It's hard to rate this camp ground. The staff are friendly, there are A LOT of activities to keep yourself occupied from the beach, to games, to water sport rentals. The location is subjective so I left it blank. I prefer camping and campgrounds in nature, this one is in the suburbs surrounded by homes, condos, and commercial establishments just outside the front gate. If your idea of camping is setting up in a big parking lot then this is the camp ground for you. With all the additional activities this camp ground offers you won't be bored.

Campland offers free parking and coastal access to non-guests. Obtain a pass and guidelines at the entry booth and adhere to the rules. There is a public restroom adjacent the beach. This is a great place to enjoy the bay in a safe, family-friendly atmosphere.

The campground is huge, the spots are right on top of each other and a bit small but everything worked out great for me. My neighbors were great so it worked out fine. If your neighbors aren't so great you may not enjoy yourself but that's the luck of the draw. The campground is well maintained, the bathrooms and showers were super clean and showers are free. The beach on the bay was very nice and relaxing, the bay water was clean. Just a heads up, quite hours are from 11pm to 8am, everyone is having a good time all the way up to 11 so if your early to bed you may have a hard time getting and staying asleep. I had a great time and will be back for sure.

I recently stayed at Campland by the Bay and had a great overall experience. The location right on Mission Bay is hard to beat—whether you’re camping, RVing, or just spending the day, the views and access to the water make it special. There are plenty of family-friendly activities, from bike rentals and water sports to playgrounds and organized events. The marina access and beach area add a nice touch if you want to get out on the water. The atmosphere is lively and fun, especially on weekends. Between live music, outdoor games, and the general buzz of families enjoying themselves, it feels more like a little community than just a campground. That being said, if you’re looking for a quiet, secluded getaway, this may not be the best fit—it’s more about energy, activity, and socializing. The facilities are well-kept with clean bathrooms, showers, and laundry areas. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and check-in/check-out was smooth. Food and drinks are available on site, but it’s also just a short drive to plenty of options in San Diego. Overall, Campland by the Bay is a fun, vibrant place to stay, especially for families and groups looking for both convenience and entertainment. I’d definitely recommend it and look forward to returning.

Love Love Love this place. This was our second time staying at Campland on the Bay. We will continue to stay here in the future. The facility is very clean. Enjoyed listening to the bands, riding our bikes, Playing on the beach and enjoying the hot tub. Walker helped us With finding a new spot because the one we chose was next to a dumpster. He was so kind, and his laughter was infectious. Perfect person to have welcoming guest. I hope he is there every time to welcome us.

Campland on the Bay is a wonderful camp 🏕 by the beach ⛱️. Outstanding location. We had a great time enjoying the sand, pool, jacuzzi, and all the fun activities available at a walking distance on site. We loved all the amenities such as restaurant/bar, drinks 🍸, fireworks 🎆 , and beautiful views during our morning and evening walks. This camp has a basketball court 🏀, skateboarding 🛹 area, children's activities/games, volleyball on the beach, and more. The children safely rode their bikes. Respectful and family oriented campers. We met a nice family parked by us and became friends. We shared meals together, played cards, shared family stories, and had great laughs by the fire pit. This is a perfect camp to enjoy with friends and family. The bathrooms and showers are kept clean. The showers have a door for privacy with a bench inside with enough room to put your items away from the wet floor. We look forward to camping here again. Thank you 😊

I'm a San Diego local, but...Attended Mission Bay Vintage Trailer Rally at Campland...it is FAB! Has a store, a restaurant(good cheeseburgers!), a bar, live music, a couple of pools, a beach... so much to do! The electricity hookup worked well. The bathrooms(with showers, too) are nice and clean. There are security folks around, but I felt perfectly safe. Great place!

This place has gone down hill immensely. New ownership and management are pathetic and trashy. The only thing they care to enforce is stopping kids having fun and enjoying their vacations. However they don’t care about all the filthy trash, smoking marijuana and blowing smoke all over other campers and campsites. I would not recommend anyone visiting here untill this place gets it together and starts enforcing common sense not allowing your guest to fill the campsites with marijuana smoke that blows all over your kids.

I haven’t stopped talking about Campland on the Bay since we got home! From beginning to end, it was a great experience for us first-timers. Backing into our spot was easy, the entire park is super dog friendly, the Cantina has great food and drinks, pools were heated, made friends in the hot tub. Had lunch on the beach, met so many nice people, seems to be tons of activities for kids. What I love the most is the sense of community at Campland, since several campers stay long-term. 10/10 would recommend! We will give going back.

I was impressed with the facilities, cleanliness, staff, everything. Daily activities were really fun (pickle ball, yoga, crafts, etc.). The bicycle path is amazing, you can see the entirety of Mission Bay and more. What a great stay cation for someone from Imperial Beach. My new local camp spot

We stayed here for two nights and were relieved to leave. Great location right on the bay, and the staff was very friendly... but this place had kids EVERYWHERE. Running, screaming, zooming in front of cars, etc. It was noisy until well after 11:00.pm. The lots are small and close together with dolls, broken scooters, bikes, kayaks, clothes, shoes, and towels everywhere. Our rig was hit twice with wiffle balls, and once by a softball. I don't mind kids but this was awful. There are better places to relax in San Diego.

This place has it all, seriously, everything you need for an awesome vacation. So many on site activities it makes it difficult to leave and go explore. Staff is amazing, helpful at every turn. Would definitely come back here.

Great campground! Seems as though people stay here long-term, or as long term is they're able. Everyone is friends and super neighborly. Seems as though privacy might be an issue but if you're not doing anything wrong who cares right?! Everyone just rides their beach cruisers around as everything you could possibly need as just a short pedal away. They have a ice cream shop a concert stage and they are right smack dab on the water. Photo ops a-plenty &a smiling face no matter which direction you look. Will be back most certainly.

Location location location. Factoid. Great camp location in Pacific Beach. A huge plus Factoid. Location within camp grounds. You can get easily get screwed depending on the location. You have your loud weekenders boozing it up with pit fires mire feet’s from your room. Amenities great. Place Ed kept clean all times. Pier that jets out for fishing a big plus Nice big stage Nice lawn. Fantastic beach. Small for the park. It has killer views.
