ScoutBeen passing this exit on the 91 freewqy for 25 years and had no idea canyon Rv park was tucked in beween corona and yorba linda. I was quite amazed with the tidy faculitie a d wqs very peacefull. When U are smake dab in the middle of asfalt jungle. I litteraly forgot where i was because its like a little bubble on you .exot the freeway a d e ter the park everything behind you just melts away and i felt like i was in the woods, and at times i swear i was the only camper here. If you are into easy going peacefull quite camp sites this is one of them
ScoutWe loved this spot next to the beach. We got used to the planes, but they are certainly jarring at first.
GuideThere’s such an interesting mix of people staying at this quirky place! Many friendly and helpful. Faculties are great and it’s quiet an night.
Ir takes some planning to visit LA when you ar 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 and RV in LA can be challenging and parking an RV in west LA is not allowed.
We took an uber. if you stay on the West side of the city it’s okay (still 50/60 USD) for a single ride. But If you want to explore any of the nicer beaches like manhattan Beach I do suggest to take the campervan, park at one of the malls in that area and then take an uber from there. Otherwise it gets super pricy.
RangerGreat spot with beautiful hikes! We were there with a larger group for a scout trip and it was great. Lots of room for our tents.
TravelerReview of dry campervan section of park only, which seemed considerably more quiet and less chaotic than the big RV area...
Amazing beach front sites, expected noise from road and airport but you can still hear the ocean, super lively/loud beach on weekend, very chill weekdays, right off a very nice coastal 20+? mile walking/biking path. Went to a concert last minute at SoFi just 15 min away. Would definitely stay again if I need to be in LA.
Best sites are 125-128.
RangerI was here on a school trip a a kid and had an amazing experience. Such great staff and experiences on the island. Great cabins with bunks and all the other amenities you may need. This site is only for school trips and must be booked ahead of time
RangerGreat spot where you are never alone. Depending on the season, the lot can be packed. It is accommodating for some different size vehicles and has direct beach access and some amenities such as fire pits on the beach. It’s hard to get a better view than this one
RangerThere are almost always other RVs/campers so you a rarely alone:) there are fire pits on the beach (California is otherwise very strict about fires) that are free to use. Highly recommend if you are a group

We parked right by the Pacific Ocean, watched planes from LAX fly overhead, and soaked in a stunning sunset🌅. It was the ideal place to settle into our campervan life as a Desi-Filipino-Canadian family on a 5000 KM adventure.
✅ Beachfront RV spots
✅ Clean restrooms& showers
✅ Amazing views
❗Planes are loud but fun
We had a dry campsite a bit further from the airport, so the plane noise was much less
