    Anaheim RV Park - PERMANENTLY CLOSED

    Disney Camping - Clean, Pool, Very Nice Restrooms/Showers

    Anaheim RV Resort is close to Disney and is on the Anaheim Resort Transportation (ART) bus route. They have full hook up sites and room for large rigs - back-in and pull through. They are very pet friendly and even have a dog walking/feeding service (for an extra fee). There is a small pool and hot tub. The restrooms/showers and newly remodeled and very nice! Sites are all level and fairly large. We've stayed here 4 times and will be back again!

    Bolsa Chica State Beach Campground

    Bolsa Chica State Beach

    The 4 stars is primarily for location. This is essentially a parking lot with power and water. We had a beach front space (B035) with a decent sized palm tree. The only one I really saw. The spaces aren’t huge so if you have a big rig or large trailer it will be tight. Most trailers parked their tow vehicle perpendicular to the space and some barely fit. There is no privacy, the small concrete area is shared with your neighbors as is the entrance to the beach side. People watching at the boardwalk is amazing. There is live music at the beach bars nearby which was cool. Definitely bring bike. There isn’t a lot within walking distance but downtown Huntington Beach and the pier is just a couple miles away.

    Waterfront RV Park

    Great place by the beach

    Your not on the beach but literally on the other side of pacific coast highway you are there. They have smaller options for travel trailers with power hook ups only and pull through and back in sites available with full hook ups. They have a great pool, maintained laundry rooms bathrooms and showers separated by men and woman for that privacy you need. Overall an incredible rv park and very impressed by it being well kept and clean. Not to mention close to the beach

    Ronald W. Caspers Wilderness Park

    One of the Best County Parks you will find

    This is a great park in Southern Orange County. I have tent camped here for years with my kids in the Live Oak campground and never had a bad experience. There are hiking trails everywhere with lots of wildlife to watch. I switched to a travel trailer several years ago and now use Ortega Flats campground. The sites are big and well spaced, with 30 amp electric. The water is off for the time being. The dump station is very close by and easy to access.

    Orangeland RV Park

    Location!

    Stay here every year for dance competitions in Anaheim and Garden Grove. Very reasonable prices for the area. Anaheim transit makes on-demand stops her to Disneyland as well as Garden Walk. Very helpful, friendly staff. Many residents mixed with overnight era or vacationers. 

    Pros:

    • The price for the area is worth it!
    • Amazing staff. 
    • Free citrus picking!
    • Pool, mini golf on site. 
    • Incredibly creak restrooms and showers. 
    • Camp store. 
    • On-demand public transport for $6/person for all-day access. 
    • Walking distance to Big Ed and Honda Center. 
    • Along Santa Ana River Trail path that connects beach to San Bernardino Mts. 
    • Security at night. 
    • Dog runs (kinda stinky, though)
    • Back-in and pull-thru sites (I’d try to stay closer to Struck and the western side)
    • Rules are there to keep things nice and safe. 
    • Good wifi

    Cons:

    • Stinky dog runs
    • Street racing nearby at night. Every time.

    San Onofre Recreation Beach and Camping

    Right by the Big Blue

    The campsites are small but it is clean and family friendly also located right next to the beach. The beach is rocky in some parts and soft sand in others, if you are a surfer you must go catch a wave here. You must have a military ID to camp here, you can have alcohol on the beach but no glass. They have a play set for kids right next to the campsites. Dogs are allowed but must be on a leash, Full hook ups are available for RV’s but you need a surge protector and a water filter is advised if you want to drink the water. Each campsite has a picnic table and fire pit. Fun, Safe, Clean we love staying here for a easy quick trip when we want to get out but not due to much planning or packing.

    O'Neill Regional Park

    Great Tucked Away Spot in Orange County

    SITE: 

    This site is great if you like hiking, biking, MTB, and running. It is very clean, and the showers are free and clean as well. It's tucked back in the canyon, but you will still hear all the traffic from the road. Since it is a canyon, many loud cars and motorcycles zoom past at high speeds. 

    Free dump station.  

    SURROUNDING AREA

    There aren't too many shops in close proximity, but there are shops down the road a few minutes away if you need supplies. 

