Rating: 1 6 8 6 1 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: One of the worst campground I've ever stayed in tight spots, tight roads, floods when it rains. JUST AWFUL. - MikeO
This place is advertised as a "finest resort", but to my personal judgement, it does not look or feel like a resort. Otherwise, it is OK to stay there. Lots are quite small, pool and hot tub are clean, there is a basic gym and recreation room. I was cautious not to leave any belongings outside or unlocked, as there were no gates or any kind of security, and the number of signs, such as "... park on your own risk,... management is not responsible for theft...", etc. was suspiciously overwhelming. I did not use WiFi, but my Verizon hotspot was good. They have cable TV, but quality of it was not to my satisfaction. In short, I will be looking for another park next time. - skiwest
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Santa Fe Park RV Resort »The park was very clean and well organized. The staff were very friendly. The nearby traffic was quite loud, but it was a steady, white noise and didn't really bother us. The only problem was a severed TV cable at our site, but there were lots of air channels, and the manager was quite apologetic. We would return to this park if we visited San Diego again. - John A Guderian

Rating: 9 5 6 4 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Adequate value for the cost of the site. - scoots46
We had an upgraded 'select' site. It barely fit our 32' class C motorhome. The sites are set up so that every other unit faces in the opposite direction, ie, one backs in, next door pulls in frontwards, etc. The sites are long, so two units share the same site, bumper to bumper. Our drivers side and the neighbors drivers side were next to each other, our slides were about 12" apart when open. On the passenger side, our awnings nearly touched when opened. The utilities are located somewhat haphazardly, so you may need electrical extension cords, extra hose, extra sewer hose as well as cable. I think you get the idea. In addition, the site was half dirt and half paved such that the front half of the MH was on dirt, the back on blacktop. Of course our door was in the dirt! So, if you like paying top dollar for a site barely large enough for your rig and staying in an extremely crowded campground, you will love it here. San Diego has changed a lot in the past 15 years, it has become very crowded and somewhat dirty, not unlike many other previously nice cities in this country. - Wyn
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Campland On The Bay »This arguably one of the best locations in San Diego. Beachfront with great facilities, but still close enough to run out to a store or restaurant. It's a great park, just not for us. The sites are extremely narrow and so are the roads. When we arrived, both sites on either side of were occupied as were the sites across the road from us. It took my husband lots of jockeying to manage to get our 26 foot - no slide out - Toy Hauler into the space. To the point where all the neighbors helped spot him and were amazed that he managed to get it into the spot. The sites were set up so that water and sewer were on one side of the site and the electricity was on the other. No matter what, something wasn't reaching. We ended up having to go buy a water hose and not hooking up sewer. The site was only half paved, so the camper entrance was in the dirt, but the truck was on asphalt (and it had to be parked way back to reach the electricity) The park is very kid oriented and full of kids - which is great if you have kids. But, as an adult trying to have a relaxing experience it became a little wearing at times. (Hours of kids shrieking tends to get old for me.) I do think the park would benefit from creating an adult only area. The park, the cafe is good (if slow), they have a great bar, bands at night and is clean. One of the very cool things is the "Super Site" - it's a private fenced in site with it's own jacuzzi and multiple hook ups. - BobbiOh

Rating: 8 8 6 7 2 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Yes, it is a large asphalt parking lot, but it is level, clean and seems well run. Easy to drive through and get into and out of your site. If you have a dog, parking on the far south side gives you a grass/dirt back stop to your RV, so you don't have to walk outside the park. Has been quiet and lets you have easy access to the highways so you can take in all the sites along the coast. Rest rooms are old but kept as clean as possible and trash is picked up every morning. - weighit
The park is a large black top parking lot facility with some trees for shade. All sites are back in. There are two large restroom/shower facilities that are dated but well maintained and clean. Trash cans are numerous and convenient and emptied each morning. Available dog walking area (very large) and close to Fiesta Island (very, very large dog area on Bay). Fire pits/wood available for rent. Quiet hours are 10pm to 8am. Park is fenced with security check in gate. Swimming area/beach (no life guard on duty) is 10 yards from entrance gate. Security patrols 24/7. Boat launch available and of course plenty of fishing. Large public park next door. Only negative is the large number of homeless individuals (with related problems-drugs/mental illness/disease) in Mission Bay area. - socalretiree
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Mission Bay RV Resort »This is basically an overpriced parking lot on the bay. The location was great - but there were old broken down RV's parked on the road most of the way in, and De Anza Cove is a depressing ghost town of mobile homes. We enjoyed riding our bikes around the bay and having a place to walk the dog. All of our neighbors were friendly. Not an impressive park - but convenient to Pacific Beach and Mission Bay. The speed bumps in and out of the park are terrible, especially in a Class A motorhome!! - Melfisonthemove

