Teardrop Trailers in California

The Golden State Awaits

California is simply one of the greatest teardrop trailer destinations on the planet. From the fog-kissed beaches of Pacifica and Morro Bay to the snow dusted peaks above Kernville, from the towering redwoods of the north to the sun baked desert of the south — no state offers more diverse and spectacular camping experiences than California.

We know this firsthand. Having camped from one end of California to the other — beach camping on the coast, mountain camping on both sides of the Sierra Nevada, early morning fog rolls in Pacifica, all day snow flurries in the mountains north of Bakersfield — we can tell you with confidence that teardrop campers are welcomed and celebrated wherever you go in the Golden State. — Ron & Kelly

With over 600 campgrounds statewide, countless National Parks, and year round camping weather in many regions, California is a teardrop paradise. And with more manufacturers based here than almost any other state, you won’t have to look far to find your perfect trailer.
