Like everything else in the area, the sites are expensive, especially considering the limited base facilities. However, the park is in good shape, and free laundry is a great benefit! We used the RV wash on the way in. $2 got us 4 minutes of time. Just like self-serve car washes, be careful to listen for the beeps announcing the last minute. If you get there in time you can extend 2 minutes for another dollar. The sites are all clean and well-maintained. The kids enjoyed playing at the playground almost every day and the beach a few times. We took advantage of the ITT office to obtain discounted admission for Medieval Times, Legoland, and the Pirate Dinner. The small shoppette was nice, but we really miss having a gas station on base. Package delivery worked great when UPS or FedEx were involved; they came right to our door. However, Amazon likes to use Ontrac in this area. The Ontrac people weren't familiar with the base and didn't have access. After failed attempts to get them to call us and meet outside one of the gates, we had to drive 30+ minutes to Compton to retrieve our package. There are several Amazon Locker locations close to the base. You might want to consider using one of those if you want to be sure to get your package in a reasonable time. Concerning gate times: at check-in we were given the gate schedule mentioned below: Westminster M-F 0530-1730, Main all other times. However, during our 3-week stay there have been numerous times when they didn't follow the schedule. The first time we turned right towards the main gate on a weekend, we found they had decided to use the weekday schedule for whatever reason. Westminster was the only open gate prior to 1730 that Saturday, and after 1730 the main gate was open. Bottom line, don't be surprised if the gate schedule varies with or without a ship in port. Before turning right out of the park with your big rig, make sure you don't see the bollards in front of the main gate. Overall this was a good place to stay and visit the LA area. We'd come back again if passing through.

Back again as part of our annual visit to relatives in the area. We really love this RV Park. It's kept up very well with great landscaping. The rates are "acceptable", considering the prime location it's at. No commissary, exchange, fuel, etc. on base, but there is a small shoppette and barber. There is a small gym. Close to all of the other stores you'll need. They've done a good job of keeping the RV Park looking good with the long-term campers. No more sheds, fences, planters, etc. This place is getting more popular, so reservations are almost always a must - even in their "off" season. Free laundry and the free WiFi was real good for us. We did need to learn the gate schedule. The back (commercial) gate is open during the weekdays with the main gate closed. After 1730hrs and on weekends, the main gate is open and the back gate closed. We'll be back.

Just some updated information about base access. There has been some confusion about which gate to enter the base through. There are 2 gates. The Westminster gate is the truck gate (OK for cars too). This gate is open 5:30 AM until 5:30 PM, Monday thru Friday. It is also open one weekend per week during drill weekends (usually the 3rd weekend). My suggestion is to always go to the Main gate on Seal Beach Blvd. if it is after 1730 or a weekend. At least you will be able to turn a large rig around there if you must then go to the truck gate. The RV park is much easier to get into since May of 2016 when long term stays were changed. If your stay has a holiday in it, make sure you reserve 2 months ahead. If there is no holiday you can usually reserve space a few days ahead. Space numbers are not pre-assigned. There are 85 large paved spaces with 25 being pull-thru. You may not get a pull-thru though have requested one. All have full hook-ups.

Can't express what a great place this is. Lots of large sites with full hook-ups. The facilities are well maintained, bathrooms clean, free laundry and free ice for campers. Was very quiet the whole week we were there and the staff were visible and courteous. Didn't have any problems with our reservation and check-in took less than 10 minutes. The main gate was open every time we wanted to enter/leave and the gate staff was friendly and professional. Used this as a base to explore LA and it's environs. Got our Universal Studios tickets at the recreation office with no issues. Considering what you would pay for a commercial campground in the area, I didn't think that $35 per night was all that expensive. Even the little exchange was adequate. On top off all that, the weather was absolutely wonderful the entire time we were there. Cool nights and sea breezes and highs in the low 80's. I would definitely recommend this RV park to anyone and I would definitely come back again!

Great location near LA. Clean and very friendly but a very subdued park and safe. Compared to other parks, people tend to stay to themselves which is nothing wrong with that. They sure love to mow the grass once a week which is better than once at month at Patrick AFB! This is my third visit to Seabreeze since I have family here. Definitely would return here again. By the way, a shout out to Andy (park office manager)... very friendly and helpful. Yes, since they changed their policy on long-stays there are always vacancies. I wish they would allow extensions if no one is waiting. A lot of wasted vacant sites which could be utilized. Wi-Fi is spotty depending on the number of people logged on. Oh! I will be heading to Camp Pendleton since I can't extend here. Grrr.

