Shelter Cove RV Park & Deli

Shelter Cove, CA • Elevation: 60 ft

That’s a first – “deli” as part of an RV park’s title, but it was good, especially the fish & chips.

However, the 24-mile road into the park was, well, problematic. Our 31-foot Class A (without towing a car) is as big as I’d suggest on this road. Here’s my review from RV Life:

First, let’s talk about the road into the campground that’s giving the willies to a lot of reviewers. Well, I wouldn’t want to drive our former 40-foot Newmar towing a Jeep over this road. However, our current 31-foot Class A (Honda CRV toad detached) did just fine. While the road was challenging in spots, my wife and I have driven far worse. That said, the most problematic road element was elevation change. The road starts at 350 feet or so and ends at 65 feet, but along the way elevation goes up to 2100 feet and then rapidly back down again. Hard on the brakes. We stayed in site RV12 facing the Pacific. Wonderful! We had full hookups with 30A electric. The campground deli is very good (loved the fish & chips) and the park’s staff was friendly and helpful. We camped at Shelter Cove RV Park & Campground in a Motorhome.

Camping next to a small airport was kind of a treat. Small single-engine planes landed everyday, usually just one or two, but a half dozen on the weekend. Fun to watch.

But just being able to watch the waves and the moonlight on the Pacific Ocean from inside our motorhome was the best.
