All the delays and downgrade in security have sure helped fester the downturn of the RV Park. I am almost glad that we are not staying there anymore. It is amazing how long it is taking to get the changes done, but with the current state of affairs regarding Campland/Mission Bay and all the parties involved, I am not surprised. One of these years it will all get done and look decent, just have to keep waiting. Thanks for the update Jeff.

As bad as the old abandoned homes were, at least they weren't trashed. The security at MB always seemed a bit heavy handed, but it looks like they were doing a good job keeping the area safe. Now, I'm not so sure I'd walk around the point by myself. That's truly unfortunate. Looks like the never ending saga is truly never ending...<br /><br />I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I read about him on another blog as well. It sounds like he was a lovely person who will be sorely missed.

Is the campground itself (Mission Bay) still the same, can one still walk along the mobile home park and the bay as before (even if one needs to avert one's eyes!) It's location is so perfect and the fact that we could walk Lewis along the bay made it perfect for us.....sighSuzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835706018073935049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359689606970863941.post-48131123837514512102020-01-24T19:26:39.296-08:002020-01-24T19:26:39.296-08:00It was a comment Suzi made On the Road of Retireme...It was a comment Suzi made On the Road of Retirement that had me thinking of researching this post.

We were wondering how it was going and what condition the RV park was in. That is so sad to see those mobile homes vandalized that way. It wasn't a great place with all the overgrowth but now it is a huge eye sour. Too bad that the clean, safe agreement was pushed back so far. It is the best place to stay in San Diego especially right along the water.
