Disneyland's fireworks go up over the parked rigs at Anaheim Harbor RV Park, and you watch them from the fire pits and the gazebo with the kids too wired to sleep. In the morning nobody packs a bag or hunts for a parking structure. You leave the motorhome where it is, slides still out, and walk down Harbor Boulevard to the gates.
The rig earns its keep in the middle of the day. When the lines and the heat catch up with everyone, you walk back for lunch out of your own fridge, naps in the bunks, and a swim in the heated pool, then head back in for the evening. Anaheim Harbor is open year round, and the pool closes only when rain is expected.
Reserve the site first and rent the motorhome to fit it, because the pad decides the class. Most spaces take a rig up to 40 feet including the hitch, slides and all, but every site is back-in only and the Deluxe sites get harder to back into past 35 feet. Each one has full hookups with water, sewer and 30 or 50 amp power at the back of the pad, so pack a sewer hose that reaches 25 feet. A dump station on site takes care of the last morning.
If Anaheim Harbor is full for your dates, Orangeland RV Park in neighboring Orange runs the same kind of week, with full-hookup sites near Disneyland, a heated pool and spa, and citrus trees growing between the sites. It's close to Angel Stadium too, so in baseball season an Angels game can fill a night off from the parks.
If it's just two of you, or a long back-in sounds like a bad start to a vacation, a smaller rental opens up the Anaheim campervan trip to Canyon RV Park at Featherly Regional Park, on the Santa Ana River bikeway. For a night at the beach before the week ends, Bolsa Chica State Beach belongs to the Huntington Beach RV page.
Sequoia and Kings Canyon on CA-180, from a Dunlap base
After the parks, the same motorhome can take the family north to the giant sequoias. The run goes up CA-99 through the Central Valley to Fresno, then climbs east on CA-180 into Kings Canyon, and it ends among sequoia trunks standing on both sides of the highway, with the rig parked in the Grant Grove village lot beside the market. It's a long haul and a quieter choice than another week in Orange County, and summer is the time to go, once the snow is off the side roads.
Sleep outside the gate and drive in by day. Sequoia RV Park on Kings Canyon Road in Dunlap calls itself the closest RV park before the park's north entrance, which puts it at the Big Stump end of the drive and makes it the base for every night of the trip. Book that pad before you book the rig, since the whole plan hangs on it.
Come in on CA-180 and leave the same way. The Park Service advises against vehicles over 22 feet on the Generals Highway (CA-198) between Potwisha and the Giant Forest Museum, and against anything over 24 feet from the Foothills Visitor Center to Potwisha, as of September 2026. It points longer vehicles to the Big Stump entrance on Highway 180 instead. Beyond the village lot, it keeps RV spaces at the General Grant Tree and at the Big Stump and Columbine picnic areas, so a day among the big trees never has to end in a search for somewhere to park. Yosemite and the rest of the Sierra belong to the California RV page.
