Quick Overview

Simi Valley is a suburban city in eastern Ventura County, situated in a broad valley north of the Santa Susana Mountains and within a short drive of the San Fernando Valley and the greater Los Angeles metro area. The area has several motorhome dump stations available, with some offering free access to visiting RVers. You'll find sanitary service point facilities at local motorhome parks and a few standalone locations in the area that serve both local residents with RVs and travelers passing through on their way between the Central Coast and the LA basin. While Simi Valley is primarily a residential community, its convenient location along the Highway 118 corridor makes it a practical and useful stop for RVers needing to handle tanks without fighting the notorious LA freeway traffic. The city is home to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum, one of the most popular presidential libraries in the country, which draws visitors year-round. The surrounding mountain areas offer good hiking and mountain biking trails, and the community has a pleasant, somewhat rural feel despite its proximity to the massive LA metro sprawl. Highway 118, the Ronald Reagan Freeway, runs east-west through the valley connecting to I-210 and the San Fernando Valley to the east and to Moorpark and the agricultural areas to the west. Highway 23 connects south to US-101 and the Thousand Oaks area. The valley roads are wide and manageable for RVs, though some residential streets can get narrow. Most dump stations are positioned near the main commercial corridors, keeping navigation straightforward for visiting rigs of all sizes.

Traveling to Simi Valley by RV

Highway 118, the Ronald Reagan Freeway, is the main east-west freeway through Simi Valley, connecting east to I-210 and the San Fernando Valley and west to Moorpark and eventually the agricultural Oxnard Plain. Highway 23 runs north-south and heads south to US-101 and the Conejo Valley communities of Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village. From I-5, take Highway 118 west -- it's about 25 miles from the I-5 interchange near the Newhall area. The Santa Susana Pass Road connecting Simi Valley to the San Fernando Valley is steep, winding, and has some motorhome restrictions -- check clearance heights and weight limits carefully before attempting it. Your best bet is to stick to the 118 and 23 freeways for hassle-free and safe motorhome access to and from the valley. Fuel stops are available along the commercial corridors of Cochran Street and Sycamore Drive, and near the Highway 118 exits with competitive pricing. Grocery stores including a Vons and Ralph's are easily accessible, and a Walmart is within reach in the neighboring Moorpark area. For Motorhome-specific supplies, parts, and service, you may need to head to Oxnard or the San Fernando Valley where there are more specialized dealers and repair shops.
