I arrived after 8pm for a quick 12 hour overnight. The owners were there & wrote down my credit card information, assigned me a spot (I did not get to choose the spot) & told me to meet them at 8am when the store opens to process my payment. Store was not open @ 8am despite the sign & owners stating it would be open. I had to leave by 8, but I stayed until 8:40am hoping to complete my payment. No one showed up so I left a voice message for the owner to call me. Ashton (employee) called me, & I authorized the $75 payment over the phone. To my surprise, the next day I noticed an unauthorized additional (separate) charge on my credit card of $45. They kept my card # & charged additional funds without my authorization!!! Subsequently I had 4 other random high dollar charges to online stores. Luckily my American Express stopped the charges as FRAUD!!!!!!! The $45 was also verified as unauthorized & stopped by AMX. Other than FRAUD, the grounds & facilities are dirty, unkept & has electrical problems. There’s a train that ran multiple times through the night which kept waking me up. There is NO CELL SIGNAL at this site! They have WiFi, which worked for me but the owner warned me “it might not work”. Needless to say, do not stay here! I’d rather stay at a WalMart parking lot. ***ETA reply to your reply. LA RV Resort: Several false statements you made below! The OWNERS were the people who checked me in! You know that. Red flag was that the owners (drive a BMW) were talking to a Sherriff/police officer when I pulled in. The credit card company has completed their investigation & closed it as I stated above. The charges were reversed & you were not paid more than $75. To be clear, fact is I spoke w Ashton & Charlotte in the morning who I gave authorization to charge $75 for the spot. The additional $45 was NOT authorized by me & run through sometime after I got off the phone—proven by CC company AND you admitted in writing below you charged it AFTER the phone call! lol. Only way you could have done that is if you wrote down all my cc information & kept it! Which explains the hundred of dollars of fraud charges in the days following. I called as soon as I saw the unauthorized $45, & Ashton told me that shouldn’t have happened & she’d talk to the owner & call me back. She never called me back. I did speak w the security guard that night, but only because he stopped by to make sure my electricity was working because there was a power issue w your bathroom facilities. Security guard didn’t say anything about RV spot fees—just told me to talk to the “girls in the morning”. You just made things a whole lot worse—outright lying! Lol. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

Cost was $120. For one night. No cell svc. Their WiFi would not connect. Flies were terrible. Ants were terrible. Dogs barking was my only enjoyment. As a working general contractor this place would be impossible to manage your work from. Oh and the place needs to complete what ever maintenance they are doing. Looks like a war zone.

A great place to stop as a thru hiker! Very accessible from trail. They have a great selection of food and drinks at a good price. Got a bunk to share with 6 people for $35 including shower. Laundry was cheap and easy too. Thank you!

Came here as a PCT hiker. While it was a good break from the sun, the prices charged are an absolute rip off. The camping options are horrible, and it is clear this business is capitalizing off of hikers needing a break from the sun. The staff was friendly and that is the only reason this review is not one star.

I recently stayed for 3 nights. I dealt with Charlotte to begin with, and Ashton in the office, everyone I had contact with was more than helpful with anything I needed. It was quiet and peaceful. I would definitely recommend staying here even if you just have one night. I am anxious to go back. Thank you everyone at LA RV for a pleasant stay.