    ACTIVITIES 

    The campground is located next to Oneil Park, which is huge and great for bike and running. There are many hiking trails nearby in all directions. I usually ride to Caspers from the campsite or Trabruco creak up to Holy Jim.

    Anaheim Harbor RV Park

    Do not trust them!

    Camping for over 25 years- 140 nights a year and we have never experienced a campground as unprofessional, clueless and arrogant as this one. Their campsite math is completely unacceptable and when asked for ax explination we were treated like we should be happy they were allowing us to stay and it felt like they thought we could not afford to stay there. PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND UNDERSTAND THE BILL!!! Their site measurements are for your camping unit ONLY. If you have a tow vehicle or are towing a vehicle you must pay per night for a parking spot, whether it fits on the site or not. So, a 40X14ft standard site can accommodate a travel trailer of 20 feet or less BUT a motorhome of 40 ft or less. If your travel trailer is 21ft you MUST pay for a parking spot even if your total length is less than 40 ft. They neglected to tell us this information when we booked our site quoted$500 the weekly rate and we paid the deposit. We called to ask a question and they mentioned our total$740.61. We asked how we added$240 when the website stated$500. The woman could not explain the breakdown and could only tell us that we must pay for our truck to park and the website are not actual prices!! When we asked how we would have known this and she laughed and said you probably wouldn’t, you would have had to pay at arrival. WHAT, WHO HAS EVER HEARD OF THAT! With one story after another and no answers we called and told them we would be staying elsewhere because we needed to know the total! They canceled our site but kept our deposit despite their inability to understand and explain how they charge for a site. IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW– BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT TELL YOU! They just want to fill their campground! 1. If you are in anything other than a motorhome you will need to pay for your vehicle to park! 2. The 40ft RV length restriction includes the length of the hitch 3. Despite their sites being able to accommodate a 40ft rig their campground is extremely tight and sites may be very difficult to back in if longer than 35ft. 4. If you have a larger RV or slide-outs it is recommended you book Deluxe space or Deluxe space+ parking. 5. Standard sites may be too narrow to extend awning 6. There is no guarantee your vehicle will be parked next to or near your RV you are only paying for a spot. 7. Despite Disneyland being a family destination, their campsites are for 2 people only. You must pay for each additional person over 10 years old. 8. You must pay for your family pet. 9. You will need to pay for the pool key but should get it back. 10. Any standard site is a parking lot no grass. 11. Any time it says grass it is synthetic grass- AstroTurf 12. The very small strip of grass on a site has a fee attached. 13. Must be manufactured by a recognized maker or you must provide photos and copy of valid DMV Registration 14. You must have a 25ft sewage hose. 15. Tax is not included 7.75% CA Tax AND transient occupancy tax of 15%

    O'Neill Regional Park

    Great for Camping with Kids

    If you're looking for primitive dispersed camping, this is probably not your spot.

    If you're camping with kids, it doesn't get much better than this!  We stayed at campsite #58 which we felt was very large are private. Will definitely come back.

    For our purposes:

    • Dog Friendly: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
    • Kid Friendly: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    • Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Pros:

    • Clean facilities, flushing toilets and hot showers, well maintained sites.
    • Very affordable
    • Friendly staff and atmosphere
    • Recently paved streets (perfect for scootering, skating, biking)
    • Great playground for children
    • Easy and fun "Story Trail" hike for children.   The hike features a new book every month, each page is mounted to a placard along the trail.
    • Nice creek for kids to explore
    • Close to town if you need a quick drink, lunch, or shopping.

    Cons:

    • Traffic noise from nearby roads (not terrible, but reminds you that you're not fully engulfed in nature.
    • No alcohol (not an issue for us, but may be an issue for some).
    • No hammocks or anything hanging from trees.
    • Dogs 100% must be on leash at all times.  If you're a dog owner, they do patrol the park frequently and your dog must be leashed.

Guide to Avalon

Family-friendly RV camping near Avalon, California centers on coastal sites with access to urban amenities. The region maintains moderate temperatures year-round, rarely dropping below 50°F even in winter months, making off-season camping an attractive option for those seeking fewer crowds. Most coastal campgrounds operate under high demand with specific reservation windows that open 6-8 months in advance.

