Two San Diego Area RV Parks Fined $750,000

Several years ago, we were down in San Diego to take care of a recall matter involving my 2015 Winnebago Minnie Winnie and to go to Sea World.

While there, we stayed at Campland on the Bay for a night. I wasn't too impressed with it as it seemed to be a glorified asphalt parking lot, especially considering the price per night they charged.

Well, the California Coastal Commission isn't too impressed with Campland and another RV park either.

They were both fined for signage misleading people to think the public beaches they're on are private.

SF Gate reported:

Two RV parks along the California coast have been penalized three-quarters of a million dollars after a government agency said that the public was misled to believe its adjacent beaches were private, as reported by KGTV San Diego. 

Campland on the Bay and Mission Bay RV Resort allegedly had signs surrounding the properties stating that beach access was private and for use by their guests only. 

The California Coastal Commission reached a settlement with the parks, which are both public trust state tidelands, to ensure the surrounding area knows the beaches are available for all.
