It's generally quiet and everyone we ran into was nice. They have a clubhouse with pool table and a few games and TVs. There is a fire pit patio area in the back with corn hole and another TV where you can relax. Short walking path to Buccaneer Beach and the burrito place next to it. There are several other restaurants within walking distance of the park as well. We've been there several times and will definitely return.

I just wish they at least had some boards up to block Each sites dump station!

Camping at Carlsbad State Beach is unmatched…read more This campsite offers the best of both worlds: city life + beach life. It sits right on the ocean bluff with two sides, bluff-side (oceanfront) and streetside. Obviously bluff-side is preferred, but staying on the streetside is still a treat. A few things I love about this camping experience: - They allow all forms of camping. Tent, RV, van, etc. - The site has clean bathrooms and warm showers. Just be sure to purchase tokens at the front for the shower. - Dog friendly! You can bring your pet along but they must be on leash and aren't allowed on the beach. - Carlsbad has the most captivating sunsets, and if you're lucky, you'll even see a few dolphins. Truly the most memorable 32nd birthday activity with all my favorite people.

We were on vacation from AZ on 6/2, driving N bound on Carlsbad blvd. My friend had use the…read morebathroom, so we entered the left turn lane at the entrance, and proceeded to turn left (on green arrow) into the park entryway. We pulled up to the gate and the police turned on their flashers! When I asked the park attendant why, they irritatedly said 'tell it to them', pointing at the police. As we pulled around to stop, the female attendant shrieked and pointed at us, as if we were criminals! The officers were literally sitting in their vehicle, WAITING for this to occur, because it is ILLEGAL to turn LEFT here, even though you are IN THE LEFT TURN LANE, with a GREEN arrow directing you to TURN LEFT! I was astonished at this absurd intersection and the way it MISDIRECTS drivers! I protested to the officer, who said there was a sign posted earlier in the median which stipulated 'U Turn ONLY' (NOT above the traffic light where it might actually have been seen)! I indicated I had NEVER encountered a left turn green arrow at an intersection, with an available roadway, where you were NOT allowed to turn LEFT ON A LEFT GREEN ARROW. I indicated that the generally accepted understanding across the USA is that if you are in the LEFT turn lane, and you get a left green arrow, you turn LEFT! I asked the officer to issue a warning only, he said he could not, it was 'zero tolerance' due to the volume of accidents at this intersection going into South Carlsbad State Beah Park! Their CONFLICTING traffic directions at this intersection is CAUSING these 'accidents'! And there will be more! Now I have fines, possible points on my license. TOURISTS BEWARE! This is a racket! It is also DANGEROUS!

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!

The front office staff again was not friendly. The park is not pet friendly & the train is annoying, loud and non-stop. It seems the train operators also don't like this place as well. The $40 pick your site fee is unnecessary and misleading. I guess if you get suckered into paying for the park to pick your spot, they will put you closer to the train. I can officially say we are out on Oceanside RV.

This place could be an amazing experience BUT it is very rustic and amenities are not what you…read moreexpect. The bathrooms reek of urine, the shower only accepts tokens so take dollar bills not quarters. The showers only have hot water so our grandkids had a difficult time taking a shower which was needed due to beach trip. Access to the beach is not an easy walk for older people like me. Our grandkids had a blast playing at the beach so we just tried to make the best of our time together. Please fix the screens, You can see the concept is very inviting but not the place for the people who have any sort of health issues.

I organized a long-awaited Girl Scout reunion for 11 of us--5 moms and 6 girls--and we were…read morethrilled to book two 20' bell tents at The Holidays on the San Mateo campground. We paid $490 upfront for one night of glamping, knowing it was steep but worth it for the convenience. With busy schedules across five families, one night was all we could coordinate. When we arrived at the Ranger station, I was told we weren't on the list for Saturday night. Instead, my name was marked as a no-show for the previous night. I showed my reservation confirmation, but the Ranger explained the tents were run by a third party and gave me the owner's number. My calls went to voicemail. Hipcamp's customer service didn't respond. Eventually, Andy--the owner--called back. Turns out, Andy had double-booked our tents and claimed the other guests were already settled in--even though we arrived before check-in. He had no backup accommodations to offer. I was stunned. We had packed cars with food, clothes, firewood, and supplies. This trip had been planned for six months. I had to call two other moms mid-drive and tell them to turn around. We scrambled to find two hotel rooms so the girls could still have a mini reunion, but it was more expensive and nowhere near the experience we'd envisioned. To top it off, Andy asked me, "Haven't you ever made a mistake?" That's not how you handle a business error that disrupts five families' plans. This wasn't a simple mistake--it was a complete failure in communication, accountability, and customer service. Think twice before booking with The Holidays.
