[…] Two years ago, we stayed at Mission Bay RV park, located right inside city limits. While the park is literally a parking lot (with full hookups and a few trees), you can’t beat the location. There isn’t a lot of space between you and your neighbors but in this case, we were willing to sacrifice outdoor camping space for the location. As an added bonus, DeAnza Cove Park is right outside the RV Park gate. It’s a large public park open for outdoor activities with flat walking trails, perfect for Opie to strengthen his legs and build up his endurance. Since Mission Bay provides a 50% discount for monthly stays during their “winter season”, we decided to settle into the warm weather for five weeks — one at Sweetwater Regional Park just outside San Diego, and then our half-price month (April 2019) at Mission Bay.

In reply to Charnee Landmeier. Oh wow, is Sept too early to start getting snow in Breckenridge? Sounds like the views would be spectacular! We really did enjoy San Diego and you're right, it is easy to forget about how Mission Bay feels due to the amazing location! I will definitely let you know if we head over to Breckenridge or Vail in September.

We always loved our visits to San Diego before the RV. There is nothing like beach time. This May we were at Chula Vista and Mission Bay with the RV and agree you can’t beat the location of Mission Bay. It was easy to forget about that parking lot feel of the park when you have so many places from there to escape. We are going to be in Breckenridge the 2nd week of September and planning on going to the Oktoberfest in Vail village on the 16th. If you both get away for any side trips from Denver to Breckenridge or Vail, let us know.

In reply to Laurel. I agree, Mission Bay is great for location, I think we'd lean to staying there in the winter/off-season than during summer though. The price difference is significant (especially for a month stay) and less crowds makes it much more attractive to us.

In reply to Laura. True, we've never heard a bad thing about San Diego (except the cost of living, everything is expensive there!). It's a fun place to visit, can't wait to hear about when you visit and what you think of it.

In reply to Vicki. Vicki, it is definitely a great place to stay if you want to explore San Diego. We love Santee Parks as a place to camp but it's just too far to drive into San Diego often. Mission Bay RV Park is definitely crazy busy on the weekends in the summer though! We look forward to trying the RV park in the winter when it's not so crowded. I do hope you make it to San Diego, it's a fun place to visit.

We loved our six-week stay in San Diego a couple of years ago, although we were staying with family and in Airbnb accommodations while having work done on our trailer. One of these days we’ll have to give Mission Bay a try, just for the location. Opie looks like he had a blast! So many great beaches—and the “meat roaff” looks delicious. Lucky dog. :-)

I have never heard anyone say a single bad thing about San Diego. It just seems like one of those few universally loved places. I’m sure the weather helps. And the beaches. And the neighborhoods. And the food. And the mentality. And and and…. I can’t wait to go check it out! Glad you guys had fun!

Mission Bay seems to have that special, “location, location, location” factor. Sounds like the perfect place to say if we make it to San Diego.

In reply to Dave & Diane.

LOL, that’s cause you’re from the West Coast. I’m sure there are parts of CA where the folks are not so laid-back, but I’m from the East Coast/DC where things are not so relaxed. Course the driving in San Diego is a WHOLE ‘nuther story, CRAZY drivers!!

People seem pretty relaxed in San Diego but I’d say the beautiful weather and all the beach/water probably helps a lot. If you’re ever in the area, definitely give it a shot, there are some beautiful spots to visit in San Diego. We did enjoy it a lot but that’s also due to so many dog-friendly places we could visit.
