Beautiful water, and nice front desk... but the resort absolutely needs some major renovation, upgrades and basic road, pothole and camp site repairs

This resort was outstanding. The staff was friendly and helpful. The check in was easy. The resort was clean and well kept. Our family had a wonderful weekend.

Great place for parties, terrible place for anything else. I read the good reviews, so we must have picked a bad weekend. There were a few very large groups having parties and spilling into common areas, roads and surrounding campsites. We were next to a group of 5 RVs that invited all their friends to the weekend long party. There were at least 30 adults, plus cars, kids, bikes, golf carts and a powerful sound system. They had zero sense of boundaries or the other campers around them. We called the rangers a couple of times because the music was so loud we couldn’t even hear our own TV inside. They tole me “this is a beach resort, not a library.” If you’re thinking of staying here, you should know this is the policy.

UPDATE 5/11/2024 - UNNECESSARY MOVE! The RV resort told us we had to move because someone else reserved the site we were on. I called numerous times to confirm with the front office that the new tenants were still coming. We have been staying long term since September 2023 in the same lot. Now they tell us we have to move because someone else is going to be staying on our site! WHY MAKE SOMEONE STAYING LONG TERM IN THE SAME SPOT MOVE??! And guess where they had us move???! TWO SITES DOWN!!!! Why not take the time to offer that site to the new tenants? I’m sure they would’ve taken it. Instead we had to pack up all our stuff and move TWO SITES DOWN!!! And to make things worse, GUESS WHAT?!!! YES, THE NEW TENANTS NEVER EVEN SHOWED UP!!!! Good job Mission Bay RV Resort! 👏🏽 Another disappointing experience which brings our experience down to ⭐️⭐️. The front office needs help!!! ————————- The resort is a pleasant stay with good amenities. Amenities include laundry facilities, rec room, pool, and jacuzzi. The grounds are in a decent shape. Their security in my opinion could use some help. Since I have been staying here there has been a number of bikes stolen, even while chained! The security guard my girlfriend reported the incident to, did not care and was actually rude to her. Appearance- the campground is decent in appearance but definitely not the best kept. The groundkeepers do their best but I think they are also undermanned. There’s a lot of property space around the campgrounds that are unkept. This may be due to the city owning it or not but either way it’s an eyesore. Front Office - definitely needs help! Every time I go to the office or speak to them over the phone it honestly seems like they don’t know what they’re doing or at the least not all on the same page. This is not just my opinion but the opinion of A LOT of tenants here. They also pick and choose who rules apply to, which is not fair. If I have to leave for 24 hrs because of the 89 day rules then everyone should leave for 24hrs. I will say some employees in the front office are nice and others are rude specifically John! I’ve had to deal with him a handful times and each time he is other than friendly or acts like he is being bothered to do his job. I tried to explain an issue we had with situation and he cut me off and said “sir you can argue with me all you want, it’s not going to change anything!” I was simply passing information to him. If I was running that office I would do a complete overhaul of how business is ran, starting with customer service!!! People who go to the resort are on vacation and are looking for a good time not to be treated awful. I expressed my concerns to management and they were very receptive but I can only assume it was addressed but the change and the word of mouth of the tenants will be the proof. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up of what you will be dealing with if you stay here. This is my honest opinion on the RV resort based off my experience.

This was our 2nd stay at Mission Bay RV Resort. We enjoyed our stay both times. The new shower house was wonderful to use. We stayed in the part that has dirt sites because they are wider apart. It is a great location to everything you want to do in San Diego. We will visit again. Photos show views from the campground.

Very bad experience. we couldn't reserve online for the same day so we called several times well before 5pm but no one answered. When we arrived at the campsite at 1730, there was a telephone number for rangers: we called this number several times but no answer. We were tired from the trip and have two small children, so we looked for an empty spot with the idea of reporting ourselves the next day. The next morning we are 'escorted' by security to the reception and treated as if we were criminals. What should we have done then? Not friendly or hospitable at all and also far too expensive for what they offer.

We spent a week at this RV resort and everything was great. Bathrooms and showers were cleaned at least twice a day. The staff was great we checked out a day early and they refunded us one day. The price was a bit high but you know what they say location, location, location . The location is very beautiful and so is the area around it. If we make it back there again we would stay at the same location.

