The location is nice, direct at the beach. The reservation system is very complicated and inaccurate. The staff is not very friendly and not realy motivated. And the laundry is not available, according to the staff it will not be repaired any time soon. The restrooms are clean. The security personal though is friendly and helpful

The spots at this campsite are very small. No shade. Hardly any space to put up a shade tent. Very warm since its all concrete. The planes overhead are very loud and they have bright lights that stay on all night. The bike trail attached and beach are beautiful. Spend the extra money and get the back row if you are coming. Then your site walks right to the beach. Outdoor sand shower and indoor shower. Staff we met were all kind. Woman's bathroom is flooded near constantly. The showers dont drain right.

Right on the beach, clean bathrooms, power and water. Safe. Those are the good things. But it is just a fancy parking lot. Spaces are small. No place for kids to play near their unit so they are running in and out of the driving lanes. Lots of yelling and screaming. The biggest thing is the noise from the airport LAX is much closer than I anticipated. Flights overhead every 10 min or so.

They told me I dont have to make a reservation because they are mostly half empty. I didn’t make reservation as I didn’t know what day I will arrive. I drove all the way from phoenix to be turned back saying that park is full. Which it wasn’t , they just didnt like my RV for whatever reason. My RV is perfectly fine, maybe little older but not like some sort of junk. They would try to come up with reasons saying things like system wouldn’t allow them and stuff like that. I came with wife and kids and didnt know where to go then. Ruined my trip and made me really upset. I hope people would understand my frustration. There were many open spots. I spent hours after looking for place to park. Stuff is just unprofessional and didnt care. Im writing this review 10 days later after I cooled my head. I read later that this is typical, they profile people which in my opinion is very discriminating. Its sad that they are allowed to treat people in such way.

Extremely disappointing experience. During our stay, the exit from the RV park was completely blocked, leaving no clear way for guests to leave. We carefully exited through the entrance at a very slow speed with our hazard lights on while another member of our party walked in front of the vehicle to ensure everything was safe. Afterward, Angela, who identified herself as the supervisor, confronted us in a very aggressive and confrontational manner. Instead of addressing the fact that the designated exit was blocked and discussing a safe solution, she informed us that because we used the entrance to exit, neither we nor anyone in our party would be allowed back into the RV park. What was most concerning was the response when we asked what guests should do in an emergency if the exit is blocked. Angela’s answer was essentially that they would “figure it out then.” For a facility responsible for the safety of families, RVs, and large vehicles, that response was alarming. The issue was not the rule itself—it was the lack of a safe alternative and the dismissive attitude toward what appeared to be a legitimate safety concern. We enjoyed the location, but the handling of this situation and the lack of concern for emergency access left a very negative impression.

If you don’t mind staying at a camp site with absolute zero communication this is the place. Beautiful views and cheap price. Laundry is broken, the gate code switches and they don’t tell you so you can spend your night circling the parking lot until you find a guard or someone to tell you the new code. Parking is absolute trash and overflow parking is “down the beach” . The sewers are at the very front of the site too so unless you have 5 hoses to connect your sewer then you lose you entire length of the site having to pull forward to have the sewer hose in. Overall this place sucks and the staff willingness to help is about -1/10 Homeless people will come in and around your site to shower and nobody is around to do anything . They write parking tickets as well so follow those parking rules super well!

We stayed at Dockweiler RV Park this week and had a great experience overall. The location truly can’t be beat. You’re right on the beach with incredible ocean views and sunsets, and it’s just minutes from El Segundo where there are tons of great shops and places to eat. Everything you need is close by, which made our stay easy and convenient. One thing to be aware of is the constant sound of planes taking off and landing from LAX. It happens all day and through the night. If you’re sensitive to noise, that’s something to consider. For us, once we got used to it, it became part of the experience. The beachfront setting, easy access, and proximity to restaurants and stores made it a memorable stay. We would definitely come back, especially for the unbeatable oceanfront location.

