Thinking about having a holiday in the Golden State? Take your next vacation off the beaten path and book an RV in Gardena. The city is located in the South Bay region just outside of Los Angeles, between Santa Monica and Long Beach. The story of Gardena begins in 1784 when Spanish soldier Juan Jose Dominguez received a land grant as recognition for outstanding military service. The land granted, which covered around 43,000 acres, included an area called Gardena Valley.

The city didn’t get its own place on the map until the railroads came through in the late 1800s. Today, the area is a bustling city as well as a hub of Japanese cultured business and cuisine. You’ll also find an eclectic selection of Mexican, American and Asian restaurants to try. There are plenty of places to do some shopping, including major retailers, boutiques and antique stores. You’ll be close to all this and more with your travel trailer rental in Gardena.
