This is a smaller RV park. The spaces are not tight. But what is tight is the drive that leads to your site. You bet you better be good at maneuvering your rig in tight areas. Big thanks to the grounds keeper for asking the people across from us to move there car so we can make the 90 degree turn to back up our trailer. Hook ups worked just fine. No issues there. Paved RV spots and near mission bay and La Jolla. But probably the best part of this place is that they don’t make you reserve 3 nights on holidays like the others.

The park was OK at best. The sites are very cramped and situated between a noisy highway and a very active railroad. Some sites are cracked and uneven. The ants are relentless. We had our bicycles stolen one night, and a few weeks later had some shady character going door to door asking for gasoline (claiming he broke down on the highway). This park would benefit greatly with the installation of a gate and a taller sound barrier along the front. On a positive note, the park had very clean facilities, a nice hot tub, clean gym, and a great game room. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. With a few renovations, this could be a great resort.

On one side the freeway is right in front and trains right in back. There is no grass at the sites or at least most of them. Jacuzzi had no filter installed and pump wasn't running. The jacuzzi was full of hair and other nasty stuff. Pool was dirty as well. Hook ups were so far back our drain tube wouldn't reach. And no spare car parking of any sort. But people were nice. They have some cool amenities in the main building. And location is no far from the ocean which is nice.

We had a reservation months ahead of time. We arrived at 7 PM after driving 15 hours only to find our assigned space occupied. With no one to help us. This left us temporarily homeless with children 1200 miles from home. We called every phone number on our paperwork and emailed several addresses. 2 days later we finally received a phone call. No offer to reimburse us for our troubles. We will never stay there.

Great place to park for the family. Management is doing a great job. Blair and Alyssa are very friendly and welcoming. Park looks great and the dog run is bitchin! We will return.

Fantastic LGBT-friendly RV park! Hot tub, pool, and other services kept clean. Lovely staff and guests. Well behaved children. Only down side is that the wifi only works near the office.

Great dog area, laundry was a bit weird; had to have a smart card and they load money onto it and use that in the washers and dryers. But a long timer loaned me her card and I gave her my laundry money. Thank u space B22.

We stayed here for 5 days, and were not happy at all with the amount that we had to pay. ||They situated us next to the dumpster, which is what it is. A site is a site. When you sit at the picnic table, you’re sitting beside the neighbours sewer which isn’t nice to smell when you are trying to relax. ||The street light that was on our site was broken, and the shards were all over the place. The sites are not cleaned at all. Dead leaves, garbage and really uneven no matter where you are. All of the sites parking pavement was heaving and disheveled.||Our plug in for the trailer was being held up with a few rocks and a brick. (Presumably because people would back into it and hit it) and our site wasn’t the only one with that issue. Our neighbours had their cable for TV hooked up to our site, I’m assuming because they didn’t have one or it was broken. ||There is no security at night, so people can come and go, even if they aren’t part of the RV park. ||They gave us incorrect codes for the bathrooms, and every time we’d go to the office they were on a break, or having lunch or closed. Extremely frustrating when all you want at the end of the day is a hot shower. The long term tenants sites had stuff everywhere and looked very poorly. ||When we left, I went to the office to try and talk to the staff about getting some of our money back, and of course it had a sign up saying they weren’t open yet when the hours sign said that they should of been open. ||We will not be back here, and I hope that they clean this place up a bit for the sake of all the other people who are going to stay here.

Very centrally located to downtown San Diego. Nice park with good amenities. Located between Hwy 5 and a train track, so the noise level is pretty high. Lots of kids to play with.

I have been at Santa Fe Park for 3 months now and my experience has been very positive. The staff has always been available and helpful, Blair, George and whoever is on staff. I would like to thank you for having the place so clean! The bathrooms, recroom and laundry facilities are very clean and very Functionable. I also love that they are so dog friendly! Yours truly, Terry Hartman

This is one of the worst RV parks in America. The streets are narrow, and the park is poorly designed. The "Pull through" spaces are a joke. The customers parked there have old beat up rv's and everyone has junk all over their spaces. The RVs are hanging into the street adn cars are parked in the street so you have a difficult time driving through with a decent RV. One jackass has his direct tv antena on the ground with brick around it and they are encroaching onto the street in the park. They say they don't allow tents but there are some in there. The sewer hook ups are antiquated and the utilities hook ups are in the wrong place. If you have a large RV, you may not be able to park or even drive through. If you want a pleasant RV experience, DON'T GO HERE!!!!! iF I COULD GIVE NEGATIVE STARS, I WOULD.

Clean facility with pool, jacuzzi, pingpong, billiards, washer/dryer facilities, gym. Bathrooms/showers for guests are nice and kept clean. Quite a bit of traffic/train noise, but overall a great place to stay.

We stayed here for a week while passing through the San Diego area. Upon arrival for check-in, we were immediately told a site and then the staff member walked away. The first site that we were given was in an awful location with a pole right in front of it making it impossible to back into without hitting the pole or tree. We were given an option of three other sites when we complained, which were a better fit for us. The sites are relatively tight but they are partially paved with gravel on the sides. The park often times had a smell of sewage in the morning but it would dissipate throughout the day. The resort location is great with it being centrally located, so it definitely made it easy to get around to anywhere and was right by the bay and beaches. The resort did offer all necessary amenities (laundry, bathrooms/showers, game room, etc), although at times the bathrooms were not the cleanest. My husband reported that the men’s bathroom never had hot water for his shower and all of the air vents were caked with dust/dirt; whereas with my experience in the women’s showers, I always had hot water but the showers were not the cleanest and often times the toilets were clogged. The campground itself had sites that were full hook ups and the campground mostly consisted of long term people. I hardly ever saw anyone use the pool, maybe twice during the week of our stay. The hot tub did not look like it had been taken care of with the water being green. The campground is right beside interstate 5 so it is extremely noisy all hours of the day and there is also the metro link commuter train that goes right behind it, which you will hear at all hours of the day. There was WiFi offered but for purchase. During our stay, there was an email sent out regarding the security of the campground and theft- however we did not experience anything bad during our stay. There were minimal grassy areas for walking our dogs but there is a mulched (no grass), fenced off dog area that you can walk your dog up and down (it is not completely fenced in so I would not call it a dog park or dog run area). They do offer bags for your dogs bathroom needs, but only the one by the office was filled with bags during our stay. Our stay was not terrible, but I would prefer going somewhere nicer next time we are in the San Diego area.

Washing machines are jacked up most of the time and they don't seem interested in fixing them. They don't dry properly and there is dog hair everywhere . Could use a good scrubbing. The actual park is a pain to get to. Some of the staff was friendly and some not so much. I'm not going to put anyone on blast so everyone just try to be friendlier when someone comes in the office. The sewage connector at our site didn't work so I had to Jerry rig the connection in order not to spill sewage on the ground. With two other parks within 2 miles I don't believe we would return here unless the other two were full.

Besides all the noise from the freeway and train... The times of the pool gates not being open on the designated times... All the laundry units being covered in dog hair... This place is an OK place to stay and enjoy San Diego. The customer service is good and the rates are fair. Staff are very friendly and are willing to help. The pool and jacuzzi are a delight. Would recommend!
