RV rental Salt Point State Park, CA: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Once you book an RV in Sonoma County, you'll find plenty to do both above and below the water at Salt Point State Park. There are over 20 miles of hiking and horse trails at Salt Point, and one of the most popular is the Salt Point Trail. This scenic trail walks the bluffs of the preserve for just over a mile and is the perfect place to watch for gray whales during their winter and summer migrations. A portion of this trail is accessible to wheelchairs as well. The more difficult North Trail will take you on a 1,000-foot climb to the highest point in the park, where you can see the pygmy forest of cypress and redwoods, stunted by harsh soil conditions. Different trails allow you to make loops of various lengths and difficulty from one mile to five miles. Bicycles are only allowed on paved roads. Fishing is allowed at Salt Point, though it’s very restricted. Gerstle Cove State Marine Reserve makes up the south end of the park and Stewart's Point State Marine Reserve is at the north end. Fishing is prohibited in both of these reserves, but you can cast your line from the coast in between these areas. Fishing is only allowed for finfish and with a valid license. Although shellfish are off limits, Salt Point is also a very popular location for abalone hunting. This activity, however, is highly regulated and requires reporting by collectors. The ocean provides ample exploration opportunity also. Diving through the kelp forests is an otherworldly experience, either skin diving or with scuba gear. If diving isn’t your thing, Salt Point offers you plenty of tide pools as well. Take the kids and search for starfish, urchins, anemones, and watch the birds feast at low tide. Be careful around the ocean though, as there are dangerous rip currents and rogue waves at Salt Point.
