Best RV Parks & Resorts near Ramona, CA
Several RV parks surround Ramona, California, providing convenient bases for motorhome travelers exploring San Diego County. Ramona Oaks RV Resort offers full hookup sites with 50 amp service, accommodating big rigs along Highway 78. Just 20 minutes south, Oak Creek RV Resort in El Cajon features concrete pads with full hookups and is rated 4.5 stars for its well-maintained facilities. Thompson Palms Campground, though smaller with only three sites, provides 50 amp electrical service and sewer hookups in a more intimate setting. Circle RV Resort in El Cajon accommodates larger RVs but has notably tight spacing between sites. "We had to back in our 42' because there was no way to just pull in with a vehicle and a tree in the way. But backed in just fine," noted one RVer about the compact layout at Circle RV.
Most RV parks in the region require reservations, particularly during peak seasons when San Diego's moderate climate attracts snowbirds. Cell service varies significantly - Thompson Palms has limited connectivity while parks closer to El Cajon typically offer stronger signals. Dump stations are available at all full-hookup parks, though some charge additional fees. Pet-friendly policies are standard across most properties, with designated dog areas at several resorts. RV travelers should note that many parks have sloped sites requiring leveling blocks, particularly at Olive Avenue RV Resort where one visitor mentioned, "the city made them slope all the pads for water drainage... a huge amount!" Propane refill services can be found at several locations, including Pala Casino RV Resort approximately 30 minutes north of Ramona.
