Hi, we just bought a new 2015 FR Vibe 272BHS. Would like to here on any good camping places for family with grand kids in the southern CA areas.

Welcome.

i suggest you look at the On The Road/Travel Chat section's Western USA sub-section and do a search there.
or ask for suggestions in the areas you're interested in.

Greetings from the IE! I saw from another post that you're new to camping altogether. I'll mention two campgrounds in San Diego that you might like while you get used to your trailer. (In other words: a lesser degree of stress for your initial voyages, level spaces, hook-ups, and other inexperienced campers around you. You'll blend in. I know from my limited experience.) Both are family-oriented parks that should keep grandkids busy. They are close to stores for anything you realize you forgot. Both do get crowded.
Look at Campland on the Bay. It is on Mission Bay, and freeway close off the 5. It has a small beach and marina. I don't think they have pull-thru spaces, unless you really want to shell out $$ for a deluxe space.
The other campground is the San Diego KOA. It's actually inland in Chula Vista, off the 15. KOA has pull-thru sites, which is a blessing to new trailer owners who don't want to (try to) back in and embarrass themselves.
Both have websites that you can look at a map to get an idea of their layout.
Enjoy!

Sorry there's nothing more fun then watching the new guy back up a trailer, except maybe more new guys trying to give direction and advice, remember we were all there once just don't drop the 5er pin in the bed with witnesses , DAHIK ( don't ask how I know)
Also not good having a TT come off the hitch in the middle of a turn across two lanes of oncoming traffic sitting at a red light laughing out load at ya , another DAHIK

Welcome from Riverside!

We like the state beaches, Newport Dunes, Mission Bay RV Resort, Wilderness Lakes (it's a Thousand Trails campground in Menifee). We've been to Campland visiting friends but haven't shelled out the money to stay there.
