Newport Dunes RV Resort

Newport Dunes RV park is the best place to stay in SoCal. The park’s location is amazing. You are walking distance from Balboa Island (you must get a Balboa Bar - yummy!), there are great walking/running/biking trails outside your door at the Back Bay or Beach to Mountains trails, and you are close to Newport Beach, Huntington Beach ... more
