Where to go in S. California

[Turboman]

Planning a trip to SoCal in late December. Would like to find an RV park between LA and San Diego. Any suggestions? What sites to see for younger kids? Thanks

This is a neat place, but it is a bit pricey.

Real close to the ocean, quick drive from Disneyland/Knott's Berry Farm.

If you plan on visiting orange county attractions(Dland,Knotts,etc)there are many in town but there is one out aways(east)Canyon rv (used to be called Featherly Park)that has a more wilderness feel. Like Sam said Newport dunes is nice with its own waterway.

In addition to the suggestions above, you might check out the State Parks, but get your reservations early.



Doheny State Park is right on the beach in Dana Point, but doesn't have full hookups. San Clemente State Park will give you full hookups on the Bluff overlooking the beach, and was recently remodeled. Both are exactly half way between SD and LA, about 35 minutes from Disneyland, and close to all amenities.



San Elijo is in North San Diego County and is right on the beach and very nice.



Find them all here with pictures... . http://www.parks.ca.gov

Kids of all ages would love to see the San Diego Zoo. The best in the US

What kind of rates for newport dunes are we talking about? Place looks like it has a good bling factor.

Try this place, a county park, its cheeper than Canyon RV park and quieter, not too far from Disney land and Knotts. http://www.co.san-bernardino.ca.us/parks/prado1.htm

what Damon sugests is great. San Clemente State Park is a great beach to stay and relax.

$195. 00 PER NIGHT :--) for beach front site

Not a snowballs chance in hell I would EVER pay that kind of money to camp.

That makes 2 of us! They probably won't even let "common folk" in with regular trailers/5vers down in there anyhow.

They better have Pamela Anderson washing trailers "necked" for those prices!!

Turboman, Befroe you start traveling, I recommend joining Passport America ($44 a year) through Camping World. The savings is usually 50% at their campgrounds (many throughout the US). Campland on the Bay$15-$38 per night(Passport), and its on Mission Bay and close to all attractions. To see Disneyland and Knotts see the Anaheim listings in the Trailer Life camping book. Don't forget to bring winter clothes as the temps can get down to 70 degrees during the day. Don .
