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 of the most sprawling urban landscapes in the world. From the iconic Hollywood Sign perched on Mount Lee to the world-class collections at the Getty Center, Los Angeles rewards those who explore it at their own pace. Stroll along the Santa Monica Pier, wander through the galleries of The Broad museum downtown, or spend an afternoon among the restored aircraft at the Californian Science Center, home to the Space Shuttle Endeavour. Griffith Observatory offers free admission and panoramic views across the basin to the Pacific, while the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) houses more than 147,000 works spanning antiquity to the present day. Beyond the city limits, adventure is never far away — Palm Springs sits roughly 180 km east through the San Gorgon Pass, and the surf town of Ventura is just 100 km north-west along the Pacific Coast Highway. Wide, well-maintained freeways make Los Angeles easy to navigate in a motorhome, and many neighbourhoods offer generous parking for larger vehicles. With Yescapa, you hire your campervan directly from local owners, which means flexible pick-up points across the city and honest advice on the best routes. Whether you are chasing sunsets at El Matador Beach or ticking off taco trucks in East LA, a campervan gives you the freedom to experience this vast city on your own terms.
Best time to visit
Los Angeles enjoys a mild, Mediterranean climate year-round, so every season has something to offer. Spring brings the LA Times Festival of Books each April on the USC campus, while autumn is ideal for quieter campsite availability and comfortable driving temperatures. Summer is the most popular season for campervan travel, so booking your hire early through Yescapa helps you secure the best choice from local owners. The Rose Parade in Pasadena each January is a spectacular reason to visit Los Angeles in winter. Whenever you choose to go, the city's coastal breezes and reliable sunshine make motorhome touring a pleasure.

The Los Angeles area offers a fine mix of beachfront, coastal-bluff, and inland campsites suited to both campervans and motorhomes. Many sites along the Pacific coast provide electric hook-ups, dump stations, hot showers, and direct beach access. If you prefer a quieter setting, state park campgrounds in the surrounding hills deliver scenic pitches with fire rings and picnic tables.

Where to park your motorhome
Parking a larger vehicle in Los Angeles requires a little planning. Overnight parking on most residential streets is restricted between 02:00 and 06:00, and many areas enforce height limits. Look for dedicated RV-friendly car parks or Park & Ride lots on the outskirts, which often have generous clearance and flat surfaces. Always check posted signs for time limits and permit requirements before leaving your vehicle.
- Hollywood Bowl Park & Ride, 12km north — Large lot north of Hollywood with good clearance for motorhomes. Convenient for visiting the Hollywood Bowl and nearby attractions.
- Santa Monica Pier Parking, 25km west — Multi-level and surface lots near the pier. Check height restrictions on covered levels; open-air sections suit taller campervans.

What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in Los Angeles

5 / 5
We hired Trina for 5 nights earlier this July. My girlfriend and I had a fantastic time on the island. Jandro was incredibly helpful, always on hand before and during the trip to answer any questions which really helped us navigate the island and enjoy our trip. The vehicle was fantastic, an incredible experience to drive. All the amenities were brilliant as well. I would highly recommend using Jandro and one of his vans for a fantastic Mallorca experience!

5 / 5
Communication with the owner was great, van was immaculate, heaps of choice, love the peer to peer concept. Easy to add an extra driver and ID checks were very thorough but straightforward. Changing dates wasn't so easy, the owner was great, but the process at the back end took some manual effort. Teething problems, not a big deal. Main area that needs improving (for me anyway) is the deposit. There was a single line in a table stating Deposit: cash or transfer, that I hadn't seen. The owner asked for the cash or a transfer when we were at the car, which he explained was normal process, but Yescapa could have explained beforehand. I transferred €2000 directly to the owner, which didn't feel comfortable. I had expected this would all be done via Yescapa. I ended up losing €45 in exchange rate variations + fees as well, the owner's bank had challenges which meant it to 5 days to get a lot of cash back. It was lucky we had that amount at hand. I would use Yescapa again. I hope they can tidy up and improve the processes though.

Incredible time spent across the south of France with an incredible van! From beach, lakes, mountains and fields, it got me places I didn’t even pre conceive. Can’t speak more highly of my over all experience from van collection at train station to drop off. Drives smoother than my Suzuki jimny and can confirm very 6ft 4 friendly.

5 / 5
We had an amazing experience hiring Eli's campervan! It was perfect for our family of four – myself, my partner, and our two young daughters. The van was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our trip. It was easy to drive, well-equipped, and made exploring the malaga so much more enjoyable. The owners were friendly, helpful, and made the whole rental process smooth from start to finish. We made some unforgettable family memories and wouldn't hesitate to rent this campervan again. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, and hassle-free adventure in Spain. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
