Mini-camper rental in Los Angeles

The mini-camper (VW Caddy California, converted Dacia Jogger…) is the entry ticket to vanlife in Los Angeles: a double bed, a slide-out kitchen box, and that is it — but it is enough for a weekend or a first road trip. Car-sized footprint, car-sized fuel bill, car-sized parking: zero apprehension behind the wheel.

Overnight stops with a mini-camper around Los Angeles

Sleeping in a vehicle on the street is banned in Los Angeles and most coastal cities: plan on campgrounds. Coastal state park sites sell out on ReserveCalifornia months ahead in summer, national park sites on recreation.gov. Around Joshua Tree, BLM land allows free dispersed camping — boondocking — for a maximum of fourteen nights.

Where to go by mini-camper around Los Angeles

Joshua Tree national park and its granite boulder fields are two and a half hours out, with Palm Springs at the halfway mark. The Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead mountains offer cool air roughly two hours away, and Ventura, the gateway harbor for the Channel Islands, like Santa Barbara, is reached by hugging the ocean.
