Fantastic basecamp for Disney fun!

We absolutely loved our stay at Orangeland. We stayed for two weeks in order to do Disneyland and California Adventure and a couple of other LA attractions. This was the perfect place to launch from, it was so convenient to the freeways. Despite being in the heart of a sub/urban area, it was pretty quiet and peaceful. Picking oranges right from our patio was so cool, and we really enjoyed the wonderful scent of orange blossoms. Spaces are pretty tight, but the staff was very helpful in getting us situated quickly and efficiently. The patio with table and chairs at our deluxe pull-through site was very nice. The only downside is that they positioned the patios for fifth-wheels and Class Cs, so we had to walk across the (often wet) grass to get from our door to the table since the parking pad was just wide enough for our large Class A. Not a biggie, just something we’ve noticed in other parks as well. We will absolutely stay here again when we want to revisit the LA area. We camped at Orangeland RV Park in a Motorhome.

The cover of the park booklet:

Park map; the majority of the park (brown sites) are long-term residents, with a few rows (green sites) for transient RVs (I like it when parks keep the two types separate, since long-term residents are often less tidy):

Satellite view:

As mentioned, it’s about 10 minutes from Disneyland:

This park was unusual in that they gave a little goody bag at check-in:

With a sudoku, book, note pad, pen, calendar, and more:

And to tell about trash pickup, they provided a trash bag:

Our site, with a nice paved patio area with table, chairs, and umbrella (the first time we’ve had an umbrella at a site):

Convenient utility hookups:

A nice feature of this park is the “no parking fire lane” red line around the roads, encouraging everyone to park within their site. Far too often at campgrounds vehicles are parked partly in the road, making navigation of big rigs more difficult than it needs to be. It helps that the sites are actually big enough to park the toad, too:

Have you heard that in cities you can order food online and have people drive it out to you? Crazy notion! This was the first time we’ve ordered food delivery in almost a decade, since nobody would deliver to our rural homestead:

We did it twice:

One of the rules of the park was no free-range cats, and yet there were two cats that roamed around near our site (which didn’t bother us, but I suspect that rule was added due to them):

The weather was pretty nice here, though we had a couple of days with high wind gusts:

Let’s wander around the park. The entrance:

The office includes a little shop with all sorts of essentials:

Game room:

Outdoor games:

The pool; we didn’t use it, mainly because we were out late at the Disney parks on the really hot days, and the subsequent days weren’t so hot:

The spa / hot tub was being resurfaced, so unavailable; we might have wanted to use that after long days walking around Disney, but oh well:

Putting green:

Playground:

BBQ area:

Dog park:

Every site has a fruit tree, and they encourage picking fruit off your own tree, or vacant sites. They have a map of what varieties are where:
