What an absolutely incredible experience. Don makes the RV experience exceptional with everything that he does. First off, the RV was beautiful on arrival. Freshly washed and the tires were even shined. It looked like it should be on a new sales lot. Everything was included from top to bottom, show up with a suitcase and you are ready for the road. We took the RV to the KOA in San Diego and it provided a great basecamp to explore the city and play some golf at Torrey pines! Thanks again Don, I be can't recommend your RV enough.

How far in advance should I book an RV campground near Santee?

To guarantee your RV site—especially at Santee Lakes or popular spots along the coast—book 2–3 months in advance for busy seasons like spring and summer.

Are there any driving considerations unique to Santee and the San Diego area?

Santee is perfect for RVers—wide local streets and low traffic make navigation easy. Be alert on SR-52 and SR-67, where afternoon congestion can build near rush hour. Many campgrounds offer roomy sites, but downtown San Diego’s low bridges mean watch your clearance if you head south. Pro tip: Use Google Maps' ‘RV mode’ or check height clearances before city drives.
