Taking our 5th wheel down to Disneyland in just over a week. Previous years we tried Destiny Resort (now Anaheim Vacation Park) and Orangeland. We don't want to stay at either of these but want to be close to the park.
Trying to decide on either Anaheim Resort RV Park on Midway Drive or Anaheim Harbor RV Park on South Harbor Blvd.
I haven't seen any pictures of Anaheim Resort RV park but have for Anaheim Harbor -- seems like lots of concrete. Most of our time will be spent at either Disneyland or Knotts or some other place.
Any comments on either of these parks?

I've only RV'd down there once. We stayed at the former Destiny RV Resort (now the Anaheim Vacation Park (http://www.anaheimrv.com)) and we wouldn't recommend it for a few reasons.
• The shuttle was inconvenient and wouldn't allow you to spend a whole day there. You also had to book it ahead of time.
• It was too far away from Disneyland for me. It was very close to Knott's Berry Farm.. but that's not where we wanted to spend most of our time.
• We had a 34' Bounder and the spot they put us in had a tree on the passenger side that didn't allow us to pull into our spot properly and we sustained roof damage from a low hanging limb.. even though I made as wide a turn to get into the spot as I could. Basically, they gave me a spot that a 34' Motorhome could not fit into.
Anyhow - since you've already been there and don't want to go back, I'm just trying to inform others who are reading this thread :)
I've always heard that Orangeland is the best of the RV parks that are anywhere close to Disneyland. But we've never RV'd back there.. the hotels are much closer and give you more perks.. especially the Disney properties. But if it is just a part of your overall trip then I suppose you've got to try them all to find out if any work for you.

Orangeland is very clean, but it's VERY tight and our site had so many ants it was a real hassle.
It would be nice to be closer as well.
