The best vintage trailer rentals near Huntington Beach, California

A short drive south of Los Angeles in Orange County, Huntington Beach has long been a favorite among surfers—owing largely to its year-round swells—earning it the nickname “Surf City.” While the 9.5-mile-long beach here is the city's biggest draw, there are also plenty of things to do inland, from visiting the International Surfing Museum to shopping for beachwear and souvenirs in local shops. While you can't camp at the beach here, you'll find plenty of campgrounds in Crystal Cove State Park, less than a half-hour drive south of town.

1. Vintage Camper In LBC Garden

14mi from Huntington Beach · 1 site · Lodging · Long Beach, CA

This 1968 Shasta Camper, located in a small garden within an urban neighborhood, sleeps up to four people, with additional space to set up tents if desired. It has a few amenities—some more rustic than others—including AC, refrigerator and freezer, stovetop (oven does not work), sinks, shower, internet, and coffee maker. Located just ten minutes from the Port of Long Beach and the Port of San Pedro, it’s a great launch point for cruise-goers. With swimming beaches only twenty minutes away, it’s an ideal option for a low-cost vacation. Help yourself to the freshest fruits, vegetables, and legumes from the garden, and watch the bees, butterflies, and grasshoppers happily pollinate, creating opportunities for new growth. The property is securely locked, and the entrance is video-monitored for your safety (and ours). It’s important to note that the camper (not a glamper) is vintage, and the convenience of the urban neighborhood can sometimes come with a variety of neighborhood sounds—though it can also be extremely quiet at times. Due to the desert climate, ants may accompany the pollinators and enter the camper if food or beverages are left out. The garden is shared with our home, so some privacy may be compromised when we tend to it.

33mi from Huntington Beach · 1 site · Lodging · Los Angeles, CA

The White Lodge is a private home owned by the creator of Hicksville Trailer Palace and Hicksville Pines Bud and Breakfast. Although Morgan(the owner) has retired, he's made his property to feel as if you're in the middle of the woods complete with swimming hole, fire pit, outdoor kitchen, sauna and more! Our trailer and cave shower entrance are on the smaller size and may not be comfortable for larger bodied individuals. We are closed June-August because the trailer has no A/C and we're too busy with our Swimply pool business. You can book it only as an add-on for pool guests during that time.

Weekend Trip to The White Lodge

We loved our stay in the Tinned Ham Camper! The property itself was amazing with kitschy and fun decor, beautiful views, friendly hosts, and adorable cats. My favorite part of our stay was the hot tub just a couple steps from our door. We also loved that even though we’re in the middle of Eagle Rock it felt like we traveled to somewhere secluded and romantic. I can’t wait to return here!

Wonderful services and even better property. Everything from the bathroom decor and the interior of the teardrop trailer, to the small details around the yard that made the experience live up to its name. The hosts hospitality and responsiveness to our delays in arrival was very earnest and friendly, and their service was overall wonderful. Very cozy, very pampering, amazing hot tub. We didn’t get to use the beautiful pool with waterslide and grotto. And I haven’t even mentioned the great view, the awesome cave shower and the many kitties roaming around. A perfect getaway. Recommend 100%

This spot is absolutely amazing. It's super hidden but only two minutes from the city and anything you may need, that said it feels like a world away. The property, pool and everything else were great. There is so much cool hidden art to discover and the retro decor is awesome. Morgan and Brooke were super nice and helpful giving us a tour and we had everything we needed for the night. The camper was super comfy with warm bedding and it is literally one step to your private hot tub. Some reviews mentioned tight spaces, and it is a small camper but I'm 6'2 and big guy and me and girlfriend fit totally fine and the bed was more than big enough. I can't say enough good things about this spot! I would just make you you bring what you need. We had takeout delivered and brought our own drinkware. A small mini fridge was provided which was perfect for us, but they have a giant outdoor kitchen you can add on if you need more than that! Can't wait to come back to stay, and to rent the pool in the summer! Awesome cute cats too!

