I live in southern OC. O'Neill regional park is nice if you don't need hookups. There are frequently located threaded water spigots and a dump station. There is some shade and big campsites with good separation. With senior discount-as I recall about $15. Best in cooler seasons temps can get in 90s during summer days, but it generally cools into 60s at night ( I live very close by). Mid week sites easy to get. Mid Oct thru May often beautiful weather.
Also, mid week in cooler months, beach sites at the state parks are pretty easy to get-I drop in without reservation. Doheney has some dry sites in the $35. range-some may accommodate your rig. San Clemente has both full hookup and dry sites. I take the cheaper dry sites, but not sure if you would fit in them. You can check out sizes on Reserve America.
OC Fairgrounds rents out sites at times.
Anyway, basic tip is mid fall through mid spring weekdays and take non hookup sites in state park or county park. The weather is usually perfectly conducive for this.
