Sunset Vista Camping

Nice campground. Close to all the HB action. I really want to do a special shout out for employee Janette. She went above and beyond the call of duty for our family. Thanks Janette for being so kind! Give that girl a raise!!!

Best location to downtown. Be mindful that it does NOT have sewer at the RV spot, but at the end of the rows. Also make sure to LOCK things down at night, we had bikes stolen. They allow wood fire pits and you are RIGHT on the beach. Make sure to go to 25 degrees in HB for food.
ONLY MAJOR complaint is the reservation system– it’s totally flawed. We have logged in the exact minute you are able to book, but a site in the cart and then it’s gone on checkout. It’s a disaster, but if you can find a way to get a spot, I recommend it!

Beautiful views of HB. Very convient location next to down town restaurants, the pier, shops, and the beach Boardwalk. The parking lot camping atmosphere can be obscured by the fact that you are on the beach enjoying the ocean breezes, beautiful sunset views and scenes.
The City staff leaves you alone to enjoy your camping experience which can be great. This is definitely a plus but can also be a big detractor. Unfortunately Campers are not required to follow the laws here and the out of towners take full advantage of this fact — leash laws, smoking, loud music.
For instance, some of the campers feel entitled to allow their dogs to run amuck. I am a responsible dog owner and am not sure why the city chooses not to enforce the leash laws. Patrons who pay a sizable fee to stay here need to be reeled into compliance! It’s a no brainer and the folks on the boardwalk get it but for some unknown reason the campers don’t.
I love relaxed laws but why the heck should I have to pick up my leashed dog from the ground when approaching my rig to enter for the evening when some unleashed ignoramuses is ready to attack mine before we can get to safety? These group of individuals feel entitled to violate the law and be carefree… rEALLY?! It really irritates me that I live in this city, pay the taxes, and these «guests» feel more entitled and privileged than Anyone. Obey the laws or don’t come here.
Here’s one big recommendation, until the offenders can acquire civility and legal compliance, go away, we don’t want or need your tax dollars!

This place has really gone downhill since our visit last year. The daily price is up to $ 70/​$ 60 senior rate per day. This is very steep when you consider there is no cable, restrooms/​showers
and sewers. Homeless are all over the place now, and make there home at the bus stop directly above the RV parking. People walk thru your site, and the public has easy access to anything you leave out unlocked. Street noise is also very loud.
The beach view is nice, but there are many other campground choices to choose from that are way less money and offer a lot more than a parking lot experience!

What makes Sunset Vista awesome also is it’s downfall. The RV park is located just south of the world famous Huntington Beach Pier, between Pacific Coast Hwy and the ocean.
Currently there is a massive construction project called «the pacific» (huge outdoor mall, apartments and a high rise hotel) being built directly across from Sunset Vista RV. Construction promptly starts at 0630 AM!!! You hear the banging, beeps of trucks, welders ect… until about 4pm.
Because of the proximity to the pier and main street (and prob because there are free bathrooms and outside showers) there are a large number of transients loitering around. On multiple occasion I had dirty homeless guys walk into our camp and start rummaging through our trash cans looking for bottles and cans.
Also Sunset Vista RV is wide open and easily accessible to pedestrians who wish to walk along PCH and the beachside boardwalk. All the foot traffic makes me nervous leaving our bicycles, bbq grill, beach toys. ect unattended.
Due to the location and adjoining issues, I had to rank Sunset Vista 3 stars. My opinion is solely based on other experiences I have had staying at other similar camp grounds. For my money I think carpenteria state beach is a much better overall experience and value.
Good luck. Happy camping.

We spent 4 mid week nites in Monday out on Friday, parking lot camping, water and electric hook ups, dump station avalible. Walk to Pier shops resturants etc. Bus stop very noise, lots of homeless and weird drug users.
Make sure you lock up everything 2 people got there bikes stolen (expensive ones) use a case harden lock and chain, they are using cable cutters in the middle of the nite to steal your bikes when you are asleep, we saw several people on bikes casing the campground… To bad these crackhead meth users have ruined it for us we will never go back… Cops don’t seem to care eather…

This is a very good location for going to the beach, biking and to restaurants but, it is a parking lot and the city rapes you price wise. I stayed at Malibu beach RV Park the day before on a Sunday for 50 bucks, Saturday was 55 bucks and it is a beautiful place. This Huntington beach parking lot is 60 bucks and then they charge you another 10 bucks for taking your money and another 2.85 If you want to use your credit card. These people are a bunch of thieves. What a rip off. I will never go back.

Sunset vista RV is absolutely beautiful! It’s in thee primo spot!!! The young adults working there are extremely efficient, nice, knowledgable and accommodating!!! This was an excellent camping experience. It’s the beach so it’s noisy, but then again, it’s the beach.

I would have given this place a 5 star if you could stay there during the summer months and if you had RV sewer hook-​ups (they do have a dump station).
Location, location, location is all I can say! You are right on the beach and can see the Pier from the lot. It is a very short walk to any restaurant, bar or shops. The view can’t be beat. Waking up and looking out at the beach rocks!!!
Quiet hours were just that. Nobody was out of control and everyone was very nice.
My one suggestion, if you have an RV over 30′ stay away from the RV lots of 22 – 25 since they are very close to the bus stop and you can hear them in the morning as this RV park is right off PCH. Other than that we sleep like babies.

Incredible rv camping experience. Nothing like it in the world. You are right by beach where there are fire pits. You can walk to restaurants and shops. Incredible experience. Many campers are locals who come for a night or two to escape. I hope to return
