Sunset Vista RV Park
Overview
Sunset Vista RV Park offers one of the most coveted camping experiences in Southern California, placing travelers directly on the sands of Huntington Beach. Operating on a seasonal schedule from October through May, this city-owned park provides a front-row seat to the Pacific Ocean. It is less of a traditional wooded campground and more of a dedicated coastal lot designed for those who want to wake up to the sound of crashing waves and fresh salt air. It serves as a premier winter destination for RVers looking to escape colder climates for a beachside retreat.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in the heart of Surf City USA, the park is located just south of the iconic Huntington Beach Pier. The surrounding area is vibrant and active, with the Pacific Coast Highway running right behind the sites. Guests are steps away from miles of wide, sandy beaches and the paved Huntington Beach Bike Trail, which stretches along the coastline. The atmosphere is undeniably urban-coastal, blending the natural beauty of the ocean with the energy of a world-famous beach town.
Amenities & Park Features
The park provides essential conveniences for a comfortable stay on the coast. Sites include water and electric hookups, though sewer connections are not available at individual pedestals. Instead, guests have access to a central on-site dump station included with their stay. The park also features restrooms and hot showers to help wash off the sand after a day in the water. While the sites are paved and closely spaced, the primary amenity remains the direct beach access and shared fire rings located nearby on the sand for evening bonfires.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the surf, visitors can explore the upscale shopping and dining at Pacific City, located within easy walking distance. The Huntington Beach Pier offers a perfect vantage point for sunsets or watching professional surfers tackle the waves. For those who enjoy active travel, the multi-use oceanfront trail is ideal for cycling, jogging, or skating for miles. Local surf museums and downtown boutiques provide plenty of cultural entertainment within a short stroll from your RV door.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is ideal for active beach enthusiasts and surfers who prioritize location above all else. Because of its layout and proximity to the highway, it is best suited for social travelers who enjoy being in the middle of the action rather than those seeking a quiet, secluded retreat. It is a premier choice for coastal travelers looking for Southern California sunshine and the rare convenience of camping right on the edge of the Pacific Ocean in a world-class destination.

Excellent location, great restaurants and shops including luxury outdoor mall right across the street. Pier and shops/restaurants walking distance. Road noise is loud, but to be expected. Middle sites are large.

Very nice but tight RV park. Daytime and weather was great while we were there. Had a great time, but the night turned brutal! The park itself has 10 pm - 6 am noise curfew / quiet time. However, the park being between the beach and the Pacific Coast Highway (Hwy 1) and resort hotels and bars being across the street (PCH) with said Bars playing extremely load....let's say music. There were at least two and maybe a third bar and it seemed like they each were trying to drown-out the "music" from the others till 2 am. This made no sense as the park has a noise curfew but the city doesn't seem to enforce their own noise curfew.

Perfect location and just as advertised on their website. Water and Electric Only - No sewer. The dump station is located at the end of the park and was easy to get to. I was located in the back in spots against the boardwalk. Lots of activity and noise, so make sure you like to be part of the action or choose another spot. You can't beat the views and environment. Took bikes to all Huntington Beach and it was amazing!

Good spot to have your bikes stolen. Easy access for thieves. Locks & chains not much of a deterrent for them. Also have homeless people digging through the garbage cans at 3 a.m. every morning (probably as they're scoping out the campsites). Then during the day all week, it's just construction noise from setting up for a music concert the following wkend. The plus? When you report stolen property, they are sympathetic & let you know it happens. Homeless people coming around at 3 a.m., ya bc that's when the camp security leaves & HB police aren't quite on patrol yet. We camp a lot & this is first place we've been too where you have to lock everything down tight just to walk over to the beach just on the other side of the railing. Don't expect to feel rested between the construction, traffic noise, & dance club that's popping until 3 a.m. then the homeless guy comes to root root around your site & trash cans. Also, dogs allowed but not on any of the beaches within walking distance. No return trip for us.

Big spaces for RVs, water and electrical connections, trash service and you can BBQ in the parking lot. Public bathroom within walking distance.