Comfy bed with mounted tv. Very cozy space for streaming Night Flight!

As soon as you step foot on the property you feel like you’ve left the hustle and bustle of LA, the outdoor space has a 60’s Yosemite National Park vibe. The decor is adorable with lots of fun things to discover. Everything is perfectly laid out, great landscaping with ambient lighting at night, paths to multiple sitting locations and a cute little smoking area. The bathroom is a short walk from trailer. Plenty of nice clean towels! The pool is beautiful with a cool little grotto sitting area, water slide with water fall. Cave shower that was a fun experience. Morgan and Brooke created something special with this place. They were both kind and helpful with questions. Morgan is a fascinating guy and he even invited us to his dj gig which we loved. They have an amazing catio for their sweet cats. The camper is adorable! The mattress was very comfortable, we slept well! Loved watching the funny horror movies streaming on Night Flight! There’s cozy extra blankets, gorgeous wood interior, adorable dining area. Lots of storage space for our carry ons and supplies. Many windows, a fan for air flow, kept things cool. Outside the camper Morgan set up a refrigerated cooler. The hot tub is perfect for two people with a lovely view. It was so relaxing and had a secluded feel to the space. Loved it! There’s a trashcan next to the camper, ample recycling & trash cans throughout the property. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, parked car close to the property with street parking.

Such a magical spot! The sweetest little trailer and hot tub. It’s super cozy and well equipped with electricity and TV. The place is a real wonderland. Note that trailer is very tiny, so not easy to navigate for bigger folks. Bathroom is an easy walk, awesome and provides towels. This is an amazing staycation—you really feel like you escaped LA.

Canned Ham and the White Lodge Pool are so fun, not at all what you would expect in the big city! Cozy trailer, hot sauna, cool pool, shower cave & hot tub are just the amenities I had time to take advantage of in my short overnight stay.

This was a the most pleasant little spot for me and my partner to stop over at for the night! The property has a really cool little 60’s Disneyland take on Yosemite theme, the vintage trailer bed was cozy and comfortable and the hot tub view is incredible. What a dream! Thanks, Morgan and Brooke!

I got to be the first guest at this incredible location. Morgan has done an amazing job transforming his yard into an oasis that will make you forget you are in LA. From the gorgeous pool with water slide, to a waterfall, koi pond, hot tub and sauna. And yes, even the antique camper is so fun to stay in. But only after you wander around for a while here, do you actually start to see the attention to detail everywhere you look. I could tell that this was more than a way to make some money for Morgan, this had to be a dream come to life for him. As a host, Morgan was very accommodating and friendly. I highly recommend this location to anyone wanting a fun enjoyable stay in LA

Where to go

Coastal Southern California

While you're in the area, spend a little time exploring other stretches of the oftentimes sunny Southern California coastline. While you can't camp at Huntington Beach, there are plenty of beaches where you can within a short drive away, including San Elijo State Beach and South Carlsbad State Beach, both of which take just over an hour to reach by car.

California's Central Coast

North of Los Angeles County is the beginning of California's Central Coast region, a quieter (and not always as warm) alternative to busy Southern California. Here you’ll find a mix of quiet coves and sandy beaches, plus miles of forest-flanked coastline. Beachfront camping is available at El Capitán State Beach, just outside of Santa Barbara.

The Mojave Desert

Head inland and you'll eventually find yourself in the Mojave Desert. This dry expanse is home to some of Southern California’s prettiest natural features along with two national parks: Death Valley and Joshua Tree.

When to go

Huntington Beach is great throughout the year. The warmest time to visit is, naturally, in the summer months, but this time of year also gets lots of crowds, and area campgrounds and hotels fill up fast. September is a good time to visit if you want swimming-weather without the masses. While you can surf year-round, you'll find the best waves in the wintertime, when powerful western and northwestern swells are the norm.
