Best RV Parks & Resorts near Santa Monica, CA

Perfect spot to stay in central orange county. Nice amenities. Clean bathrooms. well functioning rv hook ups. Everything worked as planned. Interesting mix of short term and long term guests. Clean and well maintained.

Petty much the best rv park in the area for long term stay

We stayed here 2 nights because it’s a Thousand Trails campground and we’re TT members. It’s in the middle of nowhere in the desert. That’s both good and bad. It’s very very close to railroad tracks and at night the loud train kept waking us up. The sites are dirt so be prepared to get lots of fine dessert dirt in the camper. They had a pool and basketball court and there are lots of tress so that’s good. Full hook ups were available to us no problems with that. We had to change our reservation last minute and the staff was good about it. If you need a place to camp around here I’d reccomenc it if you’re a TT member bc it’s free to members and what’s better than free??

Your not on the beach but literally on the other side of pacific coast highway you are there. They have smaller options for travel trailers with power hook ups only and pull through and back in sites available with full hook ups. They have a great pool, maintained laundry rooms bathrooms and showers separated by men and woman for that privacy you need. Overall an incredible rv park and very impressed by it being well kept and clean. Not to mention close to the beach

My favorite RV resort. Located in the back bay of Newport Harbor ND has it all. This place is super clean and super accomodating. They have cottages for rent if needed and you can have up to 1 tent on an RV spot. Bike trails for the kids and Balboa Island is just right down the way. Expensive but well worth it.

This campground happens to be very close to home so we went here to try out our brand new pull behind camper trailer for the very first time.
The campground is small, quiet and very well-kept.

In fact, every subsequent campground toilet facility I now compared to this one because it was so clean!!

Only 12 sites - all have full hook ups, picnic table and fire pit.

Make note! There is no Wi-Fi here and as best we could tell , no cellular signal for any provider.

Large grassy area for picnicking etc. Small park area for the children. And a really amazing looking archery zone that the public can use on Saturdays for a mere $5

Go here to relax and disconnect! We loved it. 

I have been on a 3 month trip and stayed at 22 different campgrounds. Malibu RV Resort has the best views for the price, hands down.

Great location, spectacular views, kid & pet friendly. Lots of Extras!

Best part is the kindness of the Malibu Beach RV Resort Staff.

Priceless!!!

Full hookup in both parks, Legacy (gravel for smaller RVs) and Sunset (cement spots with extra spot for a car). Legacy is a no thrills gated gravel parking lot that holds maybe 20 smaller RVs. Conveniently located next to the laundry and grill (the salmon is great!). Sunset is on the other side of the base down a bumpy gravel road that leads a to a hidden yet well kept RV Park butted up to a civilian baseball field. Clean and level but lots of gnats. For my very first RV experience, this was pretty awesome! Billeting staff was very nice and helpful. Definitely recommend for military and vets!

It's a very hot campground close to a road and train. Sites are big. Tons of things to do for adults and children. In the summer they had a cart with breakfast and snow cones and nachos for sale in the afternoon. As with all Thousand trail sites, it's pretty decent.

Amazing - beyond words- worth the insane high prices for bay side camping and large spots. High end area- really nice and true five star RV resort- I would rate 6 if I could. I stayed in multiple spots and having another trip there in a month bay side!

Well suited for long-term needs. Beautiful murals throughout park. Laundry, showers/restroom, personal mailbox, amazing staff!

Good place to rv stay. Back in sites with HUGE additional spots for extra vehicle. No tables Full hook ups All paved spots which is great because no dust getting into your rig. I took a picture of 5 before we pulled in so you can see how huge. The host is friendly and lives on site. No pool A laundry room is available Besides that pretty basic but has full hook ups

Very good park, well kept and clean. Onsite bathrooms,showers, office and clubhouse. Small pool no hotub. Friendly neighbors great long term stay.

Quite campground. Full hook ups. 15, 30, 5p amp electrical, water, sewer , but no phone or internet. That's the best part. Good place to disconnect and listen to nature.

Cool little county park with some full hook up spots. Nice level concrete pads. Non hook up spots are dirt with some general use water. Nice oak trees sprawling through the park. Great creek when flowing.

The RV resort has electric and water at your sites. There is drinking water, propane filling and dumping area, a mini mart and a laundry facility. The bathrooms are clean with flush toilets and showers. If the place was full it would feel cramped, however I was there during the week with about 1/3 filled. It is difficult to get to the beach. Once going down the hill from the park, you walk about 2 football fields to cross safely at a light. Otherwise you dodge traffic on a very busy road. The road noise isn’t too bad, tho it wasn’t great. The prices are a bit steep, however you get a lot of amenities. Everything was nice and clean, I just wished the beach access was better.

It’s a huge campground. Short term and long term sites. Sites are very tight. Vehicles line the streets because there is no room to park. Lots of kids everywhere and people have lawn chairs and bikes in middle of the street and nobody moves for cars. Kids seem to have no supervision at all. People are not friendly. Nice pool but it’s full of people and little kids splashing and screaming. Long term stays (1 month) is in the back and you have to travel through the maze of golf carts, people walking dogs, cars parked everywhere, kids playing ball in the middle of the street. It’s way too full. It’s not cheap and you have no view of the bay. Management could offer larger spaces so we’re not crammed like sardines but if they did they’d lose money. Can’t do that!! It’s clean and well maintained except we backed into a site and a tree had grown over the fence and damaged the top of our RV. The spaces are not long nor wide. Each site is fenced in so you have to stay within your fenced area.

Beautiful weather, great location, full hook ups, fun activities, family & pet friendly!

Small spots, but level, clean, cement, and full hook up. Bathrooms have great showers, extremely clean, pool and hot tub. 40 to 50 mins to LA and 1 hr to Longbeach. Easy access to freeway small grocery and great coffee shop close.
