Last month, we headed to Disneyland and explored the RVing possibilities of the Happiest Place on Earth (read post). This time, a new Southern Californian theme park is next in line: Sea World.
A Step Into an Underwater World
Located in San Diego, it’s a substantial drive from Disneyland and Orange County. Once there, however, there are many exciting, memorable activities to engage in. But the most important part is finding a convenient place to camp out for the duration of your stay.
The top five RV parks in the Sea World area are within 15 miles of the park, making it relatively easy to come and go at your leisure.
- Campland On the Bay (800-4BAY-FUN or www.campland.com) is 3 miles from the park and boasts a marina, internet service, and a cafe featuring BBQ and an ice cream parlor.
- Coastal Trailer Villa (619-276-0612 or www.coastaltrailervillapark.com) is 4 miles from Sea World. Pets are allowed, and the park is a mere 15 minutes from the beach.
- Mission Bay RV Resort (877-219-6900 or www.missionbayrvresort.com) is 5 miles from the park. Once again, pets are allowed. Cable TV and Wi-Fi are available as well as the facilities for a boat launch ramp, fishing, and biking.
- San Diego RV Resort (877-717-6667 or www.sdrvresort.com) is a bit more of a trek: 12 miles away from Sea World. However, the resort itself has a fitness center, wireless internet, and a heated pool and spa.
- Last but not least, the San Diego Metro KOA (800-762-5267 or www.koa.com) is the farthest in our top five: 15 miles. In addition to room for RVs, the KOA also is home to many cabins that are available to rent out for your stay. Free cable TV and wireless internet are a couple pluses. In addition, kids stay free!
Rates vary from park to park and depend on the size of your RV as well as the size of your family. Oftentimes, rates are around $40-$80 per night. Winter rates at certain parks are nearly half the price of their summer rates; to save money and enjoy a trip away from winter-y weather, travel to San Diego in January or February!
Of course, just as in Orange County, make sure that you see all the fun activities that San Diego has to offer visitors. Turn your Sea World trip into a chance to see the world!
