The best camper van rentals near San Diego, CA

Your camper van trip to San Diego would be incomplete without a visit to the world-renowned San Diego Zoo. Nestled in Balboa Park, the zoo is home to over 3,700 animals of more than 650 species. Plan an entire day here to explore fascinating exhibits like the Elephant Odyssey, Monkey Trails, and Polar Bear Plunge. Don’t miss the guided bus tour and the Skyfari Aerial Tram for an overview of the zoo.

Just a short drive from the zoo is the historic Gaslamp Quarter, a vibrant downtown neighborhood known for its rich Victorian architecture, buzzing nightlife, and diverse dining options. Explore the area on foot, soak in the atmosphere, and enjoy a meal at one of the trendy restaurants.

The natural beauty of San Diego is best experienced at the Torrey Pines State Natural Resecamper vane. Lying just north of the city, this wilderness island offers stunning vistas of the coastline, a chance to spot rare Torrey Pine trees, and hiking trails that range from easy to challenging. For beach lovers, a visit to La Jolla Cove and Coronado Beach is a must. Watch the seals and sea lions at La Jolla Cove or indulge in a laidback day of sun, sand, and surf at Coronado Beach.

Last but not least, discover San Diego's rich maritime history at the Maritime Museum, where you can tour historic ships and submarines. Alternatively, take a harbor tour to see the active Naval fleet and enjoy panoramic views of the city skyline.

San Diego has something for everyone. From its beautiful beaches to its rich cultural experiences, there is no shortage of things to see and do. So, pack your camper van and get ready for an unforgettable trip to this Californian jewel!
