RV rental Sonora, CA: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

One of the highlights of Tuolumne County is Stanislaus National Forest and, with an RV rental near Sonora, you’ll be just a stone's throw away. Highway 108 leads from the suburban landscape into the densely packed forests of this natural area. Plus, with nearly 900,000 acres to its name, the Stanislaus National Forest is a hotspot for several recreational activities. It’s home to hundreds of miles of hiking and biking routes, as well as equestrian trails and designated campsites. To get away from the busy visitor’s center, hikers can follow primitive trails through the Emigrants Wilderness Area which borders Yosemite National Park. The area is made up of a fascinating combination of landscapes including glacial lakes, volcanic ridges, and lush meadows. During the summertime, Stanislaus National Forest is a popular spot for water sports due to the abundance of freshwater lakes and two major waterways; the Tuolumne and Stanislaus Rivers. Pinecrest Lake and Cherry Lake are excellent locations for swimming, windsurfing, and boating. Throughout the winter season, Highway 108 provides access to two cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails; Gooseberry and Crabtree Cross-Country Ski Trailheads. Stanislaus National Forest also hosts four designated Sno-Parks for sledding, tubing, snowboarding, and downhill skiing. There’s something for every outdoor lover to enjoy when you take a Sonora travel trailer rental into Stanislaus National Forest. Before returning to Sonora you might want to detour to Red Hills Recreational Management Area in Chinese Camp. Slotted into a green landscape between Highway 102 and Highway 49, the 7,000-acre area hosts approximately 88 species of birds including western kingbirds, great horned owls, and barn swallows. Using the wildlife viewing areas and multi-purpose trails, visitors can observe bobcats and coyotes in their natural environment or identify a variety of plant types. During late spring, the recreational area is alive with wildflowers and throughout the year, Red Hills is a charming location for a family picnic.
