Monterey RV Resort

A full-hookup RV resort in Bodega Bay, California, on the rugged Sonoma Coast where Alfred Hitchcock filmed The Birds in 1963. Bodega Bay RV Resort offers extended-stay seasonal sites overlooking the Pacific Ocean, with access to Bodega Head's whale-watching bluffs, Doran Beach's protected cove, and the Sonoma Coast State Park's sea stacks and tide pools. Dunbar School (the original Bodega schoolhouse from the film) still stands in the village, and the North Coast wine country of the Russian River Valley is 30 minutes inland.

A full-hookup RV resort in Dana Point, California, on the Orange County coast — the self-proclaimed Dolphin and Whale Watching Capital of the World, where year-round Pacific gray whale migrations and superpods of common dolphins number in the thousands just offshore. Dana Point RV Resort offers extended-stay seasonal sites near the Dana Point Harbor, Salt Creek Beach, the Ocean Institute's tall ship program, and the scenic Headlands Conservation Area trail above the Pacific. Laguna Beach's galleries and tide pools are 10 minutes north.

An upscale RV resort in Palm Desert, California with a mix of long-term seasonal and deeded-lot sites. Emerald Desert features pools, tennis, pickleball, and a clubhouse, with direct access to the Coachella Valley's golf, shopping, and hiking. A favorite long-term base for desert snowbirds from the Pacific Northwest and western Canada.

A full-hookup RV resort in Eureka, California, on Humboldt Bay — the largest bay between San Francisco and Puget Sound and the hub of the Redwood Coast, where the world's tallest trees grow in ancient groves along the fog-drenched North Coast. Eureka RV Resort offers extended-stay sites near Old Town Eureka's Victorian architecture and bay-front boardwalk, with proximity to Redwood National and State Parks, the Avenue of the Giants, and the Lost Coast — one of the most remote and undeveloped stretches of shoreline on the U.S. Pacific Coast.