Rating: 7 8 7 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We enjoyed our week here as it is a safe and decent campground for area visitors. It is not the kind of CG for lounging in your site, etc. The woman running the place is terrific and helpful. The main problem here is that there is no sewer hook-up, so come with empty tanks. If you stay for a week you will get honey bucket service at no additional fee. They come around 9 a.m. on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. It is probably the best deal for camping on the entire San Diego coast. - nmunozjr
Very basic park with gravel drives and sites. Lots of big shade trees, clean and well kept. Quiet even though it was in between a busy street and the 5 Fwy. Owner/Host very friendly and accommodating. No sewer hookups but rest stop north on the 5 has two free dump stations. We stayed here for a dog show at Del Mar fairgrounds. Much better than the full hookup sites that we saw at the fairgrounds. We will stay here again. - MarvMarvs
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Surf & Turf R.V. Park »Simple park, we were told where to park which did not accommodate our trailer due to the trees being too low (a/c unit) and too narrow for space which we could not open awning. The great thing was its close proximity to the beach and highway access. Diesel fuel stations close by not RV friendly. There are no sewer hook ups, but there is a mobile service which visits twice a week. Our trailer was 27' in length and the spot given should be for parking a vehicle. We had to park a certain direction with the door on the left into a tree and the slide on the right inches from the other tree. There were other spots available not sure why we had to be placed there. Parking our vehicle was difficult when other rigs were there. Having to wait on dump service before travel was not worth it for the time we spent. No fire pits all gravel but level. There are no restroom facilities no playground for children. - reymer

Rating: 4 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Del Mar Fairgrounds »This is what I call Sardine camping, when there is an event going on you will be so tight that you can hear your neighbor %*#+. We were here for a car show event, so it was tight to say the least and after the event everybody left and it became more relaxed . One thing I did notice was the people that work here have no respect for the dust that they create or how fast they drive by this motorhome area. The manager said the speed is 10 miles an hour, but I have seen some going at least 30 and the dust boiling. I've said it before; convenience has a price. Since we were going to be in the area, we stayed here another six days. Other than the workers driving by fast, it was nice after the crowds left . Other than an event being here and being part of the event, I would not camp here. Our utilities were accessible; some of the 30 amp plugs were falling apart, don't know what was going on there. Our sewer outlet was convenient, but I know that some other campers could not reach their sewer outlet with their hose. I was told that the RV park is not accessible from late May through September due to workers at the fairgrounds etc. We will probably have to stay here again some time due to the fact we will be part of the event going on. Other than that, I would not come back. - monaco cruiser

Rating: 7 6 8 9 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Pricey for a military facility, but still a reasonable value for its location if you get the military rate. Superb customer service. An earlier reviewer complained about the "broken" English of the staff. They do speak with foreign accents, but their English is fluent, not "broken," and it's sad that someone would confuse those two things in this day and age. The sites are very close together and the pads quite short, which is the main detractor at this park. I barely got all my wheels onto the pad with a 28 foot rig. That being said, it was absolutely level. There is a huge parking lot nearby for tow cars if you can't fit yours on your site. The park and surrounding grounds are lovely - lots and lots of green space and picnic areas, which makes up a little for the very tight sites. There is a golf course adjacent to the RV park, but there is no way to get there walking - you must drive a car. It isn't that far at all, but they won't let you walk along the golf path (gates are all locked), and the road that goes around to the front of the golf course is marked with threatening signs saying not to walk or ride bikes on it. I was informed they will cite people for walking on that road. Rate includes cable tv with lots of channels and free wifi. The wifi is reasonable, not great, but you have to sign up with a credit card (no charge, just for identification), and you can only be signed in with one device at a time. Verizon service is good. Not a great location for bike riding - you have to go a mile or so on a road with a bike lane but scary fast traffic to get to anyplace nice to bike. - KAP99
Stayed 2 nights. Not your usual RV park. Military facility but the office staff were foreigners with broken English. Asked unusual questions like proof of insurance on RV & Car. No discounts for Vietnam vets. Only active or retired. Yet it is open to the public. Our reserved site was occupied as we arrived but was cleared up within a short wait. Utility box was full of spiders & cobwebs. Level concrete slab for our small trailer. Things were okay after settling in. Overall, a good home location base for urban San Diego. Very busy during the summer. I would come here again but be more prepared for the next encounter. - zzzya
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Admiral Baker Field RV Park (Military FamCamp) »This is a great location if you want to be in the middle of San Diego. The concrete pads are a little small and you may find the front and/or back of your unit will hang off the end of the pad. The complex is well staffed, but sadly they are not customer service orientated. They seen to see their role as supervision rather than service. Once or twice a week, they will come around handing out notices reminding people to pick up after their pet, keep areas neat, etc. They just go from unit to unit handing out the notices to everyone. A minor annoyance. A great place in San Diego to spend a few weeks in January or February. - CO Traveler

