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.
Tim Strouse
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.

BEACHSIDE! GREAT LOCATION, NOISY & SMALL LOTS First impression: KUDOS to the City for developing this public space. It's clean and access to beach and boardwalks and pier is incredible. ❤️❤️ Big rig friendly?... KINDOF Location: Great location because it is RIGHT ON THE BEACH. However, it's barely big rig friendly. Spaces actually are wide, but not long enough, & no sewer hookups. Driving in and out is also problematic because of narrow roads, tight corners and a semi-gnarly tight entrance and tire slicing knives you don't want to mess with. Employees & checkin: Very helpful and friendly. Checkin was quick. If traveling as a group of big rigs, the entrance can only hold 3-4 before others have to hold up traffic on the busy 101 highway. Noise: Highway 101 is ADJACENT. The only thing between your space and the very busy and noisy highway is a sidewalk. Night time bars across the street are also fairly noisy. A lot of racing traffic at night. Security: One of our group members had their e-bikes almost stolen after going to bed. The cable locking the bikes to the rack was cut, but the mechanism for holding the bikes onto the rack was too tight to get them off. But seriously... it's a target area for BS thieves. Final note: Not the greatest for big rigs, lots are a bit short and no sewer hookups. HOWEVER, it's clean, has nice people working, and LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! =)

The location, right at the beach just across from a bike/walking path could not be any better. The spaces are roomy, wider than most. You are basically in a parking lot, one with water and power. No dump at your site is why I did not offer up 5 stars. Over the weekend, it was busy here, but during the week, not so much. All day long you’ll see people running, walking or riding along the path. Many dogs being walked. Close, very close by are grassy areas where you can take your dog. They do not supply dog pick up bags so bring your own. Plenty of garbage cans located throughout the park. There is a public bathroom near the park, one with toilets only, but we did not use them. Easy walk across the PCH to the downtown area to do a bit of “tourist” type shopping and plenty of places to find a bite to eat. We sleep with a small fan running at night (white noise) which made it easy to get a good nights rest. We are here currently, early February. I definitely recommend this rv park.

Our new favorite site. You must be sure to lock up bikes, because the campsite is open you can have non campers walk around. We have not had any bad experiences, but we also lock up our bikes. Plenty of outdoor activities, shopping and dining.

Pros: -Beach Front / great views -Close to restaurants/bars -Clean campground Cons: -Very public anyone can walk onto your site -Lots of homeless walking around, lady yelled at me for not having a cigarette -NO SECURITY -Public bathrooms open till 10 but the homeless sleep in there around 7-8 so no restrooms available after 7 -Loud club across the streets I did like this place though. Its risky but I will give it another shot. Avoid the sites near stairs.

We loved this location! Right on the beach and the sunsets were beautiful! The only reason I can’t give 5 stars is the lack of amenities. But, even so, the sItes were good size and…did I mention on the beach?!? Perfect location.
