1 Pirate Cove Resort in Needles, CA
I think that I will always hold a spot in my heart for this place because it was the first long trip we took with our newly renovated camper.
Located in the Colorado River, this resort has the best of both worlds, wonderful RV campgrounds, and cabins for the regular hotel experience.
But the best part is that you can go there and experience the RV camping fun without having an Rv, they offer on-site rentals for RVs and boats (or pretty much anything else you want to experience)
There are restaurants a few minutes away, you can either drive or just take a short boat ride or their water taxi.
You can enjoy not just spacious spots right next to the water, but also private beaches that are a couple of feet away from the camping coves. they are spacious and with great sand for the little ones to play.
My boys spent most of the days just playing in the water. So much fun!
The only thing that I would warn you is that if you are going during the summer months, the temperatures can get pretty high, think about hundreds. And it doesn’t get too cool at night, so make sure your AC is working!
2 Paradise by the Sea in San Diego, California
Located in Southern California, Paradise by the Sea is the areas only RV campground resort on the ocean. If you are planning on taking a trip to the San Diego area then this would be a great option for you.
The resort is located near Buccaneer Park and Legoland. You can also plan a day trip to Disneyland or Knott’s Berry Farm. After a day at the theme parks, you can relax at the resorts heated pool or spend some time sitting around the fire pit area.
