My favorite California beach RV park is in Malibu. It is called the Malibu Beach RV park. I haven't been in a while, but I plan to go back soon.
You didn't say when you were planning to travel, but don't worry this park is open year round. They have daily, weekly and monthly rentals available and you can choose from several levels of RV site amenities.
Some places I've visited while staying there were Zuma Beach and the Los Angeles area.
The Malibu Beach RV Park offers many activities such as surfing, kayaking and other water sports.

Dockweiler State Beach in Playa del Rey is right on the ocean. Leo Carrillo is in the Malibu area. Newport Beach Dunes has a wonderful RV park( I was there Saturday), San Onofre between L.A. and San diego, Doheny State Park is on the beach. Good luck. We have stayed in all of them over the years.

an theory would be Dockweiler sea coast that's merely S. of Venice by technique of the airport... they have RV areas & tenting. there is not any Wal mart everywhere around Venice or Santa Monica. there's a objective in Culver city yet i would not recommend you reside there. there is not any tenting international around right here the two. in case you have to be in a RV park with hookups i'd attempt vacationing the coast North & see in case you may get a niche at Leo Carillo or someplace interior of sight the place there are RV areas. in case you do no longer care approximately hookups - you ought to stay in one day in Santa Monica on the regular public sea coast lot. countless people do. extraordinarily those that stay of their RVs! uncertain that's the terrific place for a family individuals.

Depends on what you mean by LA area. If you mean the immediate LA area, there aren't many. Check out rvparkreviews.com to see the few that are in the LA area. There's Dockweiler (County beach, NOT state beach), which is right on the beach at Playa Del Rey. Then there's Malibu Beach RV Park, which is on the hill ABOVE the beach, across PCH. Technically, this is not on the beach, since you have to cross PCH to get to the beach. It's an older park with VERY tight spots, even for tent trailers. However, the sweeping views tend to make people forget about the other issues, like the grumpy managers, Stalinistic regulations, and the abundance of permanent residents with their associated clutter. That's it for LA County Beach Parks. I don't count Leo Carillo State Beach, it has no hookups (and it's on the north side of PCH, to boot).
Others, which are not on the beach, include East Shore, Featherly, Fairplex KOA, and a few in Anaheim.
If you are interested in RV parks within 100 miles, your possibilities open up quite a bit. From LA south to San Diego:
Newport Dunes: The Cadillac of RV parks. But the prices are at least double that of the state parks. If I wanted to spend that much, I'd get a hotel room.
Doheney State Beach: No hookups, but you are right on the beach. Plan your life 6-7 months in advance, because this is popular.
San Clemente State Beach: Once again, no hookups, and you are on the bluffs above the beach.
San Onofre State Beach: Unless you are a HARD CORE surfer, this is not a good place to camp. Camped here once, never again. You are 10 feet from the RR tracks, 20 feet from I-5. If you're lucky, you get to be right next to the border checkpoint, with flashing lights all night. And it's 1/4 mile walk
to the beach. Loud teens and twenty-somethings up late, and no ranger enforcement of quiet time. Great if you're a college-aged person and want to surf and party, but rotten for families.
South Carlsbad SB: Not a bad campground, but no hookups. On the bluffs above the beach. Great for whale watching during migration season.
San Elijo SB: Same as South Carlsbad, but with HOOKUPS in a few sites. Once again, you need to be on reserveamerica.com on the first of the month, six months in advance.
Campland on the Bay: Private campground on the north end of Mission Bay. Close to Sea World. Excellent location, lots of organized activities, but you pay for it. Full amenities here, like Newport Dunes: Water, electric, sewer, cable, good camp store. It has everything, and is close to Sea World.
Now, let's travel northward from LA County to Santa Barbara:
Point Mugu State Park, which consists of Broome State Beach and Sycamore Canyon. No hookups. Thornhill Broome campground is on the beach. This is a lonely bit of windswept beach, near a naval base. The nice part is that it's less crowded. However, that's because of the wind.
Mc Grath SB: Nice enough campground, no hookups. However, about 1/4 mile walk to beach across dunes.
Emma Wood SB: No hookups here, but you can park right by the water, which crashes against the rocks on the breakwater.
Carpinteria: Now we're talking. This has sites with hookups, as well as non-hookup sites. The best area is Santa Rosa, which has full hookups. San Miguel has water and electric, but no sewer. If you have a rig about 24' or less, then try to get beach row in Santa Rosa. If you have a longer rig, up to 30', you will need to camp in Long Row. This is one of the most popular campgrounds in the State (along with San Elijo)
El Capitan and Refugio State Beach: Neither has hookups, but they are very nice campgrounds about 2 miles apart. Refugio is on the beach level, and El Cap is on the bluffs above the beach.
That's about it, have fun!
Good luck!

Try the South Carlsbad State Beach, it's really great and directly on the beach.

If you have AAA, they should have guidebooks.
