California offers many options for RV camping on the California coast. We found so many options that are big rig-friendly that we are breaking this up into 3 different articles- RV Parks on the California Coast, RV Parks in Northern California<\/a>, and RV Parks in Southern California<\/a>.

    Carmel by the River RV Park- RV Parks On The California Coast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This clean and well-maintained small boutique park only has 35 sites. The property is in a garden-like setting with lots of flowers and foliage so it\u2019s quiet and peaceful.  Even though the name implies it is on the river, it is not. The closest water access is Carmel Beach which is about a 10-minute drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Plan a visit to the scenic small downtown area of Carmel-by-the-Sea, but you will need to take a car as the roads are narrow and there\u2019s no RV parking there. Campers say that the staff is friendly and helpful and the large sites are big-rig friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
