An RV Park in Santa Barbara, need I say more? Full hook ups available, its location lends to bike paths to tour the city and beach. Yes, it is situated next to the 101, but would not deter us from coming again. We are grateful this park is here!

The location is less than 2 miles from downtown just off of the 101 freeway. There is also mass transit service just 2 blocks away from the rv park. If you are bothered by freeway noise, this may not be for you, but the park is clean with restrooms/showers and a laundry room. The people who run the park are the best, always helpful and always doing everything possible to make the park a clean place.

We had to book here because it was the only place we could find on short notice. We were pleasantly surprised with the vibe, it’s cleaner and nicer than the pictures make it look. It’s in a cute neighborhood too if you like to take walks. Nice staff and fellow travelers. Used the laundry and had it all to myself, could do a wash and dry in about an hour, bring quarters. The major issue we had was internet connection. It’s terrible and my phone doesn’t get good service here for some reason so planning our next stop wasn’t easy without a solid WiFi connection. I don’t get why it’s so bad when you’re in the middle of a city. What gives?? Just pay for better service and pass the fee along of you have to. I don’t see many reviews mentioning this so maybe it’s a rare occurrence. 🤷♀️ Overall I would stay here again. The highway noise is not even an issue in my opinion and we stayed right next to the wall separating us from the highway.

My husband and I stood here for one night and visited the Santa Barbara Zoo. The next morning we headed out to our main destination. This isn't a fancy place to stay for a long period. I feel it's more of a great place to rest on your way to your main destination if you're traveling far. Even though the spots were a little tight and you could hear the freeway it wasn't bad at all. I really liked it and would definitely come back! The property, bathrooms, showers and laundry room were very clean. The onsite attendant was always maintaining the property and was very friendly and answered any questions we had. He was great!

I love this place. The staff is great, it is super clean and everything is meticulously maintained. It is right next to the freeway so even though there is a sound barrier it can still be loud (that's why I gave 4 stars instead of five for the location). A close bike ride to downtown Santa Barbara).
