Los Angeles International Airport, known worldwide as LAX, handles over 88 million passengers annually and serves as the primary gateway to Southern California's sprawling coastline, desert landscapes, and mountain ranges. Situated just 29 km from downtown Los Angeles and roughly 170 km from Joshua Tree National Park, LAX puts you within easy reach of some of the most iconic road trip territory in the United States. From the Santa Monica Pier to the Getty Center, from the surf breaks of Huntington Beach to the towering redwoods of Sequoia National Park, the region surrounding Los Angeles offers an extraordinary range of experiences. The Pacific Coast Highway stretches north and south from the city, winding past dramatic cliffs and sandy coves that are perfectly suited to campervan travel. Inland, the San Gabriel Mountains rise to over 3,000 metres, offering cooler elevations and forested campgrounds just an hour from the coast. Whether you fancy a weekend loop along the Malibu coastline or a multi-week adventure reaching Death Valley — roughly 450 km northeast of LAX — a motorhome gives you the freedom to cover ground at your own pace. Through Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from local owners based across the greater Los Angeles area, choosing from compact vans ideal for couples to larger family-friendly vehicles, all with the personal touch and competitive pricing that peer-to-peer sharing brings.
Southern California's mild climate makes Los Angeles a year-round destination for campervan travel. Spring (March to May) is ideal for wildflower displays in the Antelope Valley and comfortable desert temperatures around Joshua Tree. Summer draws crowds to the coast, and events like the Malibu Surfing Association Classic in September keep the energy high into autumn. Winter remains pleasant along the coast, with daytime temperatures often above 18°C. Booking through Yescapa during the quieter months from November to February can offer excellent value, as peer-to-peer pricing tends to be more flexible outside peak season. Plan ahead for summer and holiday weekends to secure your preferred motorhome or campervan.
To help you plan your trip, we have selected six unmissable road trips, suitable for all travellers.
This 250 km loop hugs the Pacific Coast Highway past Zuma Beach and Point Dume before circling back through the Santa Monica Mountains. Allow 3–6 days to explore tide pools, seaside campsites, and the charming town of Malibu. A campervan is perfect for the winding coastal stretches.
Cover 200 km from Los Angeles into the otherworldly landscape of Joshua Tree National Park over 3–5 days. Stop at Pioneertown and explore the Cholla Cactus Garden. Compact campervans handle the park roads well, and desert campgrounds offer peaceful overnight spots.
This 450 km route heads north from Los Angeles through Santa Barbara and into the rolling vineyards of the Santa Ynez Valley and Paso Robles. Over 5–8 days, enjoy coastal walks at Pismo Beach and tastings along Foxen Canyon Road. Motorhomes are welcome at most regional campgrounds.
Spanning 400 km over 5–8 days, this route links Anza-Borrego Desert State Park with the alpine scenery of Mount San Jacinto via the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Both campervans and motorhomes suit the well-maintained roads, and sites at Borrego Springs offer full hook-ups.
Drive 700 km from Los Angeles through Mojave and into Death Valley National Park over 7–11 days. Visit Zabriskie Point, Badwater Basin, and the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes. Fuel stops are spaced far apart, so plan ahead. A well-equipped motorhome adds comfort in this remote terrain.
This epic 900 km journey from Los Angeles to San Francisco takes 10–15 days along the Pacific Coast Highway. Pass through Big Sur, stop at Hearst Castle, and explore Monterey Bay. A campervan lets you pull over at scenic overlooks and coastal campgrounds along the way.

The greater Los Angeles region offers a wide variety of campsites, from beachfront pitches along the Pacific to shaded spots in the foothills. Many coastal campgrounds provide electric hook-ups, showers, and dump stations suitable for both campervans and motorhomes. Inland sites near state parks tend to be quieter and often feature fire rings and picnic areas. Booking ahead is recommended for popular Los Angeles coastal locations, especially during weekends and holidays.
Driving a motorhome or campervan around Los Angeles means navigating a vast freeway network. California's highways are toll-free in the Los Angeles area, though some express lanes on the I-10 and I-110 use FasTrak electronic tolling. Speed limits for larger vehicles typically sit at 55 mph (88 km/h) on most freeways, compared to 65 mph for cars. Vehicles over 2.1 metres wide should stay alert for lane restrictions on older urban freeways. Rest areas along major routes like the I-5 and I-15 provide parking bays suitable for larger rigs, and signage is generally clear and well-maintained throughout the region.
I really wanted to try a classic Hymer camper, and finding this option from Bruno was absolutely amazing! We drove around 700 km along the winding serpentine roads of Switzerland in this motorhome. The heating worked perfectly, keeping us super warm even when it was 5°C outside. Our 1-year-old child completely loved playing on the front dashboard — with all the natural light and panoramic views, it turned into his personal favorite playground. Bruno was incredibly helpful in getting us ready for the trip and even arranged a child car seat for our little one in advance. As for me, I had a blast driving a real, pure mechanical vehicle in such excellent condition.
Margherita was such a lovely and responsible renter. Communication with her was always easy, the camper was well looked after, and everything went smoothly. Would happily rent to her again!
Super experience. Francisco was great to work with. We’t rent from him again anytime!
To była nasza pierwsza podróż kamperem. I bardzo się cieszę że na tę podróż wybraliśmy właśnie auto Łukasza. Auto ma wszystko czego potrzeba do życia w vanie. Mimo swojego wieku jest we wspaniałym stanie technicznym. Ma bardzo wygodne łóżko panele solarne klimatyzację postojową ciepłą wodę i wiele świetnie przemyślanych rozwiązań. Przekazanie auta odbyło się bezproblemowo. Kontakt z Łukaszem i Kamilem był bardzo dobry. Odpowiedzi na nasze pytania przychodziły błyskawicznie. Polecam auto jak i Łukasza. To świetny przewodnik camperingu. Choć plany mieliśmy Wielkie Hiszpania okazała tak wspaniała że nie warto było pokonywać setek kilometrów ponieważ piękne miejsca były na wyciągnięcie ręki. Wrócimy tam nie raz i na pewno skorzystamy z vanu Łukasza. Dzięki Łukasz
Thank you so much for the opportunity to rent the camper! Fabio is a fantastic host—incredibly helpful and responsive! And the camper? Despite its age, the camper served us perfectly. Thank you for a wonderful vacation! 😊
We had such a positive experience with Tuija and the Hymer - and even named one of our self-made perfumes after this lovely van! We used the upper bed and were able to keep warm even in chillier nights thanks to the two large duvets (and we brought a hot water bottle rather than using the heating system). Tuija was super helpful in explaining the van to us and very responsive when we had an issue with the fridge. Thanks again and hasta la proxmima :)
