Question
I will be traveling from Yuma, AZ to San Diego this summer so my kids can attend day camp at Sea World.  I would like to find a beach where I can park my 27 ft. travel trailer for about a week.  I'm looking for full hook-ups and a safe place for my children ages 3,7 & 13.

Thank you,

Monica

Hi Monica,

Sorry for the delay, I was out of town this weekend, and had no Internet access.

Have I got a place for you! It's called Campland on the Bay, and it's the best place to RV in the San Diego area. You can have full hookups, and it's right on Mission Bay, close to Sea World. In fact, you can see SW from Campland. Very safe, close to Sea World, right on the bay, and plenty of activities make this the place to stay. Check it out at www.campland.com.

There is a California State Campground at San Elijo State Beach, and a private campground at Chula Vista, but they are 5 or 10 miles away. San Elijo is very difficult to reserve (spots are reserved the first of each month 7 months in advance). Chula Vist RV Park is not very kid-friendly.

You can check out some reviews at rvparkreviews.com.

Have a great time!
