From El Rio you can drive to Channel Islands National Park departures and plan island day trips that combine boating, wildlife viewing and shoreline hikes. Mandalay Beach offers easy shoreline walks and birdwatching that are accessible with a drivable RV for short outings. Camarillo Premium Outlets provides a practical stop for extended parking, supplies and leg-stretching between driving days. For longer coastal or north–south travel, U.S. Route 101 is the major highway favored by RVers for smoother grades and easy access to services suited to larger rigs.
