I've driven past Paradise by the Sea for 45 years and never paid any attention to it. Living so…read moreclose, my wife and I decided it might be a neat place to try with our Class A motorhome. We spent 3 nights here in August of 2026 and were delighted that we did. It's an oasis in downtown Oceanside. The staff are delightful, the resort is very will organized and well maintained. There's a locked gate to enter a very short path to Buccaneer Beach. Spaces are concrete paved and the utilities are perfectly positioned. My only comment would be that there's not much room between spaces so it's tight, but still very maneuverable. Keep in mind, this is prime real estate close to the beach, so it's expected that they need to make the best use of their acreage. Paradise is a very neat place to get away.

i am going to start off with the positives - the campground is clean and well maintained. yes, you…read morecan walk to the beach but there's not much beach there (not the campsites fault). we took our 2&4 year olds to buccaneer park and it was loaded with homeless people and what appeared to possibly be gang members. the pool at the campground is very small and they offer a pool table, shuffleboard and tv's inside the main office. again, all very clean. we were in site 65 and the trains ran right behind us. my kids got the biggest kick out of it. the negatives: there was a massive mosquito problem because of all the still water in the loma alta creek next door.we originally booked site 64 because it's huge and with 2 toddlers we will take all the room we can. but because i didn't pay extra to lock it in, they gave it to someone else who didn't even utilize all the extra space. major bummer but i hate that i have to pay extra to lock in a site - what a rip off. site 65 was super tight & we couldn't even open our awning all the way because there's a palm tree right there. anyway, super disappointed that our spot was given away because i didn't "lock it in". also, they have an employee who will guide you in to your spot, the kid who helped was nice but terrible at backing us in. he wasn't telling us anything he was just staring the whole time. we'd be better off doing it on our own. i think this place is great for older people or families without toddlers. for us, it was a bit more stressful as we were trying to find things to do. maybe we will come back once we retire in 25 years.

Carlsbad is a beautiful city with a lot of nice restaurants and little shops so I opted to try the…read morebeach here today rather than Oceanside where I usually go. I lucked out and found a super close parking spot in the neighborhood across the street. The beach itself was VERY short compared to sand length at other beaches so people were almost on top of each other. There was a pretty intense drop off about half way down the sand so it limited space for people to put down their stuff and lay out. I'm not sure how normal it is at this spot but there was a TON of rocks. It was way too much to be able to enter the water without having them beating your feet and ankles. My friend was bleeding after trying to check out the water. The surf was also a little intense that day so I'm wondering if that had any effect on the rock situation? This was a very clean beach with restrooms at the bottom of the ramp from the street so it did have that going for it but we decided to leave and head for a beach where we could safely go into the water that day. I'll have to come back another time to get a better idea.

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.

Wonderful Experience at Mission Bay RV Resort!…read more We had such a wonderful experience at Mission Bay RV Resort! The location, atmosphere, and overall experience made our stay truly special, and we made so many great memories. I especially want to recognize the recreation leader at the clubhouse. She was absolutely amazing with the kids and truly went above and beyond her duties. She always had fun activities planned and made sure my kids had something exciting to look forward to. She was incredibly helpful, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure everyone had a great time. Her kindness and energy really made a difference in our stay, and I hope she knows how much she is appreciated! I would definitely recommend Mission Bay RV Resort to anyone looking for a great place to stay in San Diego. We had such a great time that we will absolutely be returning again next year! Thank you for making our stay so memorable!

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.

The last two or three years really was the peak of quality and service! This trip was a sad let down, the things we had come to expect and look forward to were not remotely close. Spaces were NOT cleaned between campers, this used to be the norm! Staff used to be very present and maintained a level of connection with campers while making sure they helped with any issues and made sure rules were being followed. The pool was heated this trip but the area around it was not as well maintained and the hot tub was WAY TOO HOT! It was dangerously hot, enough it gave my husband heat stroke! He was wiped out for the whole night. It was very VERY hot, was checked and was over 107 degrees. The staff was very hands off, unprofessional and not present. The park was dirty, you can tell the gardeners and maintenance staff were not maintaining like they use to. We stayed for 12 nights and never ONCE saw someone cleaning or trimming etc. They have now imposed a $10 per delivery fee for packages that are delivered to the campground. This is however not posted on TT website or the Oceanside RV Resort site. Its just a sign on their post board out in front of their office that we are supposed to read when arriving. Scammy to me and very very ridiculous for long term guests. Overall the location and price are hard to beat, so we will be back but I am in no rush based off this trip. The prior management and staff really had a care for their guests experiences and showed it in their work. Sad to say that Oceanside RV Resort has definitely peaked and is on the downward fall for sure!

I was about disappointed in the state of the camper. The awning was in disrepair and required constant adjustment so we wouldn't rip it further. The interior was decent, everything you could need was provided: pots, dishes, soap, blankets, towels. The common area provided flush toilets and showers (coins need to be purchased via cc at the kiosk). But maintenance on the facilities would be greatly appreciated. The spot comes with 2 parking spaces and proximity to the beach isn't too bad. The center of the campsite has a shared pit and lawn games. Each site gets its own fire pit and gazebo/picnic table. There's enough room to add an additional tent for more guests. For the price, I would just go tent camping, but for those who don't feel like packing and setting up, this is a good alternative. The staff were a bit less friendly then last time as well. We were not allowed to set up a hammock like we have in the past.
