Knott’s Berry Farm

Knott's Berry Farm does not retain a campground or overnight RV spots. However, there are plenty of places in the area where you can stay with your family in a large motorhome or small campervan. Whether you choose a state park, private campground, or a boondocking site, you can still enjoy your day at the park and camp near Los Angeles.

Visitors with RVs can find quite a few private campgrounds near Knott’s Berry Farm from primitive to posh. With and without utilities, showers, and modern restrooms. Only about 7.6 miles to the southeast, Anaheim Harbor RV Park is the closest campground and has 200 sites that can fit motorhomes up to 40 feet with full hookups. Just a block away, Anaheim RV Park is popular with resort visitors with over 100 sites that can accommodate motorhomes up to 65 feet and all utilities. For a quieter alternative, check out Bolsa Chica State Beach, which boasts 50 RV sites along the beach with electric and water for rigs up to 40 feet long. It’s easy to find just 13 miles to the west on the Pacific Coast Highway (CA-1).

For visitors with mobility issues, wheelchairs are allowed to be brought in, or they are available for rent in Ghost Town right by the Geode Shop. Strollers are also available, including double strollers. Everyone else should wear comfortable shoes and plan on walking a bit. However, the park has a lot of seating available, including picnic tables and benches, as well as some indoor seating in several restaurants and shows.

The weather in Southern California is almost always excellent with sunny skies and warm weather year-round. The only time it gets really hot is July through September, so for those who are planning a trip then, pack summer clothes. Don’t forget the hoodie or jacket, though, because at night, the temperatures usually drop about 20 degrees.

Bring as little as possible into the park because many of the rides do not allow purses or backpacks, and phones are liable to get wet or broken. Visitors often wear fanny packs to store their keys, wallet, and phone. For those who have big items to bring, Knott’s Berry Farm has lockers for rent in the Ghost Town area.

Since water bottles are allowed, make sure each guest has one with them. They can be refilled at the water fountains found throughout the park. Grab a trial-sized bottle of sunscreen to tuck in your pocket so you can reapply it as needed. It wouldn’t hurt to bring a small first-aid kit with aspirin, antibiotic ointment, and band-aids as well.

RVers staying at a campground with full hookups should have no trouble cooking indoors. Visitors tend to cook outside on the provided campfire grill or bring their own camp stove or BBQ pit. Always be prepared with items like extra water, trash bags, cooking and eating utensils, cooking spray, and aluminum foil. Stock up before heading to the park, so you don’t find yourself paying extreme prices at the closest convenience store.

The town of Buena Park, less than two miles to the north, has about a dozen places to eat from fast food drive-thrus to fine dining establishments. RVers looking for a burger can choose from several different burger joints, and those who want Asian cuisine can find two Korean restaurants and a Chinese eatery. For those looking for something more relaxing, there are a few diners as well.

Before visitors even get to the park, they may be drooling because of the delicious smells coming from over 30 eateries and food kiosks. From the pizza and Dippin’ Dots in Camp Snoopy to the Gourmet Coffee Hut and fancy diner on the Boardwalk, Knott’s Berry Farm has a plethora of delights to satisfy that hunger. Ghost Town has 11 different food vendors where visitors can get fried rice, churros, pork chops, and many other meals or snacks. And don’t forget to try the signature Knott’s Berry Pie at the main restaurant. Grab some souvenirs and other unique items from one of the 16 shops in the park before leaving.
