Southern CA Campgrounds ?
We are looking for a place to meet the folks on the way south this year. Maybe in Chula Vista or San Diego area. We need to find one with hotel rooms
or cabin with baths or kitchenettes. Somewhere we can camp and they can also stay, maybe with a pool and park-like surroundings ??
Maybe I'm asking for too much ?
Anyone have any suggestions ??
Thanks

Best I can think of is the San Diego KOA. 20 min from downtown San Diego, 8 min from the border, has RV sites, tenting and 1 & 2 bedroom panabode cabins. Heated pool
& big hot tub. We stay there often.

A couple of campgrounds/RV parks on 94 between San Diego and Tecate. Never stayed there but they look nice. You guys could hook up there and then
cross at Tecate.

Unfortunately the San Diego Koa and Potrero County Park don't have cabins or rooms with baths which are needed for the old folks. Last resort will be
a hotel near an RV Park or campground.

Vagabond Inn.... "E" and Broadway, Chula Vista. 4 or 5 miles from the KOA. Tell them you live in Baja for a discount. 50 bucks per night. I've
stayed there a lot.

If it's Campland, I hope you like hoards of pre-teens on skateboards and BMX bikes, cause they will be there on the weekends. OK mid-week, since
school has started.

Yikes !!
$91 per night for camping and $200 for a cabin at Newport !!
Too rich for my blood !
Campland is too ..... for us.
So far it looks like the KOA with the older folks staying at a nearby Marriott.
And they think the Marriott is "roughing it" !

If you are near a bookstore, cruise in and check out "California Camping" by Tom Stienstra. I've found the California and Northwest editions to be
very helpful. The Baja one was not that helpful IMO.
The book gives reviews of campgrounds (1-10), directions, descriptions, and list services available.
It might help. I'd look though my copy and give you advice; but, it's currently lent to a friend.

Might be a little too far north, but if youre considering Newport, how about Doheny State Beach in Dana Point. Close by on coast hwy (within 1- 2
miles from the park) are several decent hotels with pools overlooking the ocean.

How about San Clemente State Beach and check grandma and grandpa into the Riveria Motel?
Seriously though, Doheny is not a bad option but it books up well in advance unless you can do mid-week.
