Why choose Los Angeles for your road trip
Los Angeles — a city worth exploring
Los Angeles stretches across 1,302 square kilometres of coastal basin, making it the largest city by area in California and one shaped by its iconic car culture since the first freeway opened in 1940. From the star-studded Hollywood Walk of Fame to the world-class collections at The Getty Center, the striking architecture of Walt Disney Concert Hall, and the living ecosystems on display at the California Science Center, Los Angeles rewards curious travellers at every turn. Santa Monica Pier sits just 25 km west of downtown, while the Joshua Tree National Park entrance is roughly 210 km east — both ideal day-trip or overnight destinations when you have your own wheels. The city's wide boulevards and generous parking infrastructure make it surprisingly approachable for larger vehicles, though the canyon roads leading into the Santa Monica Mountains deserve a little extra attention. Hiring a campervan or motorhome through Yescapa connects you directly with local owners across Los Angeles, so you can pick up a vehicle in the neighbourhood that suits your itinerary and benefit from personalised tips on where to park, camp, and explore. With a campervan as your base, you can wake up beside the Pacific one morning and be deep in the desert the next — all without worrying about hotel check-out times.
Best time to visit
Los Angeles enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate year-round, making any season a great time to visit. Spring brings the LA Times Festival of Books each April on the USC campus, while October's West Hollywood Halloween Carnival draws creative crowds from across the region. Summer is the busiest period for campervan travel, so booking your hire on Yescapa a few weeks ahead helps you lock in the best choice from local owners. Winter offers quieter campsites and comfortable daytime temperatures around Los Angeles, perfect for exploring without the crowds.
Top getaways from Los Angeles
Los Angeles is the perfect base for exploring the region by motorhome or campervan. Here are our 6 must-see getaways
Los Angeles to Malibu
60km west 1–3 days
Head 60 km west from Los Angeles along the Pacific Coast Highway for a quick coastal escape. Stop at Zuma Beach for a swim and explore the trails at Solstice Canyon. Campervan parking is available at several beachside lots, making overnight stays easy along this scenic stretch of coastline.
Los Angeles to Big Bear Lake
85km east 1–4 days
Drive 85 km east from Los Angeles into the San Bernardino Mountains for pine forests and alpine air. Visit Big Bear Alpine Zoo and paddle across Big Bear Lake itself. The mountain roads are well-maintained, and several campgrounds near the lake welcome motorhomes with full hook-ups.
Los Angeles to Santa Barbara
160km northwest 3–6 days
Travel 160 km northwest from Los Angeles along the coast to reach Santa Barbara's red-tile rooftops and palm-lined waterfront. Wander the Santa Barbara Mission and taste local wines in the Funk Zone.

Los Angeles to Death Valley
370km northeast 5–8 days
Set out 370 km northeast from Los Angeles to reach Death Valley National Park, home to Badwater Basin and the colourful rocks of Artists Palette. Fill up on fuel and water before entering the park, as services are limited. Furnace Creek Campground offers spacious pitches suitable for motorhomes year-round.

Arrive early at popular spots, especially on weekends, and consider using park-and-ride facilities to access central attractions by public transport.

Frequently asked questions
Yescapa's peer-to-peer model connects you with private owners across Los Angeles, which often means lower daily rates than traditional rental depots. Use the date and filter options to compare vehicles in neighbourhoods like Van Nuys, Torrance, or Pasadena. Booking outside the peak summer months and choosing mid-week pick-ups can also help you secure a better deal on your campervan or motorhome hire.
For couples or solo travellers exploring Los Angeles and the coast, a compact campervan with a pop-top roof is easy to park and manoeuvre on canyon roads. Families of four or more will appreciate a motorhome with a fixed bed and dinette area. On Yescapa you can filter by berth count and vehicle length, so you can match the right size to your group before you book.
Prices on Yescapa in the Los Angeles area typically start from around £70–£100 per day for a compact campervan, while larger motorhomes range from £120–£180 per day. Because you are hiring directly from local owners, rates are often more competitive than fleet agencies. Insurance and roadside assistance options are built into the booking process for added peace of mind.
Yes — many owners on Yescapa welcome pets in their vehicles. When searching for a campervan or motorhome near Los Angeles, use the pet-friendly filter to see which listings accept dogs. Nearby campsites like Leo Carrillo State Park and Bolsa Chica State Beach also allow dogs on leads, so you and your four-legged companion can enjoy the coastline together.
Yescapa owners are spread across the greater Los Angeles area, so you can arrange collection in neighbourhoods such as Burbank, Long Beach, or Santa Monica. Each listing shows the pick-up location on a map, and you can message the owner to confirm details. Choosing a pick-up point close to your first destination saves driving time and lets you start your road trip sooner.

Alles super, Fahrzeug, Vermieter und Ablauf!

We had the best trip with the van "Fiona" we rented by Cuca - the most amazing host. There was no problems with the van, and it was driving great for an old car. The van also had everything we needed like a portabel shower, a sink with running water, a cooler and a much needed parasol. Cuca recommended the best beaches and places, and responded quickly to any questions we had. We cant recommend Cuca and the van enough!

Alles lief reibungslos, ab dem ersten Kontakt! Übergabe, Einweisung des Vans waren sehr ausführlich, Abholzeit alles verlief problemlos u angenehm einfach ! Wir haben das erste Mal Ibiza erkundet u waren das erste Mal im Camper unterwegs u es war ein Wahnsinns Erlebnis! Gabriele u Ihr Mann waren sooo freundlich u hilfsbereit, auch bei kleinen Planänderung super unkompliziert! Der Camper war absoluter Luxus. Wirklich alles ist vorhanden, um einen sorgenfreien Trip zu genießen. Eine Dusche unterwegs, hat uns so oft den Abend gerettet! Super sauber, teilweise nagelneues Inventar! Mit Liebe eingerichtet u durchdacht! Besser hätten wir es nicht antreffen können ! Einen riesen Dank an die beiden, die uns diesen unvergesslichen Trip ermöglicht haben!
