Full Hookup sites close to Soledad Canyon, CA

[wmoses]

I am planning a trip to the LA area - Soledad Canyon, CA to be exact, and the campgrounds I am coming up with leave a lot to be desired.

There are like 2 KOAs (Acton and Ventura Ranch) and while the latter has decent reviews there are no sites available for the time we want to be there (mid August). The reviews for the one in Acton does give me a good feeling.

I am going there to visit family and don't want to drag my portable tank there, hence the need for full hookups.

I am a member of Good Sam (and KOA) and am wondering if anyone can recommend a nice full hookup park in that area. Looking at the results in CA makes me feel blessed to be living in Texas as far as RV camping goes.

i don't think you'll be disappointed, but it's also really the only other choice to Soledad unless you drive to Ventura or Bakersfield.

Then I doubt anyone here can help since youve optioned yourself out. Travel Village is by far the closest to Santa Clarita and is nowhere near Los Angeles proper. Its 15mins drive time from almost anywhere in Santa Clarita, and I doubt you have any idea of the traffic patterns in this area, so not sure of the unfounded objections.

I can see convergence on Valencia. 🙂 Not really interested in getting close to or even seeing LA or any of the attractions that it has to offer, especially if it entails seeing / encountering lots of traffic and people. Not my cup of tea. So the farther north the better. As I mentioned I would be making the 1500 mile trek to get there in the first place so (a reasonable) distance away from the relatives living in Santa Clarita (say up to 50 miles) is not really an issue for me.

The Valencia park near Magic Mountain is the place to go.

Yea, rv parks in So California are like hen's teeth. There's one in Northridge, Walnut RV that we've stayed at. It's between the 118 and the 101, west of the 405. There's also one in Van Nuys that used to be called Birmingham, now I think it's called Balboa (?), also west of the 405. There's a Ventura County park in Simi Valley, Tapo Canyon that's about 3 miles north of the 118, full hookups. There's also one in Playa Del Rey, Dockweiler Rv Park (not the state beach).

Thanks. I'll look into these tomorrow.

FYI - Dockweiler is 40 miles south on the most crowded freeway in the country, and under LAX departure. Up to you but you might wanna take that off your list.

Action is cooler?

All of these listed a a hoof from Soledad Canyon. You would be much better off in Valencia. Acton will be cooler, but further from Soledad Canyon and not as safe an area as Valencia.

The recent reviews look good for it.

This is the leading candidate right now. Will know better when we call about availability tomorrow.

Thanks but I called them and I can't book a full hookup site. I can book a water and electric sore and if there are hookups when I get there I can get it. Fail. I am not driving 1500 miles on the off chance I "might" get a full hookup site.

Even though I am nearby those I've never been there. But if you just can't stay, try Travel Village in Valencia. It's way closer than anything else mentioned above.

Although I haven't stayed here, I drove through it and thought it would make a good place to stop for a night or two on the way home someday. It is in Acton. http://www.calrv.com/

There isn't much else in the area but if you're willing to drive 15 to 30 miles there are others listed on www.rvparkreviews.com
