Need Campground close to La Jolla, CA

Thank you everyone. All great ideas and I'll start calling around.

If you can get in to South Carlsbad State Beach...that would be the best alternative. It's usually booked solid 7 months in advance...but you may get lucky and they may have a cancellation.

There is a big campground--Campland on the Bay--Mission Beach area. It is expensive but has every convenience including a restaurant, swimming beach, etc. Good Luck, Lars

Check with the hospital some allow you to park while under their care. Some even have hook ups.

Your best bet for close-by is Santa Fe RV Park & Resort . It's right along I-5 just below route 52. You would have fairly easy access to Genessee Avenue and the La Jolla hospital areas. This campground may have some freeway traffic noise though if that is an issue to you. The tradeoff is a somewhat less expensive park.

But if you would be doing early morning and late afternoon rush hour travel this would be your best bet.

If that's not an issue they you could consider some other campgrounds. Santee Lakes about 15 miles east is a real nice park-like setting but through rush hour traffic.

And there are campgrounds down on Mission Bay about 7 or so miles to the south. Mission Bay RV Resort is one.

And also along I-8 in Mission Valley, too. About 10 miles or so. There are several campgrounds up through the Valley.
