San Diego California
San Diego's economy centers on tourism, trade, agriculture,
ship-building, the military, biotechnology, computer science and electronics.
Downtown San Diego is located on the San Diego Bay. Major tourists attractions
include the city's beaches and bays, Balboa
Park and San Diego Zoo, Sea World, San Diego Wild Animal Park, and
Old Town.
Numerous farms are located in the valleys northeast of the city. San
Diego enjoys an abundance of quality produce with its position on the
Pacific Ocean and its warm Mediterranean-like climate. Beyond the mountains
east of the city are desert areas. The Cleveland National Forest is a
half-hour drive from downtown San Diego. There are small pockets of natural
parkland scattered throughout the city due to the deep canyons separating
the city's mesas.
The U.S. Navy ports, Marine Corps bases, and Coast Guard stations are
in or near San Diego. It is the home port of the largest naval fleet in
the world which include two Navy supercarriers, several Los Angeles-class
submarines, five amphibious assault ships, and many smaller ships. Click

Jason's thoughts - Big, progressive,
modern city. You could easily spend four to six weeks exploring everything.
The climate, the ocean proximity, the multi-national multi-cultural atmosphere
and the sight seeing possibilities make San Diego a great place to hang
out.
Kelly's thoughts - There is so much to do in San
Diego and the surrounding area that it can be overwhelming for someone
who wants to do it all, like me. I love big cities and I love the ocean.
This is me.
Travel Info - There are many RV parks in and around San Diego
though they tend to be hard to find. Many are booked in the summer. Be
ready for some elevation changes throughout the area. Some of the state
parks can be cheap but many of them do not have sewage hook-ups and others
do not have electricity or water but only allow you to park. Make sure
when you make reservations that you make sure what you are buying in San
Diego area RV parks. Map location of San
