I live in Los Angeles and avoid driving to Santa Monica in a Mini Cooper. ;)
I assume you are driving the class A and toad in your profile? If so, I would avoid Santa Monica and Long Beach. I would stay in an RV park in the West Valley or farther out of town and drive the toad in.
As for RV parks in the inner city, there is one in Malibu just above Santa Monica (very expensive). There is one in the Van Nuys area not far from me where friends with similar rigs have stayed. There is an RV park right on the water by LAX. Just south of Long Beach is the OC area. Lots of lovely state parks on the water that may have last minute cancelations. Problem is they all book up months in advance. Maybe not the one in Van Nuys. So many names. Just google the locations. Good luck and have a blast!
Walk of Fame is in the Hollywood area around the block from the Magic Castle. I am a member of the Magic Castle. That's the only reason I go to that area. It is no Time's Square for sure. As a former New Yorker, the walk of fame area scares me and is underwhelming at best. A better reason to visit the area is getting tix to see an event at the Hollywood Bowl just up the street! :).