Rating: 10 3 9 10 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Favorite state campground, great for beach activities, especially surfing. However. be advised that currently the camp store, snack bar and laundry room are no longer there. The notice on the door said the state is hoping to have a new vendor in place this Spring. Also, construction on the new lifeguard tower and out buildings are still in progress with a portion of the South end of the campground closed behind fences. - swn
We were in site 78, no view, hwy 101 was 20' from our back door. The commuter tracks were just on the other side of that and the trains run all night. Our side view was the green construction fence and the construction started very early. If your able to get a site overlooking the ocean it's a beautiful view. We left a day early and will not go back. - GennyandBode

If you get one of the ocean view sites, the view is a "wow". As can be expected in a CA state beach campground in summer, it's packed. Everyone pretty much behaving themselves though. Road/train noise is there but not terrible. Well stocked store. Didn't use food stand. Plenty of food options within walking distance of the campground. - gwbischoff

Rating: 7 8 6 6 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This park is along the freeway, so noise is an issue. It's very clean and it has a very nice pool (though a little small). The big problem here is the format of the campsites. They are arranged in a kind of plus sign pattern. It's an intriguing design which I think could work well for a crowded urban RV resort.
Unfortunately, the limits of each site aren't well marked. So, you can't really be sure of where your site ends and the adjacent one begins. I apparently parked my trailer over the line into an adjoining site. I found out, after I was set up, that I was over the line from one of the employees. My neighbor didn't complain, but I felt guilty. Would it be too difficult to paint lines on the blacktop? Is it too difficult for the check-in staff to make each customer aware of the limits? If you camp at the San Diego RV Resort, I suggest asking about limits and ask for a site as far from the freeway as possible.
A positive for this resort is its close proximity to the San Diego Trolley station. And, if driving, it's very centrally located in the metro area. All utilities are stable and the staff is very nice. The sites are generally short, so your tow vehicle must park next to your site or on the street. Overall, I would probably stay elsewhere if I could. But if this resort is your last "resort" (haha) then it's not too bad. - SeaTeacherExcellent staff, helpful, courteous, professional. Clean pool. Gravel or concrete parking pad, almost level. The parking spots are 'bare bones' and are very tightly fitted in giving not much privacy, surprisingly not too noisy either, considering the light rail track is on one side and a highway is on the other. BUT they are close to a trolley station to get you into town, or to the zoo specifically. - Eliz Plam
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for San Diego RV Resort »We stayed here over the weeekend as other parks were full. The park is clean, pool area is really cool, TV room was nice and clean and recently updated. Bathrooms are dated but clean. Two issues that i had that you may or may not. 1. The neighbor is a long timer, with a lot of junk outside of their unit. Their dog barked all day long when they were out of their unit. I talked with the management, and they said they would handle it. Nothing happened... 2. We had an ANT INVASION at our spot. There were thousands of ants on the ground of our site. By the morning of day 2, we had hundreds of ants INside of the motorhome. The neighbor on the other side gave me ant spray to put in and out of the motorhome (an indication of the massive infestation they have here.) The management didn't seem to care about the issue. Bring ant spray with you and spray around all of your tires, jacks, hoses, etc when you pull in. We beat it out of here quickly. - Rolling Mortgage Broker

