Golden Shore RV Resort - Downtown Long Beach camping!

[SoloMatt]

Hey everyone!

Well... I'm back in LA County now doing some business and found myself a nice little campsite in downtown Long Beach. Definitely a stark contrast to the boondocking and forest camping I've been doing but a really clean, well kept and centrally located campground.... great place to get some work done.

Here's the vid!

Looks nice, but why don't you add in what the fees are so those interested will know.

Welcome - Golden Shore RV Resort

Link sez $55-68/ night. That's not bad for the area, but they were dated March 2013.

It went by real fast at about 1:50 when showing the sign for Westin hotel, etc. but he said he paid $45 a night.

[SoloMatt]

Yeah, I actually did mention my rate, which was based on the weekly rate divided by 7. At one point I considered putting the rates in the video descriptions but I've noticed that, especially at private rv parks, the rates fluctuate greatly so I thought it might just confuse people!

In any case, I paid about 330 or so for the week and I found it to be worth it! I'd return.

Thanks for checking out the video!

$45 seems like a pretty good deal for all of the amenities you get there and for the convenience of the location. What we find when traveling is that we like to stay in the USFS, BLM, state, county and NP campgrounds as much as possible but every once in awhile splurge a little on a full service private enterprise RV park. It's nice to stop occasionally at a place like this to get caught up on laundry, emails, grocery shopping, sight seeing, etc. We'd consider this a very fancy RV park! You do always get a better deal if you stay a week although we rarely take advantage of that fact, liking more rustic camping for the most part. Thanks for showing this side of the RV experience, Matt.

Great video & looks like a wonderful place to spend a week! Thanks for all the info.
Noticed the awning you have for an egg camper. Could you share where you got the awning?

Nice video. Thanx Matt.

That looks great for a city top up, thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Matt! What a huge change from the expected! And what an interesting prospect, when taking a break from boondocking, to stay in the middle of a city rather than the outskirts.

Victoria BC.....Fort Victoria RV Park....hundreds of sites....264/week...all services...only downside is WiFi won't work for for Youtube or any other video downloads like news sites

interestingly being close to the freeway there is always SOME highway/traffic noise....thought that would be a drawback at first but it actually drowns out all other noise (in this parked close together situation) so it actually makes the place "quieter" at night than it otherwise would be....yeah, I know sounds strange but that's the way it seems/feels

been here 5 weeks...got somebody in hospital down here......(my fun time, escape into the bush, play thing has turned into my "house" for a while)

That's pretty much my philosophy, as well. Always nice to find a centrally located, well appointed park to get work done and get caught up on chores. Not to mention, most of the state parks around here are at least $45 and even more if there are hookups!

Hi Julie! Thanks for checking out the vid! My awning is a Fiamma F45 s, which is what Casita uses for their factory installed awnings. I love it! It's super easy to setup/take down and provides welcome shade in the california heat. Just gotta be careful in the wind, as it can be damaged more easily than I'd like.

That's the perfect term for what it is... a great city top up! Thanks for checking out the vid!

I totally get what you're saying about the traffic noise, there's a park on the beach near Oxnard that is known to have party people around but the sound of the ocean combined with the sound of the traffic passing by on Hwy 1 provides just the right amount of white noise to drown that out. Sorry you have someone in the hospital but glad you found yourself a nice little accomodation to be nearby and still feel at home!
