Unlike the other review we thought the spot was great. It was wide open with views of rock outcroppings to the north and south. Maybe our bar is low for what is a good view?
It was just far enough off the highway you can't hear it, but you could see the cars light off in the distance. It was only about 2 or 3 miles away.
The road to get there was easy enough drive, just a bit rough with wash boards in a few spots. We pulled in with the class c no issue.
If you want to get out of view of the highway you could keep going east along the road, looked like there were plenty of other pull off spots. There was also some rougher trails you could easily make with a 4x4 that would take you closer to the rocks and out of view of the highway.
For a quick stop over it was perfect and only 10min from the interstate.
You're on the strip, but thats the only real highlight.
Spots are basic and youre essentially in a giant parking lot. They didn't have security at the gate so you have to call up and get a code to get in, and then have to make sure to remember it to get out otherwise you're calling up again .
The circus circus casino/hotel itself are pretty dated and it's falling apart so we spent more time at other hotels and events, and just slept in the RV parking.
Make sure you have good ac. It was 112f and the sun was beating down, even at night it was 90+ . There is no shade.
The splash pad was actually not bad, and you get in without a fee. It was the only saving grace against the heat, and the pools were right next to the RV parking.
Nice little site that is right in the middle of everything.
It's crowded and you don't have much space, but if your using this instead of a hotel room it works great.
It had a game room and pool so kids had something to do. There were families all over with kids riding bikes. We had a quick stay over while we were seeing family in the area and it worked great .
Only issue we had is both entrances have a hell of a dip, we scraped the ass end real good going in and out with our 24ft class c.
We stopped here on our way to Laguna Beach from San Fransisco area. It was right off I-5. We parked between the restaurant and the hotel. There was a security truck that was sitting there and at first, I thought they'd tell us we couldn't park, but he just gave us a wave and we parked right next to him. Was quiet till around 7-8am when morning shift folks started pulling in to start work.
Just make sure not to buy gas at the station next door, was absolute highway robbery, so we drove a further down and stopped for gas.
It was a pretty standard RV park next to the beach. Had some cool views that are a very short walk. The only issue we had was a tweeker across the bay was screaming at the top of her lungs for about 20min, other than that pretty standard RV park fair.
If you got kids, and just need a spot to stop it's not bad. Kids can run on the beach without too much trouble. It's a bit expensive for what it is.
Campground was simple, full hookup at the top of a hill above a small river. Our campsite had a little trail that went down to the river however was steep as hell and was a bit jarring for the kids.
Only issue we had was the trees made starlink almost useless. Even in the open field at the center we had issues and there is no cell service at all.
So if you're just camping it's excellent and cheap option,
but if you need to work it's a bit rough.