Excellent campground with level concrete pads that were plenty long for our 42’ 5th wheel. There is also an adjacent concrete pad for your vehicle. Free cable, good wi-fi (also free), free laundry, lots of room to walk the dog or ride your bike. walking/jogging trail, great staff. Very clean and maintained. Nice playground area and a beach right on base. Close to all the LA tourist sites and area beaches. We arrived on a holiday so checked in with the awesome camp host. We’ve stayed at a lot of military campground and this is one of the nicest.

Arrived about 1800 on a Friday, and Manchester gate closed, despite two green arrow lights, so be prepared to disconnect your towed. Gate was indeed VERY TIGHT, but security helped guide me through. Spaces marked on green light poles at each site. Very impressive sites! Came to the area for the NASCAR race at 'nearby' Fontana, CA. It took over an hour from here, but Disneyland and DCA was usually only 30 minutes away - so great location for our trip. Agreed with prior reviews, just an amazing park with only downside being no NEX/Commisary on base. We went to the LA AFB adjacent to LAX after going to the Santa Monica Pier. That took about 45 minutes to get back due to a wreck, so bring a cooler with you! Hookups were well laid out and easy to use. Cable in our space absolute garbage, but Dish was clear. Low Sprint signal (2 or 3 bars), until put phone (as modem) in window and got 13/4Mbps, while ATT had 27/3Mbps with 4 bars. Saw plenty of commercial jets headed into Long Beach, but didn't notice any at night. Will definitely stay here again!

Stayed here August 9-13, 2019. This is a great place. Check-in was easy, on site staff very helpful. After hours there is a full-time resident host for urgent/emergency issues. Wide, level concrete spaces, full hookups. Cable TV is ok, free Wi-Fi is good. Park is very secure; you are on an active Navy Station with armed Navy Security staff at the gate and Federal Police patrolling the grounds 24/7. Seal Beach is close to everything in Orange County and next door to Long Beach in Los Angeles County. Our dogs went nuts trying to get off their leashes to chase squirrels (daytime) and rabbits (nighttime). Very quiet at night with only a few Navy helicopters coming in to land nearby during the day. All this for $40/night. All other private RV parks are charging close to $100/night in August. Can’t beat it. We will return.

All of the previous comments still apply...awesome in so many ways...just a couple updates. First, the free WiFi is in...not real fast and goes down once in a while but it's free and useable. The other thing is a noisy construction project in the area between the RV park and the NEX...top of the diagram shown in the photos. It's an area that was projected to be an expansion of the RV park but is now going to be a new Marine Corps Reserve training center. They start in at 0700 with pounding, noisy equipment, back up beepers and all sorts of racket. The project is in the early stages (still placing forms for the foundation) so I'd say for the next year try to get a site as far away as possible...(toward the bottom of the diagram) maybe even ask to be placed as far away as possible. I'm not complaining (but I might ask to move)...just a heads up if you're coming this way.

As far as actual facilities go, you can't get much better than this RV park. The concrete pads are large and level, hookups are excellent, the WiFi is free and very good, the laundromat is FREE and fantastic, full recycling is available on site, a picnic table is provided for each site, there is a nice fitness facility within walking distance, and the Naval Weapons Station has its own private beach just 1.5 miles from the RV park (short bicycle ride). The beach is closed when ships are docked at the Naval Weapons Station dock. There are quite a few "permanent" residents at the RV park, which is interesting because it is difficult to extend your stay over one month. If you book your reservations using the DOD lodging (Navy Getaways), be sure to call the RV park to confirm these reservations because there is a disconnect between the reservations system and the RV park. You may get to the RV park and find that your "confirmed" Navy Getaways reservation is not actually confirmed. There is no commissary on site, but the Los Angeles Air Force Base Commissary is a 40 minute drive if you catch low traffic on the 405 (only between 10am and 1pm). The Los Angeles Air Force Base commissary and PX are medium-sized and well-stocked. Overall, Seabreeze is an excellent RV park and we would definitely stay here again.

Rates have gone u to $40.00 a day, but still beats anything around in terms of price. Free laundry, nice sites, easy access, well cared for grounds. There were some comments about homesteaders have moved out, but still saw some sites which have clearly been occupied for extended periods. I think that what is happening is that folks simply move to a new site. As long as folks who come for a few days or weeks can get reservation, then the long termers mean extra income fir the park/base.

Great place to stay, one downfall no commissary you have to drive to AFB in El Segundo. Overall the showers and laundry facility is always clean. Sites are well maintained, and water and electricity is spot on. Internet is available, but there are down times, just like any other park, tv channels are available, I didn’t use an antenna, and I got all the stations. Easy access off the freeway and straight down Seal Beach Blvd. Quiet great place for families, and there is a beach on site, check with host for availability. Overall my stay was great, and hats off to Andy and Derell they are two awesome host. I got there early and Derell allowed me to check in early. This park is close to all attractions and beaches.

