Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

I rented 1/2 of my driveway for $50 a month for someone to park an old beat up camper. Payments are due monthly on the 15th. They came early for a couple months, then on time for a couple, then the owner started having her mother send them to me for 3 months and they were getting later, now it is 2 weeks late and no payment. I want them to pick up the camper but apparently they are living out of state. i can text but not call. What is the legal process to notify them to move the camper? The document we both signed said either party can cancel the agreement at any time but will give 30 days notice. However since they havent paid, I think I need to send a 3 day notice to pay rent or quit. Then where do I go from there? Plus I will need to send to the mother's address since I dont have a current address on them. Any help or advice is appreciated.

You are confusing a storage bailment with a residential rental. You need to follow the terms of your contract. Give them the 30-day notice at their last known address, at their mother's address, and by txt with as independent or neutral a witness as you have available. If they don't pay or arrange to remove the camper, you can then have it removed.
