Originally known as Davisville, the city of Davis is a fantastic small city 15 miles west of Sacramento, known for being home to the University of California-Davis. This delightful college town began as an agricultural community in California's Central Valley, only to grow into a larger more prominent location after the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Today Davis is an enlightened community closely intertwined with its educational institution that is among the very best in the western United States. Historic neighborhoods and cultural centers highlight the city, as well as the amazing restaurants and fun college bars.

When you book an RV in Davis, there is a constant struggle thinking about whether to spend more time in town, or in the vast wilderness areas that make northern California so special. Between its easy access points to other large cities in the area, its charming city center, and the bevy of festivals and celebrations held in town, it's no wonder why so many people come to town and rent an RV for a vacation. Picnic Day, Celebrate Davis, and the Whole Earth Festival are a few of the amazing festivities happening in this lively area.