What to do

Beach activities: Bring inflatable water toys at Newport Dunes RV Resort where campers enjoy the lagoon's recreational options. "They have a movie on the beach when we were there, and fun water toys out. It was rather expensive though," noted Kimberly A. The resort provides an inflatable obstacle course in summer months for children to climb.

Coastal biking: Rent or bring bikes for the extensive waterfront paths at Waterfront RV Park. "We rode bikes along the bike path through Huntington, and went for daily walks as well," shares Zach R. The paved routes connect multiple beach areas for miles of scenic riding.

Military history exploration: Walk nature trails at Seabreeze at Seal Beach where wildlife viewing opportunities abound. "Wetlands on the base and birds galore," mentions Geri J. The campground sits adjacent to a nature reserve with walking paths that are well-lit at night for evening strolls.

What campers like

Fruit picking: Help yourself to citrus at Orangeland RV Park where campers can harvest fresh fruit. "Super friendly staff, super clean, 2 dog parks, offers really good wifi & cable. Can pick the oranges out of the tree," notes Alivia R. This unique feature provides a fun activity for all ages.

Entertainment options: Enjoy free movies at San Mateo Campground. "A fun little hike (1.5 miles) to the walk until tresels beach. I think it's 2 miles all together. The beach is beautiful, great for surfing!" reports Brianne S. The campground provides easy access to surfing spots popular with locals.

Urban convenience: Shop and dine within walking distance of Dockweiler Beach RV Park. "The most fantastic thing about this RV spot is the location - directly facing a large, beautiful, clean beach with built in fire rings, a very long bike bath and bike rental kiosk," shares Darlene M. The park sits beneath LAX flight paths, adding plane watching to potential activities.

What you should know

Reservation timing: Book 3-6 months ahead for peak summer periods, especially at popular oceanfront locations. Many beach-adjacent parks have seasonal closures - Huntington Beach RV Campground operates October through May only, closing during summer tourist season.

Site separation varies widely: Expect limited privacy at Golden Shore RV Resort where sites are arranged efficiently. "RV Park very close to downtown Long Beach. Nice restroom and laundry facilities. Pool and hot tub are clean," reports Kim M. Some sites offer more room than others despite the urban setting.

Pest management: Bring ant deterrents for ground-level camping. "We made the mistake of not being prepared for the ANTS!!! After trying to get rid of them we came in to find ants on top of ants having a party," warns C M. about San Mateo Campground. Many campers recommend creating barriers with borax, cinnamon, or commercial products.

Tips for camping with families

Pool activities: Schedule dedicated swimming time during hot months. "We also liked having the hot tub/pool at the end of the day. Our girls loved swimming and soaking," shares Zach R. about Waterfront RV Park. Some facilities require reservations for pool use, particularly during peak season or pandemic restrictions.

Kid-friendly amenities: Look for playgrounds and organized activities at Anaheim Harbor RV Park. "We tent camped here for one night before meeting friends at their timeshare for a Disneyland vacation. There are only two tent sites (T1 and T3), the rest are for RVs," notes Jessica R. The campground provides convenient access to theme parks in the area.

Security considerations: Use bike locks and secure valuables at night. Multiple campgrounds report occasional theft issues, especially during busy periods. Waterfront facilities with high tourist traffic warrant extra precautions for equipment and personal items.

Tips from RVers

Parking logistics: Research additional vehicle fees as some parks charge separately for tow vehicles. "The standard sites are essentially a large parking spot in a paved parking lot. The deluxe feel more like an RV site with a picnic table and grass. And for only a few bucks more," advises Jennifer H. about Anaheim Harbor RV Park.

Site selection strategy: Request sites away from restrooms for quieter overnight experiences. Corner spots typically provide slightly more room to extend slides and awnings. For beach views, premium sites at Newport Dunes and Dockweiler Beach RV Park command higher prices but deliver direct ocean access.

Utility preparation: Bring extension cables for water and electrical hookups as some sites place connections inconveniently. "Sites throughout these parks typically have limited separation between neighbors," with varying access to utilities. Many RVers recommend bringing at least 25 feet of sewer hose to ensure proper connections.
