San Francisco RV Resort - Thousand Trails

As other reviews have mentioned, this RV resort is basically a parking lot. You will be within a few feet, if lucky, of your neighbors. This is the only downside of the resort.

The reason we selected SFRVR was to be close to San Fran and do all of the touristy stuff and this was the perfect spot to stay for that.

The playground was closed as they will be rebuilding it, but the pool was open ​and heated to 88 degrees so it can be used even on the cool coast.

We were also super lucky to be put next to fantastic neighbors that had kids the same age as ours, and we hung out many evenings with them.

Face it, if you want to stay in your RV near a place like San Francisco, you have to expect a parking lot with utilities. We have a 43' Forest River with four slides and there were zero issues opening them up and moving about. I suspect those who are having problems don't really understand the best way to set up their rigs. Those of you familiar with Orlando: the parking is a lot like the side by side sites in the A section.

The water pressure is good, the electricity was constant, and the ocean view is spectacular. It's too bad they lost a bunch of the park to erosion, but it is a 60' cliff right against the ocean so it's not surprising.

We have two dogs and had no problems walking them. There are dog walking areas with plenty of space for the pooches to do their business.

Being so close to the city was amazing and having a Safeway withing walking distance is always nice. Cell reception is great and there were plenty of over-the-air channels. The laundry is good and reasonably priced. The store/office is only open until 4pm which is a tad annoying, but you work with what you have.

Noise is an issue unless you're used to traffic noise. We lived up against the I-95/I-64 interchange for 15 years and have a well insulated rig so for us it wasn't a problem. Some will find it intolerable. No trains, but the airport has a flight path over the campground. However, the planes are a few thousand feet up so not a huge problem.

Warning as you travel: just a few miles south and AT&T has dead zones. Verizon is pretty consistently good through the whole area.

It's early December, so the weather is kind of lousy and the wind is blowing pretty hard, causing the rig to rock. Can't put out the awning unless we want to damage it. Glad we have the thermal package otherwise heating/condensation might be an issue.

Expensive for smaller spots in a parking lot, with good hook ups, but the views and relatively close access to San Francisco cannot be beat for the area. Uber/Lyft accessible. Short walk to food, ice cream, coffee. Picnic table, no fire ring. Laundry, restrooms, showers and RV supplies in the main building. Grassy areas for pet relief. Friendly staff, and we will stay here again in the future.

I was really looking forward to this park, but was let down upon arrival. The staff were nice, clean facilities, park, pool, laundry - all were great! However, we were disappointed that we were stuck in the middle of all the residents with zero view. I appeared that the south end was the residents area and the north end were the passerby’s. Also, at no fault to the park, erosion has taken over and your views and access to the ocean have been taken away as big gates were set up for the safety of everyone. Another positive is that the town is cute and you are very close to the city if you’re looking to visit. Staff at SF resort even give you info on transportation options to and from the city.

This was our first visit to the San Francisco area and this park was appealing because we only had to pay $20 a night with our TT membership. While checking in I heard the clerk on the phone quote $115 per night. Over priced in my opinion.

As the other reviews state its simply a parking lot with narrow spaces, took us some maneuvering to get lined up perfectly so we could open both slides without "going over" the lines on each side of the space. Luckily our neighbors were very nice so it wasn't as uncomfortable as it could have been.

That said this "RV parking lot" is right on the water. There is even a dog friendly beach about half a mile walk along the water's edge. Mind you that its a cliff and there has been some erosion, fencing in place for safety, but the views are awesome. We spent one afternoon watching whales breach, dolphins swim back and forth in the surf and an amazing sunset.

Proximity to San Francisco wasn't too bad. We went to the city a couple of times in the afternoon and it took about 20-30 minutes to get to the Golden Gate Bridge with traffic. We chose to drive and take the dog but our RV neighbors used Uber for about $45 round trip.

Laundry and restrooms were very clean. $2.50 to wash and 12 minutes of drying time for 25 cents. Cell signal was excellent for Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile.

Although the park is very tight everyone on staff was very friendly and all the common areas were very well kept. We enjoyed our stay here and will likely consider it again if ever in the San Francisco area.

We really enjoyed this park. Especially the proximity to San Francisco. It's a quick train ride into the city and is located near shops and restaurants.

It can get very windy, the laundry is a little pricey and the sites are very close together. Otherwise it had everything we needed. A great location, clean bath houses, free wifi in the country store and pay as you go wifi at the sites. Good amenities like a children's park, pic-nic tables, a pool, and a jacuzzi. The staff was friendly and helpful too.

We would definitely stay here again. If you end up booking this campground be sure to check out Half Moon Bay which is a quick drive down the road from the campground.

As I prepared for our time in San Francisco, I researched a ton of RV parks/state parks. I decided on this one since it seemed to be the “best”. It is so grossly overpriced, look for another option. It is a parking lot with no room for chairs, other’s slides, bike parking, etc. I nearly hit the neighbors slide as I walked to my truck. The claim is that it’s close to SF, which it is from a mileage perspective and if there weren’t any traffic. As many of you know, the traffic can be difficult to get anywhere fast. So, don’t assume that this location will get you to the downtown area quickly. When we go to SF again, we will look to the east, north, and even farther south. We would have been better off driving farther than paying these prices.
