There is nothing worse than trying to have a meal and your neighbor starts dumping and all you do is smell and see crap just pouring into drains! If this place had those boards not exposing everyone's sewer dump this place would be an absolute HIT!!

The staff is warm and welcoming; if you're a frequent visitor, they actually remember your face! I think that's a nice perk for paying consumers. There's no reason for finding the downside/dark side of this place there's not a lot. The Oceanside/Northern San Diego area is pretty sweet, makes this RV resort more appealing.

We just left our stay with ocean rv park and there's great pros and really irritating cons…read more Pros- great locations, close - drive to the beach, great pizza and coffee restaurants walking distance, close to beaches. Good amenities- laundry room, pool, jacuzzi, lots of families and friendly snow bird couples. Friendly grounds- maintenance staff (Gardner) Cons- really tight spots, trains over night running close with horns, really unfriendly office staff - there was an older women maybe in her 60s that told our daughter she couldn't ride her bike in the empty spots. These spots were empty the entire trip and I was able to watch my disabled son while keeping eyes on her. The woman took it upon herself to tell her ride somewhere else and not discuss it directly with us. When my husband confronted her, she told us to read our bi- laws. They were not in the bi laws. She kept going around looking for citations on campers - very miserable woman. Just know if you're going to camp here she's likely going to try to make your time miserable. Someone please take away her assistant manager push pin someone gave her. She's clearly chasing business away.

Had a blast Vintage Glamping! Great concept. Happy this…read morepartnership between State Parks and private business collaborated to bring together such a unique and delightful camping experience. I read about The Holiday's on Trip Advisr and was pleased to find mid-week openings the next week. I paid for one night in advance, but after the fun my granddaughter had that first day, I paid for another night and am glad to have done so. The turquoise and white trailer, "The Drifter" is adorable, as are all four units. Andy, the owner/ manager is friendly, easy to reach by phone, and stops by each day to provide for the needs of his current renters, and to prep for the next to arrive. With an included fridge, freezer, 3 burner stove, plates, cups, mugs, utensils, bbq utensils, sink with running water, heat, ample sleeping for 4, bath towels, beach towels, USB ports, board games, cards, and a bluetooth sound system, the trailer offers plenty of convenience for its diminuative size. For a small extra charge a generator provides AC, microwave and electricity. Each trailer gas picnic table, charcoal bbq, and a firepit... though we joined other campers at the communal firepit and enjoyed making new friends. The Holiday's Community has a shared storage shed filled with complimentary games (Jenga, Cornhole, Horseshoes, oversized Checkers, Bocce Ball, etc.) beach supplies (umbrellas, boogie boards, noodles). The beach is gorgeous... there are two paths to access the beach, one is quite steep and the hike back up is tough. The other path nearest to the Visitor Center is less steep. All in all, big props to The Holiday's! I will definitely be returning.

I'm having a difficult time understanding why I keep being told by Gail Perry the office manager…read morethat the owner is the one that handles the rentals at this location and that although the website shows availability, there isn't any because the owner doesn't keep up with the website. THEN, a week later the website shows no availability at all and she says it's because the owner " must have" updated the website. She says when there's availability She'll let me know. I go in the website yesterday and it now shows AGAIN two available sites so I email Gail and her reply was there's still no availability. I am in the process of trying to contact someone hire up to possibly help me. I understand if there's no availability, but it seems as though someone is dropping the ball somewhere.

From the owner: Sandy Shores opened in 1951 during an era when RVs and travel trailers were growing in popularity…read moreand beginning to include modern conveniences such as complete kitchens, refrigerators, bathrooms and real plumbing systems. Sandy Shores was originally built as a 55 space trailer park across the street from what at the time was the existing 100 space Harbor View Trailer Coach Villa. In 1962, Sandy Shores Trailer Park was purchased by Oceanside native Harold Carpenter, who owned and operated the nearby Carpenters Towing and Auto Salvage business. After several years of construction, the Oceanside Harbor opened in 1963, adding another attraction along with a spectacular view for travelers staying in the park. By the late 1960s the Harbor View Trailer Coach Villa across the street closed down and the number of spaces in Sandy Shores was reduced to make way for bigger and more luxurious travel trailers. Today, Sandy Shores is still locally owned and operated by like minded people. It now consists of 40+ spaces, including some short term RV spaces (6 months or less), but the majority of the spaces are used as a coastal vacation spot for people who reside in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. Many are second or third generation families who have been coming to Oceanside for years to enjoy the quaint atmosphere of the park and the nearby beaches, harbor and other attractions...

We realized after our first night that the spot was not going to work for us, it was too small for our travel trailer and large truck. We went to the onsite office and asked about changing spots. The three ladies in the office didn't hesitate and immediately went to work looking for a larger spot for us. They did, spot #104. And not only did they allow us to move, they didn't charge us the difference for the remaining 3 nights. Customer Service is alive and well here at Escondido RV Resort! Thank you ladies for making our stay a great one!
