Near Beverly Hills, California, RV parks range from urban settings to oceanfront locations. The Los Angeles basin terrain creates a mix of coastal and inland camping environments. Most campgrounds in the region are situated at elevations under 1,000 feet and experience mild Mediterranean climate with average daytime temperatures of 70-85°F year-round, allowing for four-season camping.
What to do
Beach activities: 15 miles from Beverly Hills at Dockweiler Beach RV Park, campers can access immediate beachfront recreation. "The park is right next to the beach, walk 1 minute and you're there. There's also a bike path that goes for miles both north or south - great for an early workout," notes one visitor. Fire rings are provided on the beach for evening gatherings.
Urban exploration: 10 miles north of Beverly Hills at Hollywood RV Park, visitors use the location as a base for city sightseeing. "It takes some planning to visit LA when you are traveling with an RV. This seems to be one of the best places to stay with an RV to visit LA, since driving and parking an RV in LA can be challenging and parking an RV in west LA is not allowed," explains a camper who recommends using rideshare services from the park.
Water recreation: 25 miles southeast at Bonelli Bluffs, multiple water activities are available. "There is camping, horseback riding, fishing, trails, biking, hiking, picnics, you can use your jet skies in designated areas, swimming on the pool areas, kayaking, Park for kids and plenty more," shares a visitor who particularly enjoyed the fishing opportunities.
