Best RV Parks & Resorts near South Gate, CA

    Anaheim RV Park - PERMANENTLY CLOSED

    Disney Camping - Clean, Pool, Very Nice Restrooms/Showers

    Anaheim RV Resort is close to Disney and is on the Anaheim Resort Transportation (ART) bus route. They have full hook up sites and room for large rigs - back-in and pull through. They are very pet friendly and even have a dog walking/feeding service (for an extra fee). There is a small pool and hot tub. The restrooms/showers and newly remodeled and very nice! Sites are all level and fairly large. We've stayed here 4 times and will be back again!

    Hidden Gem

    I loved this place, this hidden gem is located in the in the middle of the city, with the feel of the outdoor. Lots of trees, biking and hiking trails, fishing area, beautiful views, very peaceful, family friendly, pet friendly, the C9 RV spot was very spacious, I also liked the A & B area. Not every site has a fire pit. Definitely coming back again.

    Bolsa Chica State Beach Campground

    Bolsa Chica State Beach

    The 4 stars is primarily for location. This is essentially a parking lot with power and water. We had a beach front space (B035) with a decent sized palm tree. The only one I really saw. The spaces aren’t huge so if you have a big rig or large trailer it will be tight. Most trailers parked their tow vehicle perpendicular to the space and some barely fit. There is no privacy, the small concrete area is shared with your neighbors as is the entrance to the beach side. People watching at the boardwalk is amazing. There is live music at the beach bars nearby which was cool. Definitely bring bike. There isn’t a lot within walking distance but downtown Huntington Beach and the pier is just a couple miles away.

    Waterfront RV Park

    Great place by the beach

    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

    Mountain Lakes Resort - Membership Campground

    Great family friendly place

    My wife and I have been coming up here for years. We used to use her parents fifth wheel or use a cabin but recently purchased our own travel trailer. Now we come up here with our kids and I can’t say enough about how family friendly it is.

    Thornhill Broome Beach — Point Mugu State Park

    Beach camping on PCH!

    Spent 3 nights here and absolutely loved it. Campground has trash, porta-potties, and appeared to have potable spigots but didn't confirm. Verizon service was hit or miss, but with a booster it was usable. Nice fire rings and picnic tables. Only downside was highway noise, but the surf drowned out all but big-rigs. Saw dolphins and seals back to back days! We're so glad we went, and if we pass by again we will be staying for sure!

    Ronald W. Caspers Wilderness Park

    One of the Best County Parks you will find

    This is a great park in Southern Orange County. I have tent camped here for years with my kids in the Live Oak campground and never had a bad experience. There are hiking trails everywhere with lots of wildlife to watch. I switched to a travel trailer several years ago and now use Ortega Flats campground. The sites are big and well spaced, with 30 amp electric. The water is off for the time being. The dump station is very close by and easy to access.

    Bonita Ranch Campground

    Just ok overall

    Needed somewhere fairly close to home to take my new to us motorhome. Sites were decent size but fairly close together so don’t expect a lot of privacy. Sites interspersed among long term residents. Hookups water and electric at each site. Some shade, trails to riverbed currently mostly dry and Bonita falls about 25 minute walk over river rock. Fire rings available to rent for $5. The biggest issue I had was our electric went out to our loop at about 7:30pm…luckily we are self contained…it still had not been restored when we left the next day at noonish. The lights to the office area and restrooms was still on (thankfully) but not the camp sites.


Guide to South Gate

Urban camping options abound within a 35-mile radius of South Gate, California. The region sits at elevations between 100-300 feet and experiences a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and warm summers. While South Gate itself doesn't have dedicated RV parks, nearby cities offer concrete pads, full hookups, and varied amenities for both short-term visitors and extended stays.

What to do

Water activities at Newport Beach: The lagoon at Newport Dunes RV Resort features an inflatable obstacle course in the water. "They have activities for the kids like arts and crafts, an inflatable obstacle course or you can rent paddle boards or watch a movie on the beach," notes one visitor.

