From El Rio you can reach Channel Islands Harbor for boat departures to Channel Islands National Park, McGrath State Beach for shoreline walks, and the scenic Ojai Valley drive for tree-lined vistas — all reachable by paved roads. U.S. Route 101 serves as a major, RV-friendly corridor for coastal travel, offering wide lanes, ample services and convenient pullouts for larger vehicles. Larger campervans can navigate the main routes comfortably while still finding parking near trailheads, harbors and beaches. If you plan a boat trip to the islands, allow extra time for ferry schedules and parking logistics.
