Will be in San Diego area for a month starting mid January...looking for suggestions.San Diego KOA or Chula Vista RV Resort sound nice?? Any thoughts?

I've heard very good things about the Chula Vista RV Resort, and I'm not familiar with the San Diego KOA. There's also Campland on the Bay, in the Mission Bay area, which would place you in a very convenient location from which to take in the sites and events San Diego has to offer.

CV is very nice but I suggest people stay away from the so-called premium sites that are on the perimeter next to the park. They can get very noisy with people in the park partying.

Have stayed several times at Chula Vista. It is on the water. Pricey but worth it.

My first choice would be Santee Lakes! The others are ok but Santee is great.

I have stayed at both and they are both very nice. But we Like Chula Vista RV Resort as it is near the bay. The Chula Vista KOA is further inland.

We stayed at th Chula Vista seveal years ago and it was a clean park. The older section was not a good fit for RVs with slides on both sides.

Been to Chula Vista RV many times. Very nice park. All paved roads, level spots. The park is very nice but since its far south on the bay there is no real beach here. The park is geared more to the adult crowd although theres always some kids. KOA is also nice but is more of a campground than an RV resort. It is geared more for families.

Chula Vista is a very nice place, but yes, avoid the sites that are closest to the ocean - There is a parking lot and park between you and the ocean. We were there once, and on weekends there were six ice cream trucks circling the parking lot - all playing different music. One was playing Christmas music and it was July!

Been to both. Prefer Chula Vista. Also like the community. Strong latino culture mixed with some italian and a few others. Very fun area.

Depends on what you like. We have stayed at both. We prefer the KOA as we have kids and the KOA is kid friendly. Chula Vista was a very nice resort, but for the adult crowd. Too many restrictions for the kids.We ended up going to the park often at Chula Vista so the kids could let out some energy.
