What to do
**Waterfront activities: The delta region near Rio Viento RV Park provides water recreation opportunities. "Beautiful, quiet clean dog friendly park with very nice helpful staff. Large brick sites. Road to get into the park is rough but take your time, it's worth the drive," notes kelly N.
**City exploration: Access San Francisco via public transport from Marin RV Park in Greenbrae. "30 mins away from the City. A bit pricy but that is to be expected in SF... It is well worth it as one can be in the city within 30mins," shares Raf A. The park offers convenient ferry access to downtown.
**Wine tasting: Vineyards surround several RV parks Concord area visitors frequent. "It's very tight spacing, no privacy in between lots so be prepared and skilled if you have a bigger rig. My 34 foot trailer took some time to get in," writes Lance L. about accommodations near wine regions.
What campers like
**Water views: Campsites at Duck Island RV Park offer Sacramento River vistas. "This is one of the best for the money campground. Very clean, everything is working, exept the Wi-Fi! Every space is very clean with planty space between them. Also they have 30 and 50 Amps at every site. Large open view to Sacramento River," reports Ioan P.
**Swimming options: Several parks maintain pools for summer recreation. "We love this park, we are full timers with a severely autistic son and this park has plenty of spots so we usually dont have neighbors. They have an amazing Laundry room that gets cleaned practically everyday," writes Venna D. about fairground facilities.
**Pet-friendly spaces: Many Concord area RV parks accommodate four-legged travelers. "They have a huge fenced area to walk your dog OFF LEASH. Close to several amenities and just off I5. I'd give this place 6 stars if I could!" explains mary F. about dedicated pet areas.
What you should know
**Site spacing: Expect varying degrees of privacy between parks. "This is an interesting rv park on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It has a ca beach town feel, but is just 20 minutes from San Francisco... the 'campsites' are close together… it's more like a parking lot than a campground, but everyone is friendly and the overall vibe is good," notes Tom H.
**Road conditions: Access roads to waterfront parks often require careful driving. "The road in is very bumpy, so take your time," advises kelly N. Several reviews mention rough access roads as a consistent challenge.
**Cell service quality: Internet connectivity varies significantly between locations. "AT&T coverage was just ok, with 2 bars of LTE and speeds up to 0.8 MB/s. The CG WiFi through TengoInternet.com is bit wanky, only allowing 3 connected devices and requiring a Browser to connect," reports Ray & Terri F.
Tips for camping with families
**Kid-friendly amenities: SacWest RV Park & Campground offers family recreation options. "Great campground! Hospitality and professionalism- that how you can describe this place! Lots of things to do for kids: great playgrounds, swimming pool, more than 100 ducks going around! Beautiful place!" writes Tatiana I.
**Wildlife viewing: Many parks feature natural environments for wildlife observation. "Our group stayed here in early August of 2017. This RV resort gets packed!! RV's were super close together so it's a roll of the dice on what kind of neighbors you're gonna get!! There are a few picnic tables around, but nothing in terms of entertainment for kids. Thank goodness we brought the kids' bikes!! If you are willing to sacrifice the close proximity to neighbors, there are some killer views of the Pacific Ocean. We even saw whales!!"
**Budget considerations: Family camping costs vary significantly between parks. "If you are just stopping for the night and don't mind being an arm's length away then this might do. It's dirty and lots of people living here full time. Don't count on using the laundry," cautions Theresa R. about fairgrounds camping.
Tips from RVers
**Hookup specifications: Flag City RV Resort provides concrete pads with complete utilities. "We stayed here in January 2024 and got a Passport America discount. Traveling south on US-101, then US-12 east, our RV GPS took us right to this campground. Check-in was quick and easy, and we proceeded unescorted to pull through site 32 with FHUs. The cement pad was plenty long enough for our 40' fifth wheel and unhooked F450," describes MickandKarla W.
**Practical amenities: Consider parks with laundry and shower facilities. "Squeaky clean and organized. Nice pool and hot tub, nice laundry facilities (more than one!), moderately sized paved and level sites, nice store with a few local wines, AND HUGE fenced area to walk your dog OFF LEASH. Close to several amenities and just off I5."
**Length restrictions: Some rv parks near Concord enforce rig age policies. "We arrived in our 34 foot motor home only for someone to tell us they only accepted RVs 10 years and newer which is obviously not the case. Gravel and horrible customer service," reports Chelsey M. about fairground policies.
