I will for sure! My sister in law reserved spots over 6 months ago

We've done quite a bit of camping in So Cal when the kids were little.

South Carlsbad
Santee Lakes
KQ Ranch Julian
Dixon Lake Escondido
Lilac Oaks in Valley Center
Woods Valley in Valley Center

Islander RV resort.. Now you can have a water front spot and you're not stuck there all year round..

In Paso Robles there's a place called Wine Country RV Resort, it's real nice. I towed my buggy up there behind the RV and took the buggy wine tasting, it was a total blast.


I have heard that Edison Campground at Shaver is super nice but I've never been there. Lake Tahoe has some nice places as well.

But none of them are as nice as the RV park at Circus Circus on the Vegas strip.

What's your favorite campground? Is there any place you like that you don't have to book a year in advance to get in? Santa Barbara to San Diego?

Thanks

Santa Barbara Elks lodge.
Nice campground and great facilities with unique functions. The Lodge itself was pretty much founded long ago and developed by the Brothers at the Monastery up in the canyon above so it has that old California character. Nothing like it anyplace.
Ya have to be a member of any Elks Lodge though. About $20 a night full hookups.

We used to love the Disneyland Campground but that got replaced with a parking structure. (The Florida location is still excellent).

My favorite is still the top of the Gecko Loop Glamis. But that's just me not for everyone.

We just got back from Samstown RV park Las Vegas.
South Side is the most desirable with huge pull thrus, the North side need a re design and can be a hassle.
Usually we pay about $25 a nite with our discount card. 50 AMP full hook ups.

Free shuttle hourly to Downtown or the Strip, no resort fees.

The AVI in Laughlin works. Lots of SxS trails to some interesting places and grocery stores and bars.

Yes, its' across the street.. :thumbsup

I'd love to be able to take a few quick 3-4 day weekends and escape the Vegas heat once in a while. Seems like you need to plan this a year in advance.

Wickenberg and Williams AZ.

Williams you head up a few miles from town on Az 64 in the Forest 7000 ft elevation and usually much cooler to a meadow with free dispersed camping.
Off Road trails to the Grand Canyon Rim and the town of Williams.
115 in Vegas, 79F in Williams.

Scary, best of luck to your Sister buddy!

Try Big Bear shores. Private campground and I looked a few days ago had quite a bit of availability. A little more pricey but would be nice change of pace from Vegas summer....

Well that just sucks...

Shaver lake is also a great place to check out. Make reservations at Camp Edison. Spots are pretty cool, kind of like being up in Mammoth but around a lake.

Lake isnt huge but its a great place to hang out and relax.
