Great clean campground, beautiful views, short walk down to the beach! Lots of hiking trils around, or take the walk across the beach to the shake shack! Definitely recommend for a local glamping trip!

Dockweiler Beach RV Park
Fires on the Beach!!!
This is a pretty great RV campground. One of the only in Southern California/Los Angeles area where you can have a fire on the beach.
Morgan F.GuideMoro Campground — Crystal Cove State Park
Typical Beach Campground
Much like most California Beach Campgrounds, it is very crowded with little privacy. The beach is great but it is basically a glorified parking lot
Tim S.TravelerMoro Campground — Crystal Cove State Park
Laguna Beach getaway
Luckily Booked last minute on reserve California (the worst web thing ever) on site 49. Looks like there is a oven view from every site. Close to beach and shopping.
susan S.TravelerMoro Campground — Crystal Cove State Park
Don’t break the rules
Parked van sideways to get more privacy and went to shower and came back to a ticket. I didn’t read the camp rules, figured you could park any way you want in your site like all the other state park in Southern California.
Tabitha H.TravelerMoro Campground — Crystal Cove State Park
Glad it exists
It’s pretty crazy to be camping among the million dollar homes but thankful we can. It’s a beautifully maintained spot on the cliff overlooking the ocean. So much nicer than many of the Southern California beach spots in that there is a bit more space and it's much nicer than a parking lot. Plus the fantastic benefit of miles of hiking trails right from the back of the campground and the ocean and beach right in front. Something for all. And if you want to go have a posh meal or shopping that’s just a minute away too.
Be sure to go take a look at the Crystal Cove cottages while here, it’s a pretty special spot. Try and hit up the Shake Shack too!
Only downside is not being able to have a fire but we just used our propane portable fire pit. Spots in the back have hookups and spots in the front are tent. The tent spots are a bit nicer and would fit small trailers.

Glen Ivy RV Park
Relax long term stay
We were here to visit family in California & came across this gem near our family’s home. Since we were staying for a few months it was perfect & the monthly rent was very reasonable. This park is very dog friendly. The park has 2 large green areas to walk your dogs at & a fenced in dog area in the very back (not recommended as it is not kept up). The staff here have been friendly & helpful when we have needed RV upkeep. They have a gentleman in the park whose a resident that can wash your rig for a charge & he does a great job (just ask at the front gate for his info). The market stocks just the basic necessities but it’s nice when needed. The park is clean & the garbage is picked up a few times a week. They’re are trash bins near every section of the park as well as bathroom/shower facilities with washer & dryers at most of them. We stayed for 5 months. This park is central to everything.

China Camp State Park Campground
Ideal for a Camping and Mountain Biking Weekend In Marin County
Located on the west side of the San Rafael/Richmond Bridge, on San Francisco Bay, this park is extremely popular with mountain bikers. There are definitely better mountain biking trails in Marin (Tamarancho Boy Scout Camp, for example) but keep in mind that the bar is very high for mountain biking in Marin. So China Camp won't disappoint even if it's not the most epic biking in the area. The trail running and hiking is great too. The campground is off the main road that parallels the bay. It's located just past a meadow, and in the (increasingly rare) wet months, there's a creek that runs through the park. The website will say the sites are "hike in", but this is not how I'd describe it. Yes, you need to park in the main lot and then carry your gear to the campsite, but it's not really a hike. More like a short walk, a quarter of a mile at best. This means you will be able to bring your fully iced Yeti loaded with tasty local microbrews to your campground. Heck, maybe you can figure out how to hitch it to your mountain bike so you can tow it in.
The park itself is classic country California - oak, madrone, and even the occasional redwood. It's often foggy in the morning, and sunny in the afternoon. You can camp here year round, and I've been here in the winter, spring and summer. I really enjoy it here when the creek is running, but even in the summer when its dry, the proximity to the bay means it probably won't get too hot. Bring your mountain bike and shoes suitable for hiking and trail running. I've never done it, but I'm pretty sure you could kayak in the bay here as well.
This park is 4 stars because one would never plan a trip to visit China Camp on its own, but it definitely would be included as part of a larger trip to Marin county. A great Marin trip would be: set up camp at China Camp, day trip to Muir Woods, day trip out to Point Reyes, half day of mountain biking in China Camp, full day of mountain biking on Mount Tamalpais, full day of mountain biking at Tamarancho. Drink plenty of local microbrews in between. For locals, this is an awesome spot located right in the Bay Area. I come here often, and I've never had a bad time.

