Best RV Parks & Resorts in California

10,000
Reviews

California's RV park network ranges from basic to luxury, with most offering concrete pads and hookups for motorhomes of various sizes. Rancho Jurupa RV Park provides full hookups on paved sites with well-maintained grass areas throughout the Cottonwood section, while the Lakeview area features dirt roads with water and electric connections. South Carlsbad State Beach Campground accommodates big rigs with fifty-amp electrical service, water hookups, and dump station access year-round. Morro Bay State Park similarly supports RV camping with water hookups and generator use permitted, though electrical connections are not available. "Cottonwood is for the true RV'ers... Nice park with large concrete pads, easy backing in and hooking up."

Throughout the state, amenities vary significantly between coastal and inland RV facilities. Many parks require security gate codes after hours, with some locations implementing separate access codes for showers and dump stations. Cell service quality fluctuates by location, with reviews noting Verizon coverage of "20 down / 15 up Mbps" in more remote areas. Pet policies generally permit dogs at most RV parks, though restrictions may apply in certain sections. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, weekend occupancy rates surge significantly at popular locations, particularly those near urban centers or coastal attractions. Dump stations are commonly positioned near park entrances, allowing for convenient access when departing, though dedicated full-hookup sites command premium rates and typically require advance booking.

    Fiddlers Cove RV Park

    Great RV Park - We love it!

    Very clean and well maintained but rather small RV park collocated with a nice marina. This is a military installation so it’s not open to the public. This is our go to staycation place on San Diego bay. Close enough to Coronado but far enough to be secluded. 20/30/50 amp power, water, and cable TV connections on the pedestals. Most spaces are back-in, but some are pull-through. Pet friendly with disposal stations, and the park has a nice mini-mart.

    Clio's Rivers Edge RV Park

    Great RV Park

    Impressed with clean sites and tall pine trees. A very clean RV park and friendly staff. Call for reservations as its popular. Some lower sites had concrete pads for the provided table. Several seasonal private modular homes among the RVer. Secured large dog area with running creek within walking distance. A number of lower RV spaces within walking pathways to creek. Most were 30 amps and upper level had some 50 amps. Lots of back ends and pull throughs. Visitors must walk to the trash designated area fenced in with recycling bins. Only one bathroom building that housed laundry room. Shower stall in women’s area .50cent for 20 minutes and 2 toilet stalls that the door hits your knees a very weird old bathroom. We enjoyed the park and plan to return again.

    Humboldt County Fairgrounds

    Good place for a few days

    Plenty of room for all RV’s large to small. 30 & 50 amp power and water. Clean restrooms, heated and free. Many long term residents. The spots are level, it felt safe enough. Quiet. Close to Ferndale, which is Must See. Access from Fernbridge of of 101 as the other roads are very twisty for all but the smallest RVs. Camp host was great! Short drive into Eureka. Patriot Gas has a car wash for big rigs. Not really a photogenic campground. Very open area surrounded by fields with cows, farms and trees in the distance. Used the RV dump as I left. It’s by far the worst RV dump that I’ve used. It works, but needs a complete rebuild. I suggest requesting a spot with full hookups.

    Bertrand's High Desert Mobile Home & RV Park

    Good Place to Stop Over for a Night

    Came here after "visiting" the other so called RV park in this area. This is a nice place and we were greeted by the friendly maintenance guy as soon as we pulled in. 

    For overnighters there is a separate area from the long term residents with level pull through sites and full hook ups (20, 30 and 50amp) for $30/night.  One of us felt that being secluded away from the main park gave the overnighters area a spooky lonely vibe at night (the other of us didn't feel that way and felt fine).

    There is also a self pay drop box (if you need to pay with credit card or want a receipt pay at the office) right outside the fenced overnighter area which also has an easily accessed dump station and potable water for $10 fee if you just need to dump and fill.

    The friendly maintenance guy came around to make sure we had everything we needed after we set up. This is right off of Hwy 178 so there is road noise but it quieted down at night. The area is clean and there are dumpsters available as well as a laundry room which is inside the residential area. Laundry was $1.75/wash and $1 for dryer. This park is a good place to stay the night or for a chore day while traveling through.

    Good cell service with AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile, unsure if park has WiFi available.

    There's also an RV parts store next door which we did not check out.

    Overall a nice clean place, nothing fancy or beautiful but a good place to clean up before heading back into boondocking.

    Topaz Lake RV Park

    Wonderful private RV campground

    We spend a month here every year and several weekends, too. It’s clean, the host, Julie, is very friendly and the spaces are great. Plenty of space for our 34’ travel trailer. Full hookups - water, electric and sewer and Cable tv, plus decent wifi. No fires are allowed, but you are right on the lake, with two docks and a beach with shade everywhere and amazing views, so who cares? There is a fish cleaning station, a laundromat, bathrooms with toilets and pay showers. There is also a small store and a freezer full of delicious ice cream treats. Pet friendly as long as your pets are leashed. There are two docks and you can dock your boat for a few. We leave our kayaks on the beach. Everyone is really friendly and Chuck, the maintenance man, could not be nicer or more helpful! He is a treat to chat with! A picnic table at every site, trees at every site and the lake has great fishing and boating. Can you tell we love this place?

    Mission Bay RV Resort

    Short and to the point

    It’s a nice Rv resort. Big rig friendly pull through sites. Went Veterans Day weekend 2021 and the weather was perfect. Short walk to the water, De Anza Cove. The beach is a dog friendly after 4 p.m.

    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!

    Furnace Creek Campground — Death Valley National Park

    Furnace Creek Death Valley

    Spaces were roomy, pull through had plenty of room for our tow vehicle, trailer and another vehicle. Good sized area with picnic table and enough space for a large pop up and tent. Full hookups were nice, be prepared for high temps even in the spring. It was over 100 in April but the overnight temps were very comfortable.

    San Lorenzo Park

    Easy, Convenient & Pretty

    What a find! Mostly level, mostly gravel and grass, mostly pull through sites. Water, and 30 amp and 12 V available. Not sure about 50 amp. Good cell service, bathrooms, showers and a dump station round out the on-site conveniences. Firings and picnic tables with a choice of well-shaded or solar-friendly sites. A nice walking path, circles the campground and is well used in the mornings and evenings by locals running or walking dogs and babies. The first half of the park has a rustic agriculture, museum, and lots of old farm equipment on display. There are also spaces to rent for parties and events with their own parking area separate from the campground. King City has grocery, gas, some restaurants and some shops just outside of the park.
