<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nWhere to Park Your Camper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Unlike smaller cities and towns, LA doesn\u2019t hold enough space for designated campervan parking. It\u2019s very rare to find a layby you\u2019re allowed to park in overnight, and most parking garages will have height restrictions that make them impossible to use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead, your best bet is to find a base point around the outskirts of LA and plan daytrips from there. Some of the best include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Dockweiler RV Park: <\/strong>This is the only beachfront RV park in LA, so as you can imagine, spaces fill up quickly! Located just south of Santa Monica, this is a wonderful stop for plenty of R&R on sandy beaches. It\u2019s only a short drive away from Venice or Hollywood, too.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Malibu Beach RV Park: <\/strong>This parking spot might not be on a beach, but it still offers amazing views from its position on the hillside. There are worse views to wake up to than the endless ocean, that\u2019s for sure! This RV park may be on the pricier side, but it offers the true Californian coastal experience that can\u2019t be replicated anywhere else in the world.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Hollywood RV Park: <\/strong>Immerse yourself in Hollywood\u2019s culture with this RV Park, found in the San Fernando Valley. It\u2019s quirky, artsy, and full of decorated murals – properly encapsulating the feel and vibe of Hollywood. It\u2019s more of a local scene, but well worth the stay if you\u2019re hoping to explore the surrounding areas.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
A Fresh Way to Experience LA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There are plenty of new ways to enjoy LA rather than the classic tourist spots. For starters, you can never go wrong with a good beach – and the city has plenty of them! Venice Beach is a gorgeously eccentric place with street performers, a skate park and a fun boardwalk. For a calmer beach day, check out Zuma Beach or El Matador in Malibu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For outdoor escapes, Griffith Park offers miles of hiking trails and sweeping views<\/a><\/strong> of the Hollywood sign. Just outside of the city, the Santa Monica Mountains offer a wilder, more off-road adventure for people who are craving the rugged camper experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LA\u2019s culture extends to more than just Hollywood Boulevard. Wander along Little Tokyo, Olvera Street, or Koreatown to learn little details about the city and immerse yourself in its rich depth. The Getty Centre and Getty Villa are calmer experiences for when you\u2019re craving a little peace and quiet away from the bustle of Los Angeles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Getting Food on the Road<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
LA is a dream city for food lovers, and campervanners get the best of both worlds: the ability to cook their own meals and the chance to indulge in the city\u2019s famous food scene! You won\u2019t have to go far to find some amazing food, so don\u2019t worry – you\u2019ll be spoilt for choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of our favourite options include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Taco trucks: <\/strong>You\u2019ll find some of the best street food in the country parked on random corners.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Farmers\u2019 markets: <\/strong>Stock up your campervan kitchen at the Hollywood Farmers\u2019 Market or Santa Monica Farmers Market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Diverse cuisines: <\/strong>From authentic Korean BBQ to vegan cafes, LA reflects the classic tastes of the world.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