Biking along Santa Ana River Trail: This path connects the beach to San Bernardino Mountains, providing miles of paved cycling routes accessible from Orangeland RV Park. "Along Santa Ana River Trail path that connects beach to San Bernardino Mts," explains a reviewer.

Fishing at Bonelli Park: Located in San Dimas, this recreation area offers fishing opportunities in a controlled lake environment. "There is camping, horseback riding, fishing, trails, biking, hiking, picnics, you can use your jet skies in designated areas, swimming on the pool areas, kayaking, Park for kids and plenty more," shares a camper.

Mini-golf and swimming: Several campgrounds feature recreational facilities on-site. "Splash pad, park, mini golf great amenities," reports a visitor at Rancho Jurupa Park, while another notes Orangeland offers "Pool, mini golf on site."

What campers like

Urban accessibility: The proximity to major attractions appeals to many visitors. "Great place to spend the weekend. Close enough to some good shopping and restaurants!" notes a camper at Golden Shore RV Resort. The location provides easy access to downtown Long Beach.

Clean facilities: Consistently mentioned across reviews is the quality of amenities. "The pool, showers, bathrooms are all spotless," reports a Golden Shore camper, while another notes: "The grounds are kept in excellent condition - very clean and secure."

Ocean views: For those willing to travel slightly further, Malibu Beach RV Park offers premium coastal camping. "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," shares one visitor.

Family-friendly atmosphere: Many campgrounds cultivate a welcoming environment for families. "Lots of families with children, fishing for catfish in the little lake which is shaded with trees and plenty of tables to picnic by the lake," notes a visitor at Rancho Jurupa Park.

What you should know

Security considerations: Most RV sites near South Gate feature various security measures. "Security is very good and felt very safe, especially considering the location," notes a Golden Shore visitor, while Hollywood RV Park reports, "Quiets down at night so you can rest."

Site sizing limitations: Many urban RV parks have tight spacing. At Anaheim Harbor, "The 40ft RV length restriction includes the length of the hitch," and "If your travel trailer is 21ft you MUST pay for a parking spot even if your total length is less than 40 ft."

Military-only options: Some facilities restrict access to military personnel. "A well kept secret with one drawback; everyone has to have an ID card to get on the base or be pre approved by base security," notes a visitor about Seabreeze at Seal Beach.

Reservation requirements: Busy urban campgrounds often fill up, especially near attractions. "We called a night before and got a Site for our RV," mentions a Hollywood RV Park visitor, indicating last-minute availability is sometimes possible but not guaranteed.

Tips for camping with families

Water parks and splash pads: Rancho Jurupa RV Park offers water features popular with children. "Beautiful views all around Sunrise, Sunset and Night sky. Sights of all kinds of birds like hawks and herons. Water park and mini golf for kids," notes one camper, while another adds, "It's hot but a fire haze has blocked the sun a bit also the water pad is so fun even for grown ups."

Considerate campground selection: Urban campgrounds vary significantly in noise levels and atmosphere. "Super clean, cement slab, walking paths well lit and near to many areas to explore. Wetlands on the base and birds galore," reports a visitor to Seabreeze at Seal Beach.

On-site entertainment options: Some campgrounds provide dedicated recreational facilities. "Every spot has a great view of the Pacific Ocean from high upon a cliff! General store is well stocked and there's a park to lounge or play games on the cliffs edge!" shares a Malibu Beach RV Park visitor.

Tips from RVers

Transportation planning: Access to attractions without moving your RV is important. "Nice camp ground with clean and nice facilities. Bad WiFi," notes a visitor at Golden Shore, while another Orangeland camper mentions, "On-demand public transport for $6/person for all-day access."

Site selection considerations: Not all sites within a campground are equal. "We stayed in site number 43 in our 29 foot Class A. It was just fine," reports a Waterfront RV Park visitor, adding useful specifics about site numbers.

Hookup variations: While most campgrounds offer water and electric, sewer connections vary. At Bonelli Bluffs, "Only plus each site have full hookups and sewer," notes a visitor. Some parks like Anaheim Harbor require specific equipment: "You must have a 25ft sewage hose."