Honestly I was skeptical because of the parking lot feeling reviews but I have been here since September and I’ve never been to a better park. The staff the security the maintenance every one here is above expectations. The water is on three sides and it’s in the best part of San Diego. All the other parks here are right on noisy freeways and away from the water and the staff is well, they are typical to California…... If you want a family friendly stay choose this place. They are good at keeping the rift raft out so if that’s your thing camp land would be better for ya. Same friendly staff and atmosphere just with a more party friendly vibe. I wouldn’t recommend any of the other parks in the county and I’ve stayed at them all :)

Just spent two nights at this RV resort. My family and I had an amazing time at this resort it was so nice and clean. The restrooms were so amazing they were like a hotel resort. My kids had a good time riding their bikes. It was nice and quiet and the staff is very nice. Looking forward to coming back next spring break.

Amazing place! Pool and game house super clean. The showers are super clean. The pool and hot tub are both heated it was so perfect for our young children. Staff were super nice and for the price you can’t beat it! Full hook ups at every spot and the spots are large . Beach is nice and clean. Will definitely be coming back. Only thing is if you want food you have to walk to campland and it’s not close, would be nice if you could rent scooters or golf carts to go there.

Once again, the pool and jacuzzi are cold and once again, it's a weekend, which means it will be down for another week. It's a lovely resort that has basically one amenity. Raising prices makes sense, but not when they continue to not check the one amenity throughout the day to make sure it's in tip top shape. It starts to feel like the thermostat is adjusted to save money, because why would you advertise everywhere about this amazing pool they put in and refurbished, but not make it a number one priority? No one takes responsibility? Just know you may get a cold jacuzzi and pool when you arrive, and the response will be, "you can go to campland?" So why doesn't the people who maintain camplands pool also maintain mission bay? Because their pool is always running?

Added new spots, has pool & jacuzzi now. Near the bay, great views. One of the beyt RV spots in S. Cal.

This RV park is in a great place, right by the water. Spots are clean and enough room for 2 cars. The facility has very nice people working in the office. Karina and Cinthia are both extra super helpful and professional, I stopped by the office to get info about a reservation and they went above and beyond to help me with my needs. We are really pleased with how great this place is, and enjoying our time in this park. The rangers and staff work hard to keep this place clean and safe, Mr Juan is awesome !!!

Great location and our space was very spacious. Had rain and our spot turned into a lake. Poor drainage and no gravel or concrete slabs. Which resulted in a muddy mess. It’s unfortunate they’re investing very little in this park and charging fees for a first rate rv park. Won’t stay there again unless they upgrade.

I stayed here for one month Nov 2023-Dec 2023. Here is everything you need to know. Nancy is the only person who works here who knows what going on. If you stay for over a month, you get taxes back but only if the guy at the front desk is working that day and feels like doing it. If hes not in, it doesnt get done (his words). I had to sign my life away to stay here for the one month and while the guy was taking copies of my ID, he printed it to a printer "somewhere at campland". They are extremely unorganized. I extended my stay by 2 nights a week before I was supposed to leave. On my original departure date, the guy at the front desk called me at 11:59 (checkout is 12) and asks me why we arent leaving yet since check out is today. I have to remind that I am staying an extra two nights. They have a book full of rules that you must follow but then security decides that day which ones are enforced and which ones aren't. There are signs everywhere saying no ebikes or scooters in the park but they are everywhere. Kids zooming around on electric dirt bikes. I rinsed off my paddle-board one day after the beach and was told no washing allowed on the grounds. Then for the next 2 weeks of my stay, someone was washing their vehicles and trailers everyday and nobody said anything. We decided to wash our truck since everyone else was doing it and was never told it wasnt ok again. I had a clothes line up for 3 weeks. Did laundry every single week and I was right beside the ranger station so they saw me doing it, during my last week they told me someone complained about it so I had to take it down. They have pickle ball courts, when I asked the games room person for rackets, they said the court wasnt on their property and they dont have any rackets. The court is right beside the laundry room so it is on their property. Every single day they were out there with leaf blowers blowing around dirt, stones, etc. My paddle board was behind my trailer, in my back in site where the back of my site was a fence. It was sitting there for 2 weeks during my stay, everytime I went to use it was covered it dirt and dust from them blowing it around. The inside of my trailer got dust everywhere since I like to have my windows open. Truck & trailer also covered in dirt from this. It is really inconsiderate to be blowing this stuff at peoples belongings everyday while they are here. It was really frustrating to have all these rules they make you sign off on following but then day to day what you can do is different. The spot is really nice, they have a long path that follows the bay. Some of the sites are bigger than others, I was happy with the site we got. This is not a bad place to stay, you will probably enjoy your time here but it is just frustrating when nobody knows what they are doing.
