of things to do.
