RV rental delivery to the park
Hello! We are planning a trip late September and are looking for a company that will deliver RV’s to camp sites, and then pick them up once rental period is finished. Can anyone recommend a company that provides this service?
Good question. I found a few RV-rental options near Redwood National Park that may offer delivery, though “drop-off to a campsite inside the park” is *not always guaranteed* and depends heavily on the rental owner. Here’s a breakdown of what I found, plus some caveats and things to watch out for.
RV Rental Companies That Offer Delivery Near Redwood / Humboldt Coast
- RVShare — There are RVShare listings near Redwood NP (just search for “Redwood National Park, CA” in their delivery-enabled options). Many of these rentals offer delivery to local campgrounds — check with individual owners.
- Outdoorsy — They also have camper/RV rentals in the Redwood area, including delivery-enabled ones. When you message the vehicle owner, you can specifically ask whether they will deliver to your campground, how setup works, and where they can pick up afterward.
- Go RV Rentals — GoRVRentals has RVs listed in Crescent City, McKinleyville, and nearby — check specific listings for “delivery” or “drop-off” options.
- Humboldt RV Rentals — Local company that may be more flexible; they’re partnered with Outdoorsy. Contact them directly to ask about delivery to Redwoods-area campgrounds.
Things to Be Careful About / Ask Ahead:
- Campground Access & Size Restrictions: Some Redwoods campgrounds (state or park-run) have maximum RV lengths or road access limits. For example, Redwood National & State Parks’ campground info notes size limits.
- Delivery Fees: Delivery from these rental platforms is usually offered, but there will be an extra charge based on distance and setup time. Get a written quote in your rental agreement.
- Permits & Park Rules: While Redwood NP and state parks may not explicitly forbid rental deliveries, some parks do have restrictions. According to renter-owner experiences on Reddit, you may need to clarify with the rental company that they can legally deliver to a state/park campground.
- Setup Time: Ask how long it will take them to deliver and set up the RV — many owners require 30–60 minutes to park and prep the rig.
- Pickup Logistics: Similarly, confirm where they will pick it up after your stay. If you’re staying late in a remote campsite, make sure the owner is okay coming for pickup at that location/time.
- Insurance: Confirm what your insurance covers for a delivered rental, especially in more remote or forested campgrounds.
Bottom Line / Recommendation:
Yes — there are RV rental companies that *can deliver* RVs to campsites around Redwood National Park, but you’ll need to:
- Use platforms like Outdoorsy or RVShare and filter for “delivery” — message the individual owner to make sure they’ll deliver to your exact campground.
- Confirm site size, access, and whether the campground allows delivered camper-trailers.
- Get clear on delivery & pickup costs and logistics in writing.