Los Alamitos Army Campground
On Base Safety
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!

Dockweiler Beach RV Park
Neat and clean but small spaces.
They have a very efficient way of checking their quest in. Staff was very nice and helpful. Bathrooms were very clean. The problem is the spaces are very small and beware of the ones on the north end the front of your vehicle will not be facing the ocean. Early morning you will smell the reclamation plant across the street.

Dockweiler Beach RV Park
Great with considerations
The most fantastic thing about this RV spot is the location - directly facing a large, beautiful, clean beach with built in fire rings, a very long bike bath and bike rental kiosk. You can step out of your RV and be right on the beach in minutes, for long walks, biking, sunbathing etc. The bathrooms were clean and park is located close to many LA attractions. Also, RV parking is very limited in this area - it is LA. The downsides are that it is basically parking lot camping and you are directly under the LAX flight path which means large and noisy keys overhead all day long. For us, the pros outweighed the cons. We quickly were able to ignore the airplanes and being able to walk out and do my morning yoga on a freshly raked beach was heaven!

Dockweiler Beach RV Park
Un trato pésimo
Los empleados que nos atendieron fueron muy desagradables, se estaban riendo de nosotros literalmente. Tras pagar la reserva nos dice que nuestro Jeep Wrangler no puede acceder al camping porque no está camperizado, cuando nosotros disponemos de fregadero, nevera, cocina. Todo ello incorporado en el vehículo . Se negaron a comprobarlo. Y simplemente nos dijeron que tardarían entre 40-60 días en devolvernos el dinero.
Kim N.TravelerDockweiler Beach RV Park
beachfront
Youre packed like sardines but it's beachfront. It's noisy if you have party neighbors but they do turn off the music by 1030 ish so it's enforced. You hear planes flying and tmobile wifi is not great at the campground but good when on the beach front. It's at prime location in LAX so that was nice to go around town. Has full hookups. We would come back again if we need to be near LA area.

Dockweiler Beach RV Park
Right on the beach
The RV park has a hookup area and a dry camping area. The hookups are full of large rigs, very close one with another, in a parking lot style. The dry camp provides much more space, but only relatively small RVs.
Pros: The park is right next to the beach, walk 1 minute and you're there. There's also a bike path that goes for miles both north or south - great for an early workout. Restrooms are clean and have showers.
Cons: You will hear each and every if the planes taking off from LAX, but at one point you don't hear them anymore. It was not really annoying, but that flight at 5a was...

Beach, Sunsets, & Airplanes
Dockweilder is an awesome camping experience if you love the beach and airplanes. With LAX less than .5 miles away, you get the pleasure of plane spotting 24/7. The bike path is in front of the campground and it will take you all the way to Redondo Beach or Santa Monica.
Check out the local town of El Segundo. It has some great dining options and looks like Mayberry.
Cell Reception: Great

Sea Breeze at Seal Beach: The Perfect RV Resort for a Safe, Relaxing and Enjoyable Stay Near the Ocean
Sure, here's the review of Sea Breeze at Seal Beach:
I recently stayed at Sea Breeze at Seal Beach and I must say, it's my favorite RV resort on a military installation. The security is tight, as it should be, which made me feel safe and secure during my stay.
The campground itself is very nice, well-kept, and has large spaces for RVs. It was also surprisingly quiet, which allowed for a relaxing stay. I will definitely stay here again and look forward to my next visit.
One of the best things about Sea Breeze is its location. There are plenty of restaurants close by, as well as the beach. It's a great spot to stay if you want to be close to the water and enjoy the ocean breeze.
Overall, I would highly recommend Sea Breeze at Seal Beach to anyone looking for a great RV resort. It has everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and the location can't be beat. Whether you're traveling alone or with family and friends, this is a great option for a safe and relaxing vacation.
