RV Rental Wasco, CA

Located just over an hour's drive away is the 200,000-acre Carrizo Plain National Monument. This vast, remote area is well worth a visit in your Wasco motorhome rental. While it may not be as well known as some of the area’s other parks, Carrizo Plain is, in fact, home to the largest remaining alkali wetland in Southern California, the glistening white salt bed of Soda Lake amidst the wild, open grasslands. Visit the stunning Painted Rock, first decorated by Native Americans around 3,000-4,000 years ago. Many of the old ranches and farming buildings also provide historical insight into the area, with some featuring on the National Register. Due to the remote nature of the park, it is a great place to auto-tour and with your Wasco luxury RV rental, you’ll have all the amenities you need to eat and relax while enjoying the stunning scenery.
