Military RV Campsites in California
According to the Military RV Campsite Directory, California has 31 military RV parks. Military bases throughout southern California host most of these RV parks. The most popular parks, situated on the coast, recommend that you place reservations 12 weeks in advance. Similar to non-military RV parks, the amenities differ from park to park. Only active duty, retired military, military reservists and their families may stay at the parks. Active-duty status does not have priority when making reservations. Military members and family members must be 18 or older when making the reservations.
