We don’t write many Google reviews. We wanted to commend Amy at Walnut RV Park in Northridge, CA for her diligent efforts to host us for a 13 week travel assignment. We have been doing Travel Medicine, (Locum, or Travel Nursing) for five years, we have been in hundreds of RV parks while traveling to, or working assignments in that time. From first contact with Amy we received prompt replies as we inquired on availability, booking request, cancellation, reconfirming availability, booking request, and cancellation as the potential work assignment kept changing their mind. We felt like flakes with the on / off again. Amy said she understood as Walnut RV Park had hosted several Travel Nurses in the past. While negotiating this assignment was an unusual challenge, booking the park was one of the best experiences we have had in our five years on the road. Thank you Amy!

We had a mixed experience with Walnut RV Park, but ultimately ended up staying for about a year—and that was entirely because of the current management. Before our first visit, we called multiple times over four weeks and never got a return call until we were already in California. Our initial interaction with the previous manager, Crystal, felt unwelcoming and off-putting, and we decided not to stay. Fast forward a couple months—we gave it another shot, and the difference in management was night and day. Our call was answered immediately, booking was smooth, and the entire team was kind and professional. Amanda Tucker, the current manager, is excellent—organized, responsive, and clearly on top of everything. Any questions we had were handled right away. Her husband, Jake Tucker, was also a huge plus—he kept an eye on our RV when we were out of town and was very proactive about security. Miriam was incredibly sweet and patient, and Amanda G was always friendly and such a joy to chat with. Augustine was also so lovely. He always kept the park clean and tidy. Honestly, we likely wouldn’t have stayed if not for this new team. A few downsides: the park sits right on Nordhoff, so front sites get noticeable traffic noise. Bathrooms are older and could use updating. The laundry room is small (4 washers/4 dryers), gets very hot in summer, and has no A/C. Internet is unreliable unless you’re in the office. Security has improved with more cameras, but given the location, you’d expect even more. There were a few instances of unwanted individuals entering the park, but management handled it quickly. At one point, someone attempted to break into our RV while we were out of town—thankfully we had our own cameras, as we wouldn’t have known otherwise. Overall, this place is carried by its management. The current team makes a big difference and creates a much better experience than what we initially encountered.

If you’re looking for a spot that perfectly balances convenience with a relaxing atmosphere, Walnut RV Park is it. We’ve stayed at plenty of "town campgrounds" before, but this one truly stands in a league of its own. Here’s why we loved it: • The Pool Area: Honestly, the pool was the highlight of our stay. It’s sparkling clean, beautifully maintained, and felt like a private oasis. It was the perfect place to cool off and unwind after a long day of travel. • The Community: The people here—both the staff and the fellow campers—are incredibly welcoming. There’s a genuine, friendly vibe that makes you feel like part of the neighborhood the moment you pull into your slip. • Unbeatable Location: You get the best of both worlds here. You’re close to everything you need in town (groceries, gas, and local eats), yet the park itself stays peaceful. It’s rare to find a spot this accessible that doesn’t feel "busy." The Bottom Line: For a town campground, this place is absolutely amazing. It’s well-manicured, safe, and has all the amenities you actually want. We’ll definitely be making Walnut RV Park a regular stop on our routes!

We traveled cross-country and this is the friendliest Rv park we have stayed with! It’s so central to everything you’d want to do in Los Angeles (we came here for work in filming) and walkable to so much in Northridge too. Amanda, Miriam, Augustine, Clint and Kelly are so friendly and just make staying here peaceful and fun. It’s close to everything but very quiet. They have a pool and vintage clubhouse with old Hollywood feel that has seating, books and a coffee bar too. Thanks!

Perfect location and service is fantastic. We love it here. They take really good care of the place and Myriam is so sweet. We haven't had experience with anyone else.
