What you should know
Site sizing variations: Most RV parks have limited space between units. At Marin RV Park, "The spots are narrow. No room for awning. Close to gather. Sites are gravel and level," according to Todd H.
Urban environments: Several RV parks are located in urban or industrial areas. "It's surprisingly quiet for being in a semi industrial area right next to the 101, but there is road noise of course," notes David M. about Marin RV Park.
Reservation processes: Booking procedures vary by location. At Half Moon Bay RV Park, one camper shared: "Lisa was helpful when making this reservation a few months ago. It went the same way for check in. Prior to check in while enroute we appreciated her call assigning our site and the best way to enter it."
Tips for camping with families
Limited privacy considerations: When camping with children, be prepared for close quarters at most RV parks. "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," advises Rosie R.
Look for tent options: While most facilities primarily serve RVs, some accommodate tent camping. At Sugar Barge RV Resort & Marina, "The tent-area was a clearing, fully backed up to the levee, with some shade and a water spigot. Appears to be only 4 'sites,' which are defined by picnic tables, GENEROUSLY spaced, no fire rings."
Pool availability: Several RV parks offer swimming facilities for children. Flag City RV Resort provides "Nice pool and hot tub" according to reviewers, making it suitable for families needing recreational options.
Tips from RVers
Extended stay options: Many parks accommodate longer stays. At Flag City RV Resort, "We started our 5 month road adventure here and we ended it here," notes Michael C., indicating the feasibility of using these locations for extended periods.
Access challenges: Some parks have difficult entry roads. At Rio Viento RV Park, a camper warns "The road in is very bumpy, so take your time," while another adds "the road leading into the park is extremely" rough, suggesting careful driving when arriving with large rigs.
Utility connections: Water and sewer hookups sometimes require additional equipment. At one location, a camper noted "Hookups are pretty fast away and needed my sewer extention," indicating RVers should travel with extension hoses and adapters for flexibility at various sites.
