So far it’s not bad. More space in between spots than CAMPLAND for sure. Met some of our neighbors yesterday super nice people that actually live in havasu full time. They have a Nordic SS. Only downside to mission bay so far is the hookup situation is kinda shit lol. But it works

Always enjoyed that place. Nice, clean, quiet, and not crazy like across the way.

For younger kids- 6 and under, which is better? Mission Bay or Campland?

 

[Bowtiepower00]

The new dirt spots in the north section are larger and include some pull through sites. I prefer them over the parking lot vibe of the original area. Still pretty tight if you have a longer setup.

This will be our first full day here. But I’d already say Campland for the kids. Mission bay has more of the relax vibe. Campland has all the amenities for the kids. Cool thing is we rode our bikes over to campland yesterday and let the kids hit the arcade we got drinks ran around while the dj was on the stage.

Never been there. We should check it out tho. We are headed to Sun Outdoors in Chula Vista for the first time on the 16th for a shakedown run on the new trailer. Anyone been there and how do you like it?

I had a 40 foot fifth wheel that I would take there. And I didn’t have a long bed with a slide hitch where I could jackknife. Trying to clear those trees at the entrance of every spot if somebody was already parked directly across the street from me could take a little time.

Campland has dog shit spaces that are way expensive. But they have a ton of activities for the kids.

KOA San Diego don’t have beach access obviously but has much bigger spots and lots for kids to do. But the birds shit on everything.

Paradise by the Sea is our favorite.

Its very nice but we thought very expensive. They charge a resort fee and drinks are not cheap

Yeah that's what we expect. Might just be a one-time thing for us.

All the rates drop after Labor Day. We try to book trips in late Sept / Oct once the summer rates end

are those new side sites all dirt (or DG or gravel?) or is there a concrete pad like a small patio?

That’s not a bad option. Quiet at night for them but a short ride away for some fun. Is the beach decent?

I remember back in the day we would walk over to the bay and they had these little creatures that would bite your ankles or top of your feet if you just stood still in the water so be careful over there if kids say they get bit.

I just told my kids they were called “Water Chiggers”. I have no idea where I came up with that name.

How so?

 

[ChumpChange]

How so?

If I recall, all the hook ups are at the very back of the spots so if you don’t have extension cords or longer sewer hose, it’s hard to hook up.

The park was made before toy haulers where hook up stations were halfway up from behind the back.

The weather is great and the water is pretty warm. We were down there paddleboarding last weekend.

 

[Bowtiepower00]

It’s been over a year since we have been there, but at that time, all graded dirt- they basically just smoothed the area off after they removed the old trailers, so there were some small pieces of tile and other construction debris mixed in. I don’t recall seeing any glass or nails/ screws but we put the mat down just to be safe.

The power is all of the way at the front of the spaces, so some trailers require an extension to reach- we didn’t need one but they do rent them at the office for $30 or so. Water is also a bit of a reach but not as bad.

I’ve been to Sun Outdoor Chula and was quite surprised with how nice it was. We went down with some friends and neighbors. Spots were large & level. No problem with room for a large trailer & truck or MH and tow behind. Each camp spot comes with a propane fire pit. (Bring our own propane tank) or I think you can rent one?

The pool area is really nice and they have music playing, and some evenings live music. One evening they had sports playing on a big screen out by the pool. They have a decent little store and restaurant that will bring you food & drinks to you out by the pool. They had an arcade for the kids. Multiple dog parks. You can ride out the back gate down around the ship yard and to the Bay side park, The Gallery restaurant, and J st Marina.

The cabins look fun if you don’t have a RV, they each have little patios with fire pits. You got a fun party vibe in the evening by everyone staying in them.

We are trying Sun Outdoors end of this month.

Have heard good things. We are going in October

Hookups are behind motorhome no big deal but the sewer hookup is literally in your neighbors spot. On their patio side so it’s a dick move to hookup or dump.