Seabreeze RV Park at the Weapons Station Seal Beach is now taking reservations at 50% of capacity (Park has a total of 85 spaces so currently capacity is 43). Reservations should be made directly with the camp office @ (562) 626-7892 or @ (562) 626-7504. The weather is perfect with daytime temps in the mid to upper 60’s and nights in the mid to lower 50’s.

Clean and well-kept park. Both restroom/shower and laundry facilities very clean. Short drive to the park from either gate. Very short walk to the Seal Bch Blvd gate. Westminster gate secures 1800 M-F. Not open weekends. Seal Bch Blvd gate 24/7. Both RV friendly, SBB gate little tight for larger rigs. Great base camp to the many area sights, Disneyland, beach, Universal etc. Destroyer Golf Course w/i just a few minutes' drive. Gym about 100yd, Mini Mart same. FYI - Covid is still an issue at this park, lots of restrictions. Open at 50% capacity but I would guess only about 25% occupancy during my visit. As I understand, only military ID card holders allowed on base, guests are not. Base CO is very cautious. Be sure to ask appropriate questions to satisfy your party's needs when reserving your space. Price bumps $5 January 2022, $49.

Currently, the RV/Car wash rack is closed. The plan is to replace it with a new RV/Car wash as it is more cost-effective than trying to fix the old one. They are waiting for the funding to be finalized.

The value for this location cannot be beat, and the sites at the campground itself are quite spacious and modern. The park is kept very clean, but the customer service could use a lot of improvement. There are no base amenities, and the restricted areas on base mean you can travel directly from the campground to the gate, and that's it. There is a short walking path (no bikes or skooters allowed), but otherwise, you have to stay in the campground. The wifi is pitiful, but they do have cable and there are dozens of o/a tv stations. Verizon signal is strong. There are numerous grocery stores within a few miles of the gate. There is a lot of noise in the campground during the day (landscaping and air traffic), but it is delightfully quiet at night. The Westminster gate is closed on weekends and holidays. It looks like a little tighter squeeze to get in through the front gate, but the route to the campground from either gate is easy, as is navigating through the campground. The rate is now $44 a night, regardless of whether you use 30 or 50 amp. All sites have both 30 and 50 amp. I was told there is no more monthly rate, and there is a 30 day stay limit. Even with the increased rate, this is a great bargain for the location.

We thoroughly enjoy coming to this park every winter. The RV sites and free laundry room are great and so is the location. The free Wi-Fi only works some of the time. Often we cannot log on at all and other times we get dropped off forcing us to use our cell phone as a hot spot. The cable TV is poor; the picture quality for most channels is terrible and there are only 23 of which 4 are broadcast over the air. Because of the nearness to LA, there are many channels broadcast in HD over the air. We don't even bother with the cable. The base has few amenities, but the proximity to theme parks, beaches and other activities is great. We love Main Street Seal Beach for its small town atmosphere and the pier.

I confirmed today that the campground is now open and taking reservations. I secured a 30 day stay for January of next year. While the price is somewhat high, it is in a good location in SoCal and other RV park options near Seal Beach, CA are limited. Looking forward to visit there again!

I've stayed here twice at two different sites. It's very expensive ($900/month), but a great place for me as I have relatives in the area. Friendly staff; it's clean; great weather; and the spaces are roomy. But,.................it's about the ants, mice, and other crawly types that are constantly marching into the coach! Be prepared to fight these critters especially during the late Spring and Summer months (ants). In an effort to stop incursions by mice and lizards, I keep all connections up off the ground. Plug all through holes and have ant traps everywhere. Even though I've done what I'm able to do about these things it's a constant battle. While I have a little semblance of control in my galley the ants are always exploring EVERYWHERE throughout the coach! I'm used to living in the field but c'mon! Evidently there is a policy of not dealing much with pest control at the resort. I'd think twice about coming here in the summer.

The Navy needs to do a little "truth in advertising". While the area has recently been upgraded and the parking areas are level and well constructed, many of the back-in spots were set up to require an approach from the vehicles right (blind) side. With a 5th wheel or travel trailer, backing into a right hand spot is about as much fun as a train wreck! The advertised dining facility/lounge (Bunker 33) has been closed for over a year. The golf course is miles away and there are no commissary or exchange facilities, other than the really small Mini-mart within a reasonable distance. So how can this facility be described as a "resort"? All it has to offer are full hookups. At $27 per day with no weekly or monthly rates it is grossly overpriced as are many of the Navy and Marine RV parks in Southern California. While WiFi is available, the going rates for the contractor connection only add to the rip-off. Don't think we will be back until Navy MWR managers have a reality check!
