About
There is a new concrete apron at the RV dump station. The site is very clean and there is a dumpster for trash. The RV dump station is located on East Plaza Street, which is also known as Hwy. 285 or Canal Street. To get there, you need to go east on Plaza Street from Hwy. 285 or Canal Street, which runs north/south. The RV dump station is on the left side of the road at the dirt pullout after the railroad tracks. It is at the end of a dead-end street and there is plenty of room to turn around.

This dump station is at the Carlsbad water treatment facility. It is open on weekends even though the treatment facility is closed. It is one of the easiest and cleanest dump sites I have been to. 10/10/2026 updated
