San Diego RV Resort

This is a trailer park with residence trailers and lots of dogs that take preference to the much higher paying and caring travelers. The site i pulled into was full of dog poop and when i complained they could not care. Do NOT ask the typical trailer park resident with lots of dogs who is smoking cigarets and meth to pick up their dogs poop. Be glad you don’t get pummeled by the probationary residents. Just take the smell and never return. The false reviews and nice pictures will make sure other suckers will arrive with stupid dollars like i did. It is next to the green line. Which would be nice if you didn’t have to hold your breath and watch your wallet as you passed by Martha and her barking dog to get to the bum riding train. Lock your valuables at home. I am paying it forward by advising good law abiding citizens to stay away. If you want a good deal on illicit drugs, this is your place.

This park is easy to get in and out of, but it is very expensive. The worse thing is that WiFi is NOT free. Even, if you want to pay it does not work. Support said oh, well. There are no picnic tables and the place is stark. It has a laundry, but half of the machines did not work. It is next to the trolley which is great.

This place was very clean. The space was nicely paved with palm trees and grass. The staff was friendly. The pool was amazing and they even had a small gym! :) We went to the zoo while we stayed here — and there’s access to the public tram in the back of the rv park (you go out a little gate and you’re there!) — very convenient. The only con with this park is that it was right off the freeway and you can hear the freeway traffic ²⁴⁄₇ which was a bit distracting.

Loud! You’d think that being 50feet from the 8 freeway they would have a sound barrier! They have a pool, clean bathrooms, and laundry facilities. The park is clean. Staff is nice. The spots are very narrow and in between tall Palm trees. I’d give this a better rating, however, if it was not so close to the very busy 8 freeway. Motorcycles, trucks and loud cars not to mention tire noise! At 65 per night it is typical California. Very high priced for the value. At twenty dollars per night I’d still have to think real hard about staying here,
Love California. Unfortunately the politicians have ruined the state. Everything is just too damned high! Of course they need to take money from those who have to give to those who don’t to keep their power.

The only thing nice about this park is the trolly convience. We stayed here from 28^th of july through aug .2 …The pool I s nice and the confrence rm was nice. The showere however were nasty. .very disappointed for the price. Our coach was full of ants every day. Could not get rid of them. wanted to leave one day early because of it but they have a policy that if you dont complete your stay there are no refunds. Even when I gave them 2 day notice I wanted to cancel last day. Each site is small and not really very nice. The ants got really tiresome .Do not recomend this resort. Next time we will try santee its just further out on tbe green line.

We have stayed here twice and love it. Convenient to all of San Diego area. Very close to I-​8 so there is some freeway noise. All sites have a generous concrete patio. Great facilities.

I am happy they could accommodate me with only a weeks notice for the 4^th of July weekend. Upon arrival, a new employee pointed out our location on the map and said «go to the end of the road and make a hard left. That was a dead end and NOT where my site was. They had to open an alternate gate so I could get out. After pulling back in I turned right. The site was toward the end and incredibly small for a 32 ft. Rig. The neighbors and their visitors kindly moved their vehicles which blocked the road. After getting in my spot I explored a bit. Majority of visitors are permanent residents. The trailers and motor-​homes were filthy with all kinds of clothes hanging on them. The roads are narrow and most dead end. Bathrooms were very dirty and in need of repair. Pool was very dirty full of dead bugs and spa was out of order with maintenance saying they have to order the parts. This spot was not expensive and did accomodate me in a pinch which I appreciate. But this isn’t the getaway park for me. I noted several comments complaining about the freeway noise, I did notice it but not like the park can move the freeway lol. I will only be back if its the only option.

We have been here about 9 months now and have hardly anything worthwhile to complain about. The staff is friendly and helpful, it is a great atmosphere! The community events I have been able to attend are fun and a nice way to meet some neighbors. When I was looking for a park, out of all the ones in San Diego this was my first choice. Their maintenance and cleanliness you can tell is a priority which I think everyone can appreciate. The people that have complained about it being next to the freeway should also realize that is one of the conveniences of this place as well. Yes, there is a steady flow of cars driving by but I would not call it completely disturbing. Although this is a safe place I have heard of a few outdoor items that were stolen, so use good judgement and you will be fine!

This park is so LOUD! Right next to the freeway. We were put in the area with permanent trailers and lots of junk. It was very hot and humid and the ice machine was broken. They said it was broken for a week. I paid for 2 nights and left after one. It was the labor day weekend and I didnt expect money back. When I went to the office to return the key a girl yelled out to the guy «she will not get money back». I knew this. I turned my key in early as i was not going back. They still charged me $ 25 on my VISA for a non return of the key. They did refund my money after I called. I wrote to them on an email and no response. The only good thing is the metro is very close.

