Rincon Parkway
Ventura, CA
Rincon Parkway runs along both the north and south stretches of this Ventura County coast, genuinely popular roadside camping for self-contained RVs right along the water. It's less a single beach than a long, thin corridor of ocean-adjacent camping spots, real oceanfront for anyone in a rig that can handle it.
The genuinely rare roadside oceanfront RV camping is a real draw for anyone equipped for it, though it's built specifically for that rather than a typical beach visit.
How we score beachesBook ahead if RV camping here interests you, spots this close to the water along a public roadway are genuinely rare and popular.
A day use fee applies; the exact amount is best confirmed at the entrance.
Stairs and a path lead from the roadside camping areas down to the beach.
Dogs are welcome; check posted signage for specific leash rules.
Fog is common most mornings year round, typical of the Ventura coast.
