We spent 3 days at Del Mar Fairgrounds RV park. The fairgrounds are next to the San Dieguito River which rises and falls with the tide as it empties into the Pacific Ocean.

This is the best kept secret in the south coast. RV park manager Juan was a great host. Always around to answer questions or assist in any way. The fairgrounds have always something going on which made our stay eventful (always something to do). This will be a regular stop for our family.

I can’t say enough about Juan who is the manager of the RV area. He is kind and courteous and always welcoming.
We are from Canada and have stayed here 3 years in a row and wouldn’t park anywhere else.
The river is right next the sites and it’s about a 20 minute walk to the beach.
If you are here for Fairground events or the Race Track then this is your spot. You are literally steps away.
Easy on and off to the Hwys and lots of great places to eat near.
We always felt Very secure and comfortable no loud parties, everyone is very respectful.
Can’t wait till next year!

Camping behind the Del Mar racetrack is probably San Diego's best hidden secret. The RV spots are located on the south side of the racetrack grounds and are less than 100' from the entrance to the lagoon. Each RV spot comes with power and connections for sewage and water. The staff is very knowledgeable about the area and incredibly friendly. Depending on what activity that the fairgrounds is hosting you'll have a front row seat for the activity. My son and I love bringing the RV down for the Fred Hall Fishing show as well as the Good Guys Car Show. I highly recommend this off the beaten path campground.

Work brings us here a few times a year and we really like it. Good view and lots of room for the kids and pets to play. Juan is super helpful and is around if you need him. Definitely worth the money.

This by far is a gem! Juan was a wonderful camp host! We were parked in the second lot near the race track. It was super quiet and clean. The 50 amp connection is not standard. You will need an adapter from Juan. We have a 41ft 5th wheel and had plenty of room. We will definitely be back!

We stayed here in March while on a RV trip across America and we stopped in San Diego to visit family. The fairgrounds is just a parking lot, but it served our needs well. It was in a great location and had the amenities we needed such as FHU, laundry and showers. The wifi was great, which was very important to us. Verizon and T-mobile worked great. Yes, the train goes by all day and night, but it didn't bother us at all. It wasn't crowded, which was very nice for our stay. This is NOT a "campground" or anything of the sort if that's the experience you're looking for, but it was perfect for us at the time. I was actually thankful that the fairgrounds makes this available outside of their fair dates. I saw a security guard driving around in a golf cart and there is a camp host on site. The only negative would be that the showers were run down and dirty looking. I did see someone cleaning them, though.

Juan was great and very helpful. Call first for directions because gps puts you elsewhere. Train runs by constantly, but it’s fast speed, so no worries. You choose your own spot, which is great. River is across the lot from your spot, and I-5 is next door. Very nice for the price 😊

Wow! What an amazing find! The RV Park Manager, Juan, was super accommodating and went not just one extra mile, but 10! We were super impressed with the service that we received! If anyone wants top notch treatment...go to this hidden jewel in beautiful Del Mar at the fairgrounds!
