So, you want to plan a California RV trip. This will help guarantee you a spot. But, for this trip, we rented an RV from Cruise America. The trip works either way. We did this route in February, which was a beautiful time of year for a California RV trip. You can see photos and watch videos of people driving along the Pacific Coast Highway. This is an RV resort with all the works. Full RV hookups with propane fire pits and picnic tables, WiFi, cable, swimming pool, hot tub, fitness center, dog park, playground for both kids and adults , and scheduled activities for kids like arts and crafts.
Prices vary slightly during high and low seasons. You can upgrade your site to deluxe, pull-through, premium, or elite for an additional cost. The pricing does fluctuate depending on availability. As spots fill up in the RV parks, rates increase. I recommend getting some takeout at one of the restaurants along the strip and heading to the beach for a sunset picnic.
Dockweiler RV Park is located on the beach and has basic amenities such as showers, washrooms, and laundry. You could spend months and months and never run out of things to do. But, for the sake of time, some highlights and free things to do in the area include: hiking to the Hollywood sign well, a view where you can get a photo , walking down Venice Beach or West Hollywood, and spending the day at the beach.
There are SO many incredible restaurants nearby. NOTE: All reservations for Dockweiler must be made in advance, with an arrival date that is a maximum of 90 days in advance of the booking date. Where to stay: Malibu RV Park. This RV park is beautiful but fills up fast and is on the higher end of the price scale. If you have a couple of extra days for this trip, this is a fantastic spot to stay.
Rates vary here throughout the season. During the high season late May through mid-September , these prices more than double per night. Where to stay: Sun Outdoors Santa Barbara 2 nights. Each site also includes a picnic table, a fire pit, a half-moon grill for outdoor cooking, and cable and WiFi.
