Take note of the neighbor RV; we saw them again at our next stop, too:
A tight access road, but a perfectly fine place for a one-night stop. Though some train horn noise. Not a lot of options in this area; KOA is easy.

Annoyingly for a one-night stay, we had to untoad, as the site was too short to remain connected. That might be my fault, though; they let you choose your site when booking, and I must not have measured it with Google Maps:
If we stay here again in the future, we’d choose a better site.
We attended a game of the Anaheim Angels vs our Seattle Mariners at Angel Stadium in Orange, California.
Jenn’s game summary:
Opening day in Anaheim stumbled out of the gate, with the anthem singer mugging for time due to a botched flyover by vintage fighter planes. The crowd booed the outgoing president of baseball ops and remained agitated throughout the game. Fans seemed more into the party than the game itself. Bryan Woo was electric for the M’s, but our bats were quiet until the 10th when Cole Young tripled to score the ghost runner, and Josh Naylor hit Julio and Cole in. The Angels got one back with a sac fly in the bottom of the 10th, but too little too late. Overall, a subpar experience at a subpar park, but the Mariners won, so a net positive.
