Guess it is time to make the dreaded San Jose, CA. trip this year.
Looking up Rv PK's.
We have stayed at Maple Leaf in Morgan Hill before. Thumbs down for that one.

Any suggestion's?

One other thing.
Does CA. have so many people who rip off the RV PK's? That these places want a credit check and a hugh down payment.

What happened to generate your question on credit check? I have never been asked for more than a credit card to secure the first night.

If going to San Jose is "dreaded" why go? Is someone forcing you? There's plenty of wonderful places to camp, why go somewhere that you dread?

Going to a few RV PK site's. They have a App Form to fill out. Stating they want to run a credit check. Asking if you have had any convictions.
Your RV has to be approved and your pets also. Before you can stay.

Yes I am forced to go there. My DW wants to go!!. My daughter who lives there wants is to come there. No room in her driveway. Street parking is questionable.

As one posted. Traffic horror story. Thing the hole state is nuts anyway.

Interesting that you ask for help from a "hole" state that is nuts. Must have meant Arizona because the Grand Canyon is a much larger hole than anything in California. Enough of my sarcasm.

How long do you intend to stay and how far are you willing to drive from San Jose?

I would recommend Betabel on Hwy 101 just south of Gilroy. Then commute to San Jose with your toad or tow vehicle.

Try the Thousand Trails Morgan Hill preserve. Limited number of sites open to public. Clean, lots of trees, huge pool.

I don't know your commuting requirements to San Jose, but I second this choice.

Plus it's closer to San Juan Bautista, Monterey, and Seaside.
