We rented this trailer for a friend's birthday trip to Napa, and it exceeded all of our expectations! Aaron and Melissa were fantastic hosts—they communicated quickly, clearly, and made the entire rental process seamless. The trailer was exceptionally clean and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need for our adventure. It truly felt like staying in a hotel on wheels! Their attention to detail made our trip comfortable and stress-free. We would absolutely rent this trailer again. Thank you for helping make our Napa birthday weekend so memorable!

We had a great experience using David’s RV. It was exactly what we needed and easy to maneuver around during our trip to Yosemite NP. The RV was comfortable and had a good amount of storage. David was easy to communicate with and very friendly.

A truly excellent rental experience. The host was accommodating on pickup time, it was clean, everything worked, and it was fully equipped. Dishes, cookware, bedding, camping chairs, games, movies, and so many miscellaneous items. When we thought of something we needed it always turned out to be in a drawer. Dropping off was smooth and easy. We've camped for years with an A-frame trailer and this was our first time with a camping van. We love our A-frame but now we want one just like Ms. Retro.

We had a great experience renting from Evgeniy. He was quick to respond and very helpful. The RV was in great condition and fit our family of four perfectly. We'd definitely rent from him again!

Marvin was very communicative and set up everything needed for the rental. We were using it for family to sleep as there wasn’t enough beds or floor space for all the family. Those that stayed in it said the water and heat worked perfectly. And, the beds were very comfortable. He had many lengths of hose and extension cords available, so he was able to set it up with my very distant outlet and faucet. I would definitely rent from Marvin again.

rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Kensington%2C%20CaliforniaWhere can I park an RV around Kensington, CA?
Kensington has several excellent nearby options for RV camping. Anthony Chabot Regional Park (about 20 miles southeast) offers RV sites with hookups, hot showers, and forested surroundings. Tilden Regional Park has limited camping and is best for small rigs. For a bayside stay, the Berkeley Marina is just a short drive away. Overnight street parking is not permitted in most Kensington residential areas, so reserving a campground in advance is the best plan.
ebparks.org/parks/anthony-chabotWhen is the best time for RV camping in Kensington, CA?
RV camping in Kensington is enjoyable year-round thanks to the Bay Area’s mild climate. Highs average 70–75°F in summer (June–September) with cool, foggy mornings, while winter highs hover around 55–60°F. Late spring and early fall offer the best mix of sunny days and fewer crowds. Want warm weather and open campsites? Early May and October are hidden gems for your Kensington RV trip.
weather.gov/mtr/Is renting and driving an RV in Kensington beginner-friendly?
Yes, first time renting an RV in Kensington is very doable. Every RVezy host provides a personal walkthrough at pickup and is happy to answer questions before your trip. Local routes like Grizzly Peak Boulevard and the East Bay hills are scenic and manageable, though steep and winding in spots. If you'd rather skip city driving entirely, book an RV with delivery and your host can drop the rig at your campsite, making your first trip easy and stress-free.