Great price for this location! Convenient to most of the San Diego tourist attractions (up to 1/2 an hour to the waterfront boat tours, etc. because of traffic). Level concrete pads, friendly and helpful desk attendants, good cable (but spotty T-Mobile and park Wi-Fi). Some occasional helicopter noise, but not often enough to be a problem. Wicked speed bumps! - ausonius
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Fiddler's Cove RV Park (Military FamCamp) »Great location. Pricey for a famcamp, but given the location, understandable. Customer service is friendly but inept. Questions are met with stares and shrugs. Sites are modern, utilities in good condition. Lots of cable channels, wifi and cell work well. Great bike path runs right by the park. Sites are nice and wide. While they are not very private (the place is a big parking lot, no landscaping at all), at least you aren't camped on top of your neighbors. The waterfront sites are back in. Hence, for motorhomes, the pull through sites in the middle row are better for a nice view than the sites next to the water. Because there's so much space between sites and the rows are offset, the middle sites have a great view of the water and San Diego. Doesn't look like there's a level site in the whole park. Slightly difficult to navigate through, but it was because of people's tow cars parked outside the limits of their sites. Lots of kids, very noisy. Also, there are giant speed bumps throughout the park. They weren't that bad to drive over if you just went slow, but people would speed over them and every time a car went by, there was a big banging sound as they went over the speed bumps. There was a bad odor off the water one day of my stay, but I didn't notice it the other days. - KAP99

Rating: 5 3 6 4 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We have stayed here for 2-4 months at a time for the past 4 years (used to live in the area). Each year the price has gone up with little return invested in the campground areas. A new charge for 2019 is $30 per each indoor cat!! (The charge was removed after I protested that we travel fulltime all over the USA and have never, ever been charged for cats). We have become less and less enamored of this beautiful park that has so much potential to be one of the best, and we've camped in them. The lakes at the south end of the park are lovely and attract water fowl. Overall, the campground seems best suited for short term use and for families. The playground areas have been upgraded and picnic areas for large groups are available for rent. The lakes are periodically stocked for fishermen. At the campground end of the park, things are not so great. The roads are rough and sites are gritty sand, like in state parks. (This winter the swimming pool and hot tub finally received a facelift but the shower and restrooms remain old and tired, like state campgrounds). The most annoying thing: no Verizon cell phone service and spotty AT&T north of the cabins. This year the park did add Tengointernet WiFi ($0 to $39 a month). Volunteer staff remains very friendly and they clean up the vacated sites. Office staff is professional. After hours, there is a hotline for security but the one time that we needed them this year, they didn't answer the phone so we left a message and then drove through the park without finding anyone. We reported it to the office the next day and were told that security had investigated the situation (obviously without informing us). We're friendly folks and overlook some inconveniences like noisy, partying neighbors late into the night and messy sites, but it seems like over time, the park has added more rules but doesn't enforce them. Sites very in size, the largest in the northern end. Smallest around lakes. - The Strongs
This was our 5th annual visit. The month of Jan. 2019 was rainy and our site literally flooded over almost completely. Several attempts asking for help was futile, having been told that this was our personal responsibility, and we should go to Home Depot and purchase pavers as walkways. As 10 year RVers, we have never heard of such a thing. Maintenance men attempted to help, after admitting the site definitely needed a major upgrading, but to no avail. The site provided no true camping, family visits, or just pleasant sitting outside. It never dried up completely, just was a muddy mess. Management, when confronted, provided no resolve whatsoever, nor offered to move us. There is also very limited cell coverage and a major ant problem, plus is one of the highest priced park we have encountered The nightly rate was calculated based on a 1 month stay. We won't be back. - Don Miller
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve »We have stayed at this park every year for about 2-4 months at a time during the winter months. This is the 1st time we stayed in the summer months and we have had a very different experience than normal. There appears to be no rules as to what you may store in or around your trailer. There is garbage bags, toys galore, several easy ups, laundry, etc. Kids are also everywhere with not much supervision. Many kids are even driving golf carts and the park staff seems to allow it. The majority of this is in the full-time/monthly area. The common areas are clean, pool is in maximum use, bathrooms are clean and night noise is not bad. Be prepared for a HUGE electric bill if you stay monthly. If you don't use your air conditioner at all you will average 10 KW a day. Each KW is .27 so your bill will never be less than about $100 per month. If you go more than that you will hit the high usage charges and your bill will skyrocket in the summer. This park is convenient so we will be back, but never again in the summer. I also hope this park gets back to their site standards and requires full-timers to keep their space clean. Disappointed with this years stay. - Dmuecke