Please pay attention - book this RV park at your own risk. In hindsight, I should have paid attention to the more recent reviews about how this place is being ran. This place is being staffed by incompetent people at best, or scammers at worst. We arrived at the site just after 7pm hoping for a good night rest after a 6 hr non stop drive. Note that our reservation document states that the security guard would have the entry passes if we check in after 8pm (so we arrived way before this time). The security guards at the park’s main entrance and the RV park entrance just gave us a run around, asking us to go back and forth their stations , before finally declaring they couldn’t help us at all. They made us wait for other guards to come in so we stayed until 8pm before finally giving up. We ended up staying in the closest available hotel and spending >$300 because we have a dog and we had to pay parking. To be fair, the supervisor called me back a day after I called the office to raise the issue. He was apologetic and owned up to their incompetence. He agreed to refund the fees I already paid but was floored once again when he told me it usually takes 45 days for refund to be processed! Speaking of scam-like process!!!

Location is spectacular because so different from BLM / NM / NP and the standard RV parks. We immediately booked two additional nights. We used the rental bikes opposite to the campsite for exploring the area. Would definitely return. In my opinion excellent value for money.

This is an okay place to camp for a night or two if you don’t find anywhere else in LA. We pay $45 the first time for a dry site, next time we payed $55 (pretty expensive for just the space). Unfortunately we had a homeless girl sleeping right across from our site, it wasn’t a problem until she started walking around every van or RV. I called the front desk and they answered with the most lazy tone saying that if it gets worst I should call the police. If I’m paying for a private camp spot I’m not expecting to have to deal with the police or homeless people. So pretty disappointed management.

This is a beach site. We read some negative reviews about the people and the bathrooms. We decided to come anyway. The people are friendly and helpful. The bathrooms are a bit spartan but well kept. Totally acceptable. And on the plus side you are directly at the beach. The planes overhead are not so bad and at night there are very few anyway. The noise from other campers was ok. It is a beach site and on a Saturday night there are dozens of bonfires with people not from the rob park so without rules. But it’s all good fun. We would definitely return here.

It's a nice place when you have your own trailer. Just hook it up, and you're good. Met some good friends. From Poly's of Polly's restaurant upland. I've never been there. We'll check it out, though.! Him and his wife were great and family! You can meet great friends if you're a great friend.

🌴🚐 **Beachfront Bliss at Dockweiler RV Park!** 🐾🌊 Just wrapped up a relaxing 5 day stay at **Dockweiler RV Park** in Playa Del Rey—and wow, what a gem! If you're looking for an RV spot that puts you *right on the beach*, this is it. The views of the Pacific are unbeatable, and the sound of the waves makes for the perfect backdrop to unwind. 🐶 **Dog-friendly? Absolutely!** Our pups had a blast running along the clean, wide beach. It’s one of the few places where both humans and dogs can enjoy the ocean breeze together. 📶 **AT&T service was flawless**—full bars the entire time, which made remote work and streaming a breeze. 🚿 **Restrooms and showers could use a little TLC**, but they’re functional. If you’ve got your own setup in your RV, you’re golden. **A few things to note: the RV spots are quite tight, and the utilities are located in the middle of each site, which makes it less comfortable to sit outside your camper and enjoy the view. It’s not ideal for outdoor lounging, but manageable if you're mostly there for beach access. Whether you're here for a weekend escape or a longer stay, Dockweiler offers a rare combo of beach access, city convenience, and laid-back vibes. Just be ready for a airplane noise—it’s right near LAX—but honestly, the ocean makes up for it. Highly recommend for beach lovers, dog owners, and anyone who wants to camp with a view! 🌅

Amazing for the beach and the bike path. However the camp ground itself is not impressive. And the utilities are very out of place relative to the parking position of the vehicle. The staff and people are not helpful or welcoming. Everyone had an RBF they are less than helpful on the phone and a bit arrogant. Parking situation for guest vehicles difficult. The spaces are very borrow and could be cleaner. The space outdoor table was dirty and had to give it a good scrub.

Loved it here! I thought it was going to be too frenetic and out in open, but it was a really enjoyable week. So fun to be right on the beach with everyone walking past enjoying the LA weather. Met lots of great people, enjoyed the sun and the sand, watched the planes zoom overhead, had a campfire on the beach and enjoyed the walking path along the beach. Coming back for two weeks next time!
