Most of the good beach camping (IMO) are CA State Campgrounds.AZRV said:Thanks all for the feedback. Since we are new to the RV adventures I guess I am interested in about all of the available RV camping, resorts, dry camping (which we have not done yet) and any other locations that you RV vets can suggest! Locations from San Diego up north. We would like to make a trip up
the coast to Washington which I have read from some of your posts as quite amazing. How far out do you have to reserve beachside locations would also be helpful to know.
Much appreciated! 8)
Once you build an itinerary, lets us know. I (and others) may have some particular site recommendations before you make your reservations.AZRV said:Awesome information! You just can't beat testimonials from people that have actually been there so thanks again for the feedback! 8)
I would not stay at Silver Strand again. Too many bad experiences. It may be OK during mid-week (but it also may not be)...... There is no supervision at that CG and the people that desire to go there know it. The other people that would like to go there (like me) would like a patrol once in awhile or at least a phone # to call when it starts getting crazy......... and it does get CRAZY.....Sam! said:There is also Silver Strand State Beach being the southmost location in San Diego and Campland on the "Bay" in Pacific Beach.
Actually, Leo Carrillo is 15 miles south of Pt Mugu and across Hwy1 from the beach and so is Malibu RV Park.Bobtop46 said:If you have the money Malibu Beach RV Park in Malibu. Leo Carrillo SP or for rustic right on the beach Point Magu SP.
Faria is "OK" ...... the sites are small and if you park close to the water's edge, you stand the chance of getting sea water spray on your rig from the water crashing on the rocks at very high tides (that's easy to manage). We watch the tide tables and if there is a high tide of 6.5', we don't go to Faria. We were there once when a bunch of rigs just got inundated by sea water. There are good spots and bad spots at Faria and you have to take whatever is available.Lou Schneider said:Just a couple of miles north of Emma Woods State Beach are a couple of small Ventura County parks with beachfront campgrounds.
The road connecting them also has 127 beachfront RV parking spaces for dry camping. It's the old road that's been bypassed by the freeway so there's limited traffic on it.

Your welcome...... If you like remote CGs, You'll LOVE Jalama. It's a bit of a drive off of Hwy1 and it lies just south of Pt Conception. The weather can get a bit wild there if there is a cold front coming down the coast (which can happen in Dec). However, the wind and sea has it's own beauty there. If you happen to be there during the passage of a cold front, it;s quite common to see several water spouts at once because of the proximity to Pt Conception. It is truly a very unique spot. Once you've been there, you'll be hooked.Jeff and Anita said:Hi Wavery,
Thanks for the tip about camping at Jalama State Beach. Just made reservations for the first week of December for 3 nights. Looks like a great campground. We are always looking for campgrounds on the beach. Love Pismo and Emma Wood Beach.
