Best National Parks Near San Diego, CA

Channel Islands National Park sits off the coast of Southern California. The main way visitors get to the Channel Islands is by boat from mainland harbors in Ventura or Oxnard. Island Packers offers boat trips to the islands throughout the year, but you can also take a private boat to the park. The largest island is Santa Cruz, which offers hiking trails on its eastern side and opportunities for swimming, kayaking and snorkeling in the Scorpion Beach area. Santa Cruz is also great for birding. Here, you can spot the island scrub jay, the only place in the world to see this species. Visit in the spring for amazing wildflower blooms. On Anacapa Island, take a guided hike, or spend the night at a primitive campsite. There's also snorkeling, kayaking and diving available on Anacapa.

Joshua Tree National Park, 165 miles northeast of San Diego, resembles an alien landscape with its concentration of Joshua trees, which are yucca plants that consist of branches, or "arms," that twist and point their way skyward. See these Joshua trees and other desert plants, like ocotillo, creosote bushes, cholla cacti and prickly pear cacti, on various trails within the park. Hiking trails include Barker Dam, Hidden Valley, Cholla Cactus Garden and Lost Horse Mine. Joshua Tree is also a well-known and popular rock climbing destination with over 8,000 climbing routes. If you're new to rock climbing, sign up for a class with an area outfitter who can guide you and teach you the basics. The park's main paved roads, like Park Boulevard and Pinto Basin Road, are great for biking. Joshua Tree also has several campsites, such as Jumbo Rocks, Black Rock, Indian Cove and Ryan, with each offering different amenities.

Death Valley National Park, 285 miles north of San Diego, provides a stark but beautiful landscape of contrasts. The lowest point on the continent, Badwater Basin, at 282 feet below sea level, is here, but so is Telescope Peak, the park's highest point at 11,043 feet. You'll bake under the extreme temperatures in the summer, but winters can get cold, especially at the higher elevations where snow often falls. Death Valley is the largest national park in the lower 48 states, with vast distances between sites, so exploring the park with your RV rental is a terrific way to see it. Besides Badwater Basin, some other park highlights include Ubehebe Crater, Zabriskie Point, the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes and Artists Palette. Furnace Creek Campground has 18 RV sites with full hookups.
