Join us to walk the paths of Marina Park, watch the shorebirds dine at low tide, enjoy beautiful sunsets and laugh and play. We will catch up on chapter members and chapter news and get ready for the RVW National Convention in Mesa, Arizona, where our chapter will be hosting the first-timers’ breakfast.
Campsites are $37/night. Chula Vista RV Resort is a full-service park with a pool/spa, small store, propane, laundry, showers and restrooms, a picnic area with tables and barbeques, four pet stop areas, 24-hour security and a shuttle that will take you to the Red Trolley Line.
