Camping here offers a mix of urban convenience and natural serenity, making it ideal for those wanting a blend of city access and peaceful rest. Richard, the host, is lauded for his responsiveness and helpfulness, contributing to a safe and welcoming environment. The steep driveway and tight parking may pose a challenge, especially for larger vehicles, and there's occasional noise from nearby freeways and construction. However, the affordable pricing and the proximity to Los Angeles make it a practical choice for budget-conscious campers looking to explore the area.

Perfect affordable stopover in LA
20 ft campervan · With pets ·
Campsite 12 miles to DT Los Angeles
For a stopover in LA, this is an affordable, convenient, and comfortable option! The pictures in the listing explain it exactly so you know what to expect. Richard was quick to reply with any questions I had and it was a relatively safe neighborhood for Los Angeles. The area felt safe to walk my dogs in and was surprisingly quiet. Next time I’m in the area, I’ll hope this stay has availability and I would recommend it to others.

Exactly what I was looking for. 10/10 experience and would stay again if in the area
We had a really great stay at this spot. Richard was very responsive and a pleasure to communicate with throughout our stay.
We felt safe the entire time, and the location is excellent—very close to East LA, Downtown Los Angeles, and the San Gabriel Valley, which has some of the best Asian food around.
The driveway is definitely steep and a bit intimidating at first, but we made it up and down without any issues in our 25-foot Class C motorhome. Overall, we’d happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it.

Campsite 12 miles to DT Los Angeles
My experience with the host was excellent. We ran into traffic on the day of our arrival and to the site in the dark. There definitely was room for my 24' class C RV. It took a 5 pt turn in the crowded cul-de-sac to get the required straight on approach between 2 brick walls at the private drive entrance. I had clearance for both side mirrors and not much else, but I've driven in Florence, Italy, so narrow didn't bother me. I knew I would have plenty of room to turn around at the parking spot below. I did read about the uneven condition of the drive, but if there were pics, I missed those. I am not unused to driving on rough terrain, so i wasn't worried. I am uncomfortable with uneven, rough AND narrow. Perhaps it is less ominous in daylight. I couldn't open my door to go walk down to check it out. I chickened out and chose back out narrow brick walls over continuing on. We were so late and it was entirely our fault we lost contact with our host. He called us the next day and apologized. If we are in the area again, I would give it another try in daylight because it looks like a great quiet spot with a very pleasant, responsive host. The price is so reasonable for the area.

Campsite 12 miles to DT Los Angeles
Richard was very kind and responsive! There was a clean porta potty on-site. There was also access to a water hose and 15amp circuit with an extension cord since we had kids and really needed it. Driveway was steep but we were able to manage with a 2 wheel drive nissan titan in low gear just fine! Very peaceful neighborhood and beautiful property! Parking is a bit tight but we were still able to squeeze in a 20ft trailer and back into an available spot. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone wanting to camp near LA for a reduced rate!
Very convenient location. Good communication. I will stay there again.

Super convenient and amazingly priced! Previous reviews mentioned the steep incline to the site, but it was easy to get in and out of in my van (ford transit), and the site itself was super easy to park at.
Definitely will stay again!

Everything needs to be improved the road to get there and the parking spot is like a dump
Lotta noise from the freeway and from before starting the track I’ll never go back there

It was a great spot for me. My job was 20min away so it was convenient and a decent price for camping. Richard was helpful and made sure everything was ok. Jim and Tim were cool people and also helpful. I would recommend this spot, and thank you fellas for the good conversations 👍

