Pool area with Jim and husband!
Mau C.

I can't say enough good things about this RV Park, The Vacationer was one of those places we booked for 6 months to try it out and stayed permanently, that's how much we like it. Besides the constant renovation efforts, the cleaning up is also daily, always improving the landscape, spaces, lightings, the park has a management that responds immediately to the tenants needs. Jim Nicolete is the star of this business, since day one we felt at home, he went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our space, relocated us to a better spot, but most importantly, since we are an LGBT couple that has been together for 16 years, we never once had any attitude or comment from him that made us feel less equal or different, quite the opposite, me and my husband feel special every day living here. We were very lucky to have chosen this place to call home. Haven't even mentioned the big pool with a gazebo and a bbq place, the SPA with clean hot bubbles and the pool table in the party/conference room. All the other workers deserved a mention in this post but I am going to praise Adriana, which is the right arm of Jim, perfect since day one. Well, I told you I couldn't say enough good things...

This older urban RV park appears to be mostly residential. Check in strictly after 1:00 PM otherwise you have no option but to wait outside the gate and can't back out into the street. Not really suitable for bigger rigs. Tight sites and streets with ntruding untrimmed trees. Cleanliness could be better: our site had dry dog turds and other debris. Office clerk was courteous as was a maintenance worker. Phone number goes to a reservations call center and there isn't an option to speak with someone at the park. Not great for vacation RVing.

She had gotten a verbal ok from Kelly the day before to stop by as a Guest. She was given 10 minutes or they were going to call the Sherrif and have us bith arrested if she was not hone. She left immediately. Two days later, I was evicted by the Regional Manager of Sunland Resorts, Jim Nicoletti with concurrence of the assistant Resort Manager Crystal Ashby. (619) 440-0040 I went to the office and Jim personally confirmed it was because my friend stopped by. My friend had gotten the verbal ok from someone else the day before, but Jim speaks for the entire region of Sunland properties. They implied that if my friend died that I could then come back but other than that, I was banned from all sun land properties in the county as long as she was my friend. Patronize them if you want. But make sure you get every guest cleared with Jim Nicoletti (Jim.nicoletti@sunlandrvresorts.com) and Crystal (Crystal.ashby@sunlandrvresorts.com) personally before they show up to your site. Or else you will be evicted and not able to use any other property. Email provided for convenience. As a 68 year old Veteran that was a victim of domestic assault. I have never seen so much hate in two individuals. And since Jim manages all of the Sunland locations it applies to all of them. Oh yeah. The pool area smelled like a sewer and the sirens invade the quiet.

My husband and I lived happily in this Park for a couple of years all together.in our RV Trailer…read more We moved in the first time in Nov 2008 and then again August of 2012 until April 2012. It is a nice clean park which is centrally located and well attended. Each party keeps their lot cleaned up so it always looks neat. Its sort of like a little village, you get to know your neighbors. We will really miss the friends we made there. The lots are very inexpensive compared to other parks in San Diego County Our lot was $450 and our utilities-very inexpensive too; this makes the park VERY AFFORDABLE and comfortable . Where else could you find an apartment for those prices in San Diego! I loved living very near a Sprouts store, a number of banks drugstores and eateries. I will really miss the Shady Lane RV Park, the convenience and the safety of living among real people. The park Manager is a gem, attending quickly to any problems that might arise and also a kind neighborly sort of person. All good things come to an end sooner or later. We have just moved out of our little home in El Cajon and in with family in San Diego County. we have parked our beloved RV in storage for the time being. The good part though is that we are enjoying many happy times with our daughter her husband and our grandkids. It is so much fun to hike with them, see them mastering reading and math and such with their homeschooling mom. We are content now and loving family life, but we will always feel just a little lonesome for the simple life at the Shady Lane RV Park. Barbara & Solomon Quimba

Good for you guys not letting the people with the pitt bull in !!…read moreI was thinking of buying a home in the but told Sara, who is selling it that I am afraid of moving to El Cajon because pitt bulls are everywhere out there. And I won't go near any of those "Red Zone" dogs. I have a small older Pom mix and have had it with pitt people and their excuses on those dogs. If they are so great why do you need insurance for them ?? Why are they outlawed in Denver, France and other places ?? The fact is : They are an aggressive breed ! So are German Shepards- they are the worst. That's why there are under 20 lb limits to keep them out so we all feel safe. Thank you Shady Lane.

I stopped at the gate and was greeted by Debbie who gave me all the information I needed and answered all my questions. She was extremely knowledgeable and very kind. If they have other people like her on staff everyone staying there I'm sure is happy and taken care of. When I drove around I was stunned at how clean and well kept eveything was. It was also beautiful. All the ponds for fishing and areas to relax. Looking forward to a stay here. Will update review later.

I visited their office in person last Tuesday to verify my 1991 Ford Econoline Jamboree RV would be accepted at this RV park, and they said absolutely yes. Then yesterday after speaking to Janice, apparently my RV is now no longer accepted at this RV park. I ran the website, policies, protocols and procedures through my ChatGPT and he verified that my RV is within the allowable ranges. After repeating myself twice to Janice MY RV IS NOT A RETROFITTED VAN and correcting her, she ignored me completely. Then doubled down and said "absolutely not, we do not accept Vans 14 years or older". Well that's funny JANICE because those words are NOWHERE to be found IN YOUR OWN RV PARK RULES dated 2026. And to think I was going to stay a month! Not a smart move at all Janice.
