On one of my stays I did hear the loud music from the hotel - but I was able to deal with that.

What's the best RV spot in Huntington Beach. Amazing views. Homeless population decreased. Close proximity to countless restaurants and shopping. No car needed. Love this place!

It is basically a parking lot with stable 20/30/50 amp service and water. There is free access to one dump site for the 50 sites. The back-in sites are limited to 30' RV lengths and are the closest to the beach while the pull-thru sites are limited to 50' and are in the center of the lot. There is additional parking for toads and additional guests. Maybe it was just our luck, but we had no issues... It is basically a parking lot with stable 20/30/50 amp service and water.

Maybe it was just our luck, but we had no issues with homeless, just be mindful of the e-bikes and scooters, they don't seem to adhere to the posted speed limit or other rules. We camped at Huntington Beach RV Campground in a 25' Class C Motorhome.

Perfect location and just as advertised on their website. Water and Electric Only - No sewer. The dump station is located at the end of the park and was easy to get to. I was located in the back in spots against the boardwalk. Lots of activity and noise, so make sure you like to be part of the action or choose another spot. You can't beat the views and environment. Took bikes to all Huntington Bea... Perfect location and just as advertised on their website. Water and Electric Only - No sewer.

The location, right at the beach just across from a bike/walking path could not be any better. The spaces are roomy, wider than most. You are basically in a parking lot, one with water and power. No dump at your site is why I did not offer up 5 stars. Over the weekend, it was busy here, but during the week, not so much. All day long you’ll see people running, walking or riding along the path.... The location, right at the beach just across from a bike/walking path could not be any better.

Close, very close by are grassy areas where you can take your dog. They do not supply dog pick up bags so bring your own. Plenty of garbage cans located throughout the park. There is a public bathroom near the park, one with toilets only, but we did not use them. Easy walk across the PCH to the downtown area to do a bit of “tourist” type shopping and plenty of places to find a bite to eat. We sleep with a small fan running at night (white noise) which made it easy to get a good nights rest. We are here currently, early February. I definitely recommend this rv park.
