2. RV parks in San Francisco Proper

Staying in San Francisco proper with your RV is going to be an urban RVing experience. If you’re looking for a camping experience that is more than parking your RV in a paved lot with some amenities, you’ll want to venture outside of San Francisco.

With so many people unable to afford traditional housing in the area, many people have purchased RVs, which makes finding a spot to park your RV short-term in San Francisco even more challenging. Boondocking is not advised, especially if you’re travelling with children. Getting a campsite or spot at an RV park is a much safer option.
