Oh my, good luck with this one. Which ones have you tried?
The best bet is to commute a bit. There are campgrounds in surrounding towns anywhere from 30 to 50 miles away and while this turns you into a commuter (ugh) availability and cost might be okay. Most camping places nearby to Santa Monica have time limits (10 to 14 days) and moving around from place to place in the Santa Monica/L.A. areas is NOT recommended.
I can start with Golden Shore RV Park (in Long Beach), 800-668-3581. About 30 miles commute, it is a tight fit and tricky getting into but it is nicely kept. I can also recommend either the KOA, (888-562-4230) or East Shore RV Park (800-809-3778) both in Pomona and about 45-50 miles away. There are also others but they are just as far and I have no experience with them.
In all cases expect high prices but way cheaper than a hotel. Then there's the price of fuel that might convince you that a nearby hotel might be cheaper. DW loved working at St. John's especially running into all the celebrities. Good luck and best in health to you.
