Thanks for all the suggestions...made some reservations and applying for the California disability card-thx Wendy.
Some of you mentioned more than likely there is no overnight camping on city streets in the Hollywood area, Santa Monica, etc.... A fellow RVer told my hubby that you could park the RV on the "coast" streets and pay $5.00 for over night camping.
Does anyone know if this is true?
He said he traveled up and down the coast this way and pulling his 5th wheel.

I just figured out how to put the "quote" in my reply. This State park (and others) looks great but I'm running into maximum length problems. My husband corrected me...we have a 36 1/2 foot motorhome. Thanks again for the state disability card info.

Never heard of it. Quite the contrary, a lot of California towns and cities prohibit over night camping on the streets.
Ask your friend exactly who he paid that money to.

We live in No. California and have found that all the state parks we have stayed in within CA so far have honored the 1/2 off National "America the Beutiful" Senior Pass

Please tell me which ones honored the Nationa Senior Pass. We've been from Silver Strand in San Diego up to several state parks in Santa Cruz and not a single one honored the America the Beautiful passes, neither the senior nor the access. Of course, northern California is a completely different creature from southern California

Pueblo el Mirage, Phoenix AZ for 7 days unless the heat continues to climb

If you have reservations with ReserveAmerica and you receive your disability card in time you can call and get the discount applied.

Carl,
I'll split that $5 fee with you. We could make a bundle, but the punters would end up in a bunch of trouble ;D

I can see it now. Tom and Carl's Camping Permits. Set up shop on the CA border. I bet we could get $10 for Santa Monica and Hollywood. -- $15 for Beverly Hills even. Won't work for Anaheim tho -- I understand Disney has sewn that one up. 8)

Today is supposed to be the hottest, slight cool down the rest of the week and 80? over the weekend. Give us a holler, the Reiters are in town also at Cotton Lane.

What time of year are you planning this trip? If it is in the summertime then the beach is your only real option. Southern California is a desert and it gets very hot there in the summertime if you go inland.

We are wintering in Dallas, TX and plan to be in CA for June. I'm born and raised in Galveston and miss the beach...never been to a desert tho.

BOI, eh.
Well if you go to CA in an RV you will not miss the desert which will start at about the Pecos River in Texas and finally end at Banning Pass in CA. It will be warm and more importantly, dry, utterly dry with humidities in the teens and twenties. As long as you have lots of water and airconditioning handy it is ok.

Sorry for the mis-information Wendy, my DW informs me that I'm wrong in that the three I was thinking of were U.S. parks not state parks. Stampede Reservoir, Little Grass Vally Reservoir, and Ice House.

I don't remember how long it took for mine to arrive but it wasn't too long of a wait, maybe a couple of weeks.
