Before you book
Plan your stay
What we could confirm about rates, sites and rules, and what you’ll need to ask the office.
Our take: a modest, mostly monthly RV park by the border with full hookups, a pool and good transit, about 20 minutes from downtown San Diego. It’s set up for long-term residents, sites are tight, the freeways are close and nightly stays aren’t advertised, so call the office on a weekday before you plan around it.

The park’s own site lists only monthly rates, plus utilities. It doesn’t publish nightly or weekly rates; the nightly figure is the last one a Campendium user reported, in 2020, so call to confirm whether short stays are available. A military discount is offered; ask for the amount.
Prices are subject to change at any time and may vary by date, season and availability. For the latest pricing, check the park’s rates page or call (619) 428-4411.

La Pacifica RV Park is a privately run, all-ages RV park in San Ysidro that mainly rents sites by the month; long-term tenants apply through an online application in English or Spanish. Some directories call it La Pacifica RV Resort.
Best for
- Long-term stays: published monthly rates of $890–$935 plus utilities are low for San Diego.
- Car-free errands: a bus stops out front and the trolley is about half a mile away.
- Border trips: the San Ysidro crossing and Las Americas outlets are a mile or two away.
- Basics covered: full hookups up to 50 amp, laundry, hot showers, a pool and a clubhouse.
Consider this
- It’s mainly a monthly park; nightly stays aren’t advertised and must be confirmed by phone.
- Sites are close together, and a reviewer found the turns tight for a 30 ft trailer.
- The park is near I-5 and I-805 at the border, so expect freeway noise.
- A 2020 reviewer found the pool closed and no Wi-Fi or cable; ask what’s working now.
