L.A. County’s only recreational vehicle campground right on the beach puts you within steps of the ocean in Playa Del Rey. From your RV, you can watch the water and catch views stretching from Malibu to Catalina Island while ocean breezes move through your site year-round.

The park handles the practical side well: full hook-ups, a pump-out station, hot showers, and a laundromat mean you can stay comfortably for weeks. Each site has its own picnic table and barbecue grill, so cooking dinner with the sound of waves in the background becomes routine. The sand itself is just a few steps away, making it easy to walk your dog down to the water’s edge whenever you want.

If your dog enjoys the ocean, swimming is solid here, and the beach is wide enough for a real walk without feeling crowded. You might spot people fishing off the shore, which makes for interesting watching. There’s volleyball nearby if you’re staying with people who want activities beyond the beach itself. Evening beach fires are allowed too, though check with the office about current fire restrictions and where dogs can go during different times of day.

The 22-mile Marvin Braude Bicycle Trail runs practically through the park, connecting you directly to Redondo Beach Pier, Venice, Santa Monica, and Marina del Rey. If you have a bike, it’s a scenic way to explore without moving your rig. The park’s also close enough to the 405 and 105 freeways that you could day-trip to Disneyland, Universal Studios, or the Getty if you’re in the mood for something beyond beach time.

Weather here stays mild enough to camp year-round, which beats dealing with cold mornings or excessive heat depending on when you travel. The combination of full amenities, direct beach access, and easy freeway connections makes it straightforward to stay put or explore.