I arrived in San Diego riding the last throws of a large all consuming need to move on and into a new locale, gypsy style. Needless to say after hours of driving my blunderbus I arrived in San Diego only to find that getting into an RV park wasn’t going to be easy. Two people, two large dogs…
We stopped in what felt like a million different places. Each one wanted us to jump through fiery hoops, sign paperwork, releases, mandated dog interviews, back ground checks etc etc. I’m thinking come on people, I have money in my hand, and I want to give it to you, why are you making it so hard!!! Then as a last resort, or rather our last stop before hitting the streets, we pulled into the San Diego RV Resort in La Mesa.
At first I was dubious, I didn’t think that such nice digs would want our older, though not bad looking, RV, our two large odorous mutts, my Fiancé and myself, our two cars and unlimited supply of surfboards to drape in, on and around every inch of our personal space. Plus this place looked super clean, manicured lawns, pretty, well kept flowers, a hot tub, pool, pool table, ping pong, media rooms, work out rooms, this place was the ritz as far as I was concerned.
So… «How much?» «650.00» the lovely lady replied. Which is a good amount of money, but after all the parks I saw, I thought heck, can’t get much better than this. Then the next issue I was about to bring up were the dogs. Other than needing a 30 dollar a month fee per animal, they didn’t need to meet the dogs, didn’t need any excessive hooplah. All in all, the entire process took 10 minutes and we were off scouting looking for our new patch of concrete to call home.
Over the next five months I got to know the folks who work here. I’m always bad with names, so forgive me on that account, but I will never forget the faces here, and I might remember a name or two. All of the workers here are extremely pleasant folk who have created positive relationships with all the long-​termers here as well as providing for a cheerful presence for the newbies rolling into the park every night. I can’t say that they became like family, but every day that I would come and go from the park, walk back and forth from the pool or BBQing in the front I genuinely enjoyed all of our conversations. These guys are hard workers, with nothing but the biggest smiles and genuinely seem to have the «stoke».
The front office was there to see me through the hard times, letting me pay the rest of my rent just a midge later in the week. They were willing to work with my situation, and I am genuinely grateful. Thank you all for helping me, and also helping get rid of some stress! Everyone that works in the office are genuinely awesome folk. Their human and they treat you similarly! Sincere and kind, they will help you and make sure you understand what is going on and that you will have a happy stay at the RV park. Oh and thank you night security guards for keeping us all safe and sound!
Now I am leaving, and honestly I am kinda bummed. Thanks Ricardo for being such a great guy! I genuinely enjoyed our chats as we both roved around the Park. Thanks awesome manager lady (remember I’m bad at names!!) you were always positive and wiling to make things right. Awesome front counter dude! Always a pleasure coming up to the desk and checking in, enjoyed our conversations, I wish you the best! Oh and thank you guys for being so kind and picking up the rest of my trash (I sold my RV and gutted it), means the world to me!!!
Alright the people aspect aside, my space was also awesome. Well kept concrete slab, with large oleander bushes for privacy, plenty of room to park. Easy access to everything. Did I mention the train station is right next to the park??? Simply walk to the end of the park (8 west) don’t forget your electronic key, and go hop on the train, go to little italy and have pizza. Just don’t forget to buy a top up card to pay for your fair, especially at night, the ticket checker dude came on one night and gave a good dozen folks tickets.
Great location, great staff, it’s mellow here and close to everything. Oh and by the way, I am a real person recounting a real experience. If you like positive experiences, awesome people, then this is your place!!!
You guys rock! Thanks for all the wonderful memories!
Sincerely,
Space #25

We stayed here 2 nights but will not stay again. Very noisy freeway traffic, high priced for what you get, & small sites. We were in a 33′ 5^th wheel with 3 slideouts. Even tho’ the website said we needed a ‘premium’ site they ‘graciously’ upgraded us to a ‘premium plus’ site at the same price to give us more room. We could hardly get our 5^th wheel backed into it ! The angle of the site was opposite to what it needed to be but we couldn’t circle the block to be angled the correct way because most of the streets are dead ends ! We backed up to a trash filled creek & swampy area that looked like a health concern so we didn’t sit outside. Lots of permanent residents & a ‘trailer trash’ atmosphere. We couldn’t wait to get out of here, I don’t know why this is called a ‘resort’.

So in complete disclosure, we didn’t actually stay here (since we live in the area) but we did use our RV to create a «guest house» for our friends that were coming to stay for a week. They have 2 children and wanted some privacy so we set up the Alfa and gave them their own home for 10 days.
They LOVED the site. It was clean, had all amenities and the long term neighbors were friendly and a hoot. Yes there is freeway noise when you sit outside, but honestly you forget it after a while. It is right off of Highway 8 and it’s easy to get anywhere in SD in 15 minutes from here.
Will definitely use this again in the future for guests who are coming to visit us for an extended stay.

We have stayed at this park every spring and each fall for the last 12 years. The location is great for traveling around San Diego County. the traffic on I-​8 is a concern but we find with windows and door closed it is not an issue for us. We are now staying for 7 months. The staff has always been kind and they help set us up as we are both handicapped. This is an older park but very will kept and the neighbors are very considerate and friendly. There are other parks in the San Diego area but for us this park fits all our needs.

Great Location if you’re deaf. Since it’s right next to the freeway. the noise level never goes away. lwaited for 45 minutes and gave up.

When I first arrived, I pulled in front of the registration office, went inside and got all my paperwork done. The clerk then pointed to my RV site on the map. To get to it, he said that I would have to exit the RV Resort, pull out onto the main road, then wait for him to open the gate to the row where my site was located. I unhooked my tow vehicle in front of the office and then did as he instructed. While on the main road, which is a two way road, i turned on my blinkers so that the cars behind me knew that I was trying to turn into the RV resort (once the gate was opened for me). Since i had to wait for 5 – 10 minutes until he opened the gate, cars either carefully passed me or i was honked at. This doesn’t seem like the most efficient check-​in process.
After I settled in, I was deciding whether to set out my chairs. Since the noise from the freeway was so loud, I decide that I didn’t want to be subjected to the noise pollution. During my check-​in process, I requested a site furthest from the freeway and this was the best that they could do. The reality is, no matter where you are, the noise will be loud.
There are also a lot of full-​timers or long-​term RV’ers here. Possibly more than half the sites are devoted to them. As a result, they seem to feel that they have more rights than us weekenders. My parking spot was occupied by the RVer’s truck next to me. They told me I could take their spot which was on the road, instead of next to my RV. I also had another neighboring RV’er that had his satellite dish set up on my patio area. There were clothes lines full of laundry and awnings with clothes drying on hangers. The trash bins were also overflowing until 11am. This place felt so trailer-​park-​trash-​like.
I’ll never be back to this place again.
