Camping near Santa Clarita, California
Santa Clarita sits in a valley northwest of Los Angeles, along Interstate 5 between the San Fernando Valley and the Tejon Pass. The location puts RV travelers within a short drive of theme parks, lake recreation, and the Angeles and Los Padres national forests, while keeping urban services like grocery stores, propane, and dump stations close at hand.
Most campgrounds used by RV renters cluster along the I-5 corridor and around nearby reservoirs. Valencia Travel Village RV Resort sits on Highway 126 West, about a mile west of I-5 and roughly two miles from Magic Mountain Parkway, making it the closest full-service option to the city. Castaic Lake RV Park, Walnut RV Park, and Hollywood RV Park add private alternatives within easy reach. For lake-based camping, Castaic Lake State Recreation Area lies about 41 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles off Interstate 5, with 29 miles of shoreline and operations handled by Los Angeles County, while Lake Piru Recreation Area provides a second reservoir option in Ventura County.
Things to do around Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita is best known as the home of Six Flags Magic Mountain, marketed as the Thrill Capital of the World, a 260-acre park with around 20 roller coasters and more than 100 rides and attractions. The adjacent Six Flags Hurricane Harbor is a water park with slides and a wave pool, and the two pair well on hot summer days. East of the city, Vasquez Rocks Natural Area is known for its tilted sandstone formations that have appeared in films and television, including Star Trek. Placerita Canyon offers miles of trails and a nature center. At Castaic Lake, the upper lake is open to power boating, water skiing, and sailing, while the lagoon is reserved for non-gasoline boats; fishing, picnicking, and biking, equestrian, and hiking trails round out the activities. Lake Piru adds a disc golf course, a swim beach, and bass and trout fishing.

Santa Clarita has a Mediterranean-style climate with hot, dry summers and mild, relatively wet winters, and a long dry stretch from late spring into fall. Summer is the busiest window for RV travel: theme parks run full schedules, lake recreation peaks, and reservations at the most popular sites should be locked in early. Daytime highs in July and August commonly reach the low 30s Celsius, so shaded sites and full hookups for air conditioning matter.
Spring and fall are the most comfortable windows for hiking at Vasquez Rocks and Placerita Canyon, with mild days and cool nights. Fall trips should account for fire risk and Santa Ana winds, which typically arrive in Southern California in autumn and can drive red flag warnings and road or park closures. Winter brings the wet season, with the heaviest rain falling between December and March, and occasional storm closures on canyon roads, but lower-elevation parks generally stay open year-round.

How to book campgrounds near Santa Clarita
Reservation systems vary by operator. For the Castaic Lake county campground, sites are reserved through the County of Los Angeles online reservation system and can be booked up to 90 days in advance. Confirm current status before planning: the campground, main launch ramp, and 24-hour parking lot have been temporarily closed for Hughes Fire damage repairs, so check with Los Angeles County Parks before targeting Castaic Lake. Lake Piru is operated by United Water Conservation District and uses its own portal at ExploreLakePiru.com; online reservations must be made at least five days before arrival, and shorter-notice bookings are handled by phone with park staff. Private parks such as Valencia Travel Village RV Resort, Castaic Lake RV Park, Walnut RV Park, and Hollywood RV Park accept bookings directly through their own websites, and summer weekends often sell out weeks ahead.
What to expect on arrival
Private parks along the I-5 corridor are paved, gated, and oriented to longer RVs. Expect full hookups, laundry, and pool access at the larger resorts, with quick freeway access for day trips to Los Angeles or the lakes. At the Castaic Lake county campground there are roughly 60 to 65 campsites; some are designated for RVs or trailers only, others can accommodate RVs, trailers, and tents, and a dump station and amphitheater are on site, though sites do not have individual hookups. At Lake Piru, the Olive Grove campground has 234 single-family sites about half a mile from the lake, with most sites set among large olive trees, a mix of full and electric-only hookups, drinking water, flush toilets, showers, laundry, and an RV dump station. Quagga mussels were detected at Castaic Lagoon in 2024, so boaters should expect inspections.

You’ll feel confident behind the wheel — roads in Santa Clarita and LA County are wide, with good signage and mild grades. Avoid Highway 14 and I-5 during rush hour, as local traffic can back up.

You can take your Santa Clarita RV rental on a road trip through California and to neighboring states like Nevada and Arizona. Confirm your planned route with your host before booking so they can approve the itinerary. Travel into Mexico is not permitted because insurance coverage does not apply across the border.

Major events at Six Flags can increase local traffic, so plan to arrive early. For up-to-date road conditions, check LA County’s traffic advisories before you roll.
