Los Angeles County is over 4300 square miles while the city of Los Angeles is about 500 square miles.

Dockweiler RV Park is Los Angeles’ only RV park that is right on the beach. Enjoy the 3 miles of sandy beaches, cool ocean breezes, and rolling waves right from your RVs front door. This campground offers full hookups, showers, a laundry mat, a sani dump, and every site has its own BBQ and picnic table.

Just 25 miles from Los Angeles lies Malibu Creek State Park. This picturesque park is the perfect place to hike the quiet trails, catch a few fish, or catch up on your bird watching. The sitcom M*A*S*H was shot here for all eleven seasons. There is still evidence of this around the park, from a leftover ambulance to the mileage post, fans from around the world travel here to relive the glory days of M*A*S*H.

 

Located in Eastern Los Angeles the Pomona KOA is your home away from home. The campground has a hot tub and sauna, a snack bar, and fishing. There is even a shuttle that will take you to your favorite attractions.
