Port of San Diego implements new restrictions for 'van camping' on bay

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:27:36 GMT

SAN DIEGO -- Lucy and Bob Shipley have been coming to enjoy the views of San Diego Bay at Shoreline Park for decades. They pack up lunch in their RV and drive to the waterfront. “This motorhome is just right,” said Shipley told FOX 5. “It's about 26-27 feet long and for two people, we’re in hog heaven in there."But soon, many of the designated parking spots the couple uses will be gone. On April 11, the Board of Port Commissioners approved the amendments to its oversized vehicle parking regulations.In recent years, the Port says it has been impacted by the “van camping” trend. Some visitors to the waterfront choose to “camp” in their converted vans rather than in a designated camping location with wastewater and trash disposal facilities. As a result, the Port has received numerous public complaints regarding the dumping of human waste and trash in parks, on public landscaping, on streets and in parking lots, and these complaints have been on the increase. The amended parking regula...