Campsite 12 miles to DT Los Angeles
I was so thankful to find this spot. I was in the area for work for 2+ weeks, and as somebody that normally boondocks in forests I couldn't rationalize $100+ night rv resorts. Richard was quick to respond to our request to book, and provided all the information we needed to get there late in the night. We were surprised to have an extension cord for a 15a plug, which really was a nice bonus. The property is secure, and I felt comfortable leaving our rig while I was away at work during the day. We didn't have the opportunity to meet Richard directly, but he was super quick to respond to questions I had while there. We were also surprised to learn we could do laundry on site. The dryer is free, and the washer is 85 cents (3 quarters and a dime). The only downside is that the alley going down to the property is VERY tight and steep. We didn't have a problem getting down, but coming back up we had a clearance issue coming back onto the street. There's a slight dip where the alley levels down to the street and we had to use traction boards and our leveling blocks to keep our rearend high enough to clear our poop tube. If you have low clearance, just be aware and prepared to take some extra steps on your way out. I read some reviews about trucks being parked in the alley while folks were doing work on the property, but I can't complain because the guys working were always super quick to get their things moved out of the way when I was coming and going. Overall, a great experience
Richard was welcoming. The area is nice and quiet with a few friendly neighbors. Portable potty was clean and area is safe. I will definitely be coming back.
This is a great little hidden spot. There's construction stuff around but still plenty of space to camp. Very quiet
I had plans in Venice and Seal Beach. This was a decent safe place to leave my camper trailer while I was out during the day and the area is pretty quiet so I slept well at night.

LA Campsite 12 mile to DTLA
Richard the host is great. He was there when I checked in and made sure I was good. The main hiccup I had was, on the reservation it says electric hook ups. Which there is, but only 15 amp. So for campers/rv’s, it’d be good to tell them its 15 amp, not 30 or 50 amp so they don’t think they’ll have access to normal power they’re used to. For the price in LA, it was good and got the job done for a few days.

For me it was a great location. Within minutes of my 15 relatives. Close to everything, stores highway, bike trails. And Dump station. The price is right for what it is.
Hard to find a place in the LA area, this was a welcome find. Nice quiet safe area, and met a couple friendly neighbors. As others have mentioned, the driveway is steep but our 24ft 9” low clearance RV made it up and down safely.

RV LA Campsite 12 miles to DTLA
Great stay. Close to everything and very safe. People were friendly and helpful
This is a different type of site than we are used it. It's basically a VERY steep driveway down behind a bunch of houses and into a gravel lot with trailers and vehicles parked throughout. Can fit multiple rigs, but it's tight, especially getting in and out. We were able to drive both up and down the driveway with our 25' Sprinter-based RV and towing a Jeep Wrangler 2 door. Easier to unhook/hook up on the street, but doable at the bottom if not fully booked.
Security cameras are located throughout. Neighborhood seems good. There's a walking trail just on the other side of the fence (not sure how to access it, though).
This location was a last-minute choice as we decided while driving past LA to camp and explore. Our host, Richard, got back to our booking request quickly, which allowed us to start heading over right away.
We explored most of Central LA and east while there. We then booked Dockweiler's RV Park on the other side of LA so we could explore that side of the city. I think splitting it up like that, if you have the time, is the best way to explore all of LA.
We would stay again if we need a spot on the east side of LA.
Its al small RV camp and not easy to find. To enter the place you have to enter a narrow road which is very steep. But there is water and electricity and the price is nice. Going to LA with a Uber is not to expensive. But if you want a easy campsite with a full hookup then you have to look elsewhere and pay a lot more.

We had a wonderful stay! The host was very responsive and easy to get in touch with, which made the experience smooth and stress-free. He even came by to personally greet us on our first night, which was a thoughtful touch. The location was not too far from downtown LA and was perfect for our RV stay. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

Secure spot in a nice neighborhood

RV LA Campsite 12 miles to DTLA
Richard is an excellent host. The directions he provided were very clear and led us to our spot. There is a hill to go down as others described but wasn’t an issue for us. Richard supplied us with electric and water- which was much appreciated. There is laundry available (at no additional cost) and access to the CLEAN porta potty. The neighborhood is very nice and we felt secure with the additional security cameras in the property. Richard communicated with us throughout or stay and made us feel welcomed and well cared for ! Thank you Richard- would recommend to others planning to visit the area.
We had a great time during our two-night stay here. Even though it’s a private backyard campsite attached to someone’s home, everything exceeded our expectations. It had all the essentials - full hookups, affordable pricing, and a rare perk: campfires are allowed, which is hard to find near downtown LA or in the city. It’s definitely a great value for the price. We really enjoyed our time, and the host was super helpful too! :)
My mom and I really enjoyed our stay at Richard’s. Besides having everything an actual campsite would have, there were some other great amenities. Definitely worth staying here and would stay here again.
