RV Resorts in Southern California

[kampy1]

Last year we spent a month in our 40 ft motorhome in Southern California - at The Dunes RV Resort in Newport Beach, CA. We want to be in that area because our son lives in that area. The Dunes, in our opinion was not acceptable. The lots were so small I couldn't even put out our awning! We would like to be no farther south than San Deigo - don't have to be on a bay/waterfront. Want to have a lot we can live on. Help.

Before giving intelligent information, we really need to know the size of your rig. It's pretty easy to post that info when you ask for info or simply post it on your signature line.

Unitl then, there are spaces along the beach in San Onofre that will accept the largest rig. San Clemente SB does also but 2 point hookups only. Doheny SBP is my preference but I think their largest site is now up to 28'. Having grown up in Newport Beach, I can give you all kinds of help, but we really need the rig size to do so....Dennis

There are not many places in Orange County but you might try Canyon RV. About 20 miles from Newport Beach.

It sets in a park like setting, close to FWY and easy access to where you may want to go. Park is nice, spaces are large and it's usually pretty quiet aside from the freeway noise.

The $300 weekly rate is really cheap for this area.

I would highly recommend the Santee Lakes Campground It's a huge layout with some very large sites for 40' plus coaches. The only problem is if you're looking for month long reservation between now through the winter, they are most likely booked up, but it wouldn't hurt to try.

It is quite a hike from Newport Beach to San Diego, and the traffic on I-5 can be horrendous. Just saying, if it were me I'd try to find something as close to him as possible. Unfortunately, there are not alot of attractive, affordable options.

Kampy1, how big is your RV?

There is a RV park in Orange, CA, called Orangeland that is 18 miles inland from Newport Dunes. The spaces aren't huge but we had room for our awning.

The only other place that we've stayed is the Mission Bay RV Park, in San Diego.

A lot will depend on the size of your RV, there are State parks along the ocean at Carlsbad, CA.

Good luck,
MM.
