We always enjoy staying at Sun Outdoors San Diego Bay, and it’s one of our favorite RV resorts because of its location and amenities. However, over our last few visits, we’ve noticed a decline in the overall maintenance and upkeep of the property.
One of the biggest concerns is the landscaping. Trees, shrubs, and other vegetation have become overgrown and are encroaching into campsites, particularly the premium sites. As owners of a 45-foot motorhome with a tow vehicle, every inch of space matters when parking and maneuvering. Overgrown landscaping not only reduces usable site space but also increases the risk of scratches and damage to larger RVs.
We also noticed that the palm trees around the pool appear to be overdue for trimming, and the general appearance of the pool area could benefit from more regular maintenance. Throughout the resort, there were cobwebs, dirt, and debris around the fire pit seating areas, and many of the fire pits themselves are beginning to show significant wear. While none of these issues individually ruin the experience, together they create the impression that routine maintenance and reinvestment in the property have slowed considerably.
Another area that deserves attention is the exit from the resort. The landscaping around the roundabout is becoming overgrown as well, making it especially tight for larger rigs. We’re not sure whether that landscaping falls under the resort’s responsibility or another agency’s, but it creates a challenging exit and increases the potential for branches to scratch large motorhomes and tow vehicles.
We truly enjoy staying here and want to continue returning for many years. Our hope is that management will invest in the property’s upkeep so that it once again reflects the premium resort experience that originally made Sun Outdoors San Diego Bay such a special destination.
