![]() ![]() So, you get regular car and train traffic on the east side of your rig. This is really the #1 draw of being here! However you are also right by Hwy 1 and the railroad tracks. You are RIGHT by the ocean with FULL ocean views and the sound of waves crashing right at your RV doorstep. ![]() This is an amazing ocean location, except for a few key “gotchas”. There is on-site trash and 2 porta-porties along the length of the Parkway, but nothing else. Nothing much in terms of facilities here. So, if you can’t nab one of the big sites near the north end and/or can’t fit in the sites near the south end, consider taking a site next to a trash can. ![]() ![]() Sites next to trash bins have cleared (no parking allowed) space around them which makes it easier to get your rig in/out. More Big Rig Site Tips: In the middle sites it’s possible for big rigs to get “boxed in” if people park both in front of and behind you. I personally think these are the nicest sites in the Parkway. This opens up views a bit, and also means it’s *possible* to fit a bigger rig by placing your rig wheel on the very edge of the asphalt (door opens to slice of sand) with your tow directly next to it. South End Sites: Towards the very southern end of the Parkway (sites #112-127) the sea wall is lower and there are small “sitting area” slices of sand between the edge of the parking site and the sea wall.Not much space to “sit” outside your rig here either and some ocean views are partially blocked by the sea wall. This is a fine area for smaller rigs, but it’s very difficult for larger rigs since it’s impossible to fit your rig plus tow side-by-side and still be able to open your RV door (we tried and failed). Middle Sites:Towards the middle of the Parkway (sites #18 to #112 or so) the sites are single-wide (~20 feet wide only) and are mostly bounded by a large(r) rocky sea-wall towards the ocean side.You can always unhook and scout further down from here if you wish, but this is absolutely the best/easiest area for larger rigs. If you are 40-foot or larger I suggest stopping here at the very first open site you see. North End Sites:Towards the beginning of the Parkway (northernmost end, sites #5-#17) the sites are located by a high concrete sea-wall and are “double-wide” (~40+ foot wide) meaning you can easily fit a larger rig plus tow next to it.The only real differences between sites are site widths: There are no hookups, no privacy or separation, no dedicated “sitting areas”, no fire pits and you are nose-to-tail with your neighbors. Sites are parking pads separated by painted white lines, all exactly 45-feet long and the rangers are *very* strict about parking everything you own within those white lines (no overhang allowed anywhere, not even into the bike lane). On the west side you have the sea wall + ocean and on the east side you are directly next to Hwy 1 and the coastal railroad tracks. The entire Parkway is basically just one long ~1.5 mile stretch of asphalt parking spaces along an ocean sea wall. This park used to be entirely first-come-first-serve, but is now on a reservation system ( see this link) and although the views are amazing, the sites themselves are very, very basic. The south entrance faces you the wrong way. Note/ When driving to Rincon Parkway, enter from the NORTH (exit 78 on Hwy 101, Skyline) so that you can park with your RV door facing the ocean side.
