Chula Vista RV

Nice park, clean and well kept. Our site bordered the street which was a bit noisy but overall not too bad. Nearby marina and restaurant were nice as well.

After 35-years in business, the Chula Vista RV Resort will be shutting its doors on February 1, 2019. The RV resort sent out a notice to customers this week informing them the park will close and anyone with reservations after February 2019, will be issued a full refund. Cathy Butler said she has come to the RV resort for years. “Everybody is sad it is going to be gone. We are definitely going to miss this place. We come down here once a year with our group. We potluck, we swim, we play games.” The park will be closing to make way for the new billion dollar Bayfront project that was approved by the Chula Vista City Council and the Port of San Diego. The project will include a 1,600 room hotel, a 275,000-square-foot convention center, two parks and a fire station.

This RV resort definitely lives up to its name. A very ritzy, clean, classy place with 24/7security and completely gated in - we quickly came to realize why the price was so high per night. The pool temperature was nice, and the hot tub felt great. The location is FANTASTIC, right on the water - and a quick 5 minute walk to watch the amazing sunsets, a fun playground, beach and water with a huge shallow ocean area to play and swim in if you have little ones. I read in another review that there is no beach access, but this is incorrect- there are several beaches and places to swim in the ocean right by the park. The resort also has a grassy area with fun swing chairs which is also a nice place to hangout! We paid the extra money to be on the water (we brought our 11 month old who naps a lot and we wanted to be able to enjoy the view while she was out), and that was worth it - although I would agree with the previous reviewer that the water is still a bit of a distance away. Site #61 had an awesome view of the marina (and all of the crazy pokemon players who were frequenting the front of our site, even reaching their arms through our fence to play - awkward!). We strategically didn’t back our 32ft 5th wheel in all the way so we could sit behind it and look out at the boats, which worked perfectly. I don’t think the extra money would be worth it though if you were on the west side of the park, as it’s really a view of a roadway, parking lot and very squeaky and loud playground. Each site is also made very private by a row of tall bushes (as they are extremely close together), half of ours though were HUGE hangout area for bees, so we couldn’t get into our storage areas when they were out which was a bit annoying at times - and were a bit on guard when sitting outside enjoying the view. There are no fire pits at the individual sites, but we did see a lot of people who brought their own and had little fires going - genius! The overall clientele seemed to be of retirement age, not many kids around when we stayed it was very quiet overall - but there is a very nice large park and playground right outside the gate with lots of families and kids. Overall, fantastic place to stay if you want a nice, relaxing, safe spot where you can walk along the (short) boardwalk, hang out at the beach, swim in the pool or hot tub, walk up the street to restaurants without ever having to step foot back in a vehicle. The staff members were very friendly and helpful - we will definitely come back!! Check out our RV video reviews and adventures here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKmZqsaeydzPKNgZ3ilx_gA

Really wanted to like this park but in the end it was just okay. The grounds and facilities are immaculate and represent the pricing well (we paid about $65 per night) but the sites are a bit tight and our water view location was not water view, it is a few blocks over. Great walkway around the marina and you are right on the Bay Bikeway to Coronado. 20 minutes to downtown SD and 20 minutes south to TJ. If you want access to nice facilities then this is the park for you.
