The trouble with Disneyland is that, while it was built in the middle of
miles and miles of orange orchards back in the 50's, it is now surrounded by
miles and miles of urban sprawl. You can find RV parks near Disneyland, but
they are mostly serious parking lot style giant motorhome parking
facilities. The best you'll do is probably Canyonland RV park (16 miles east
of Disneyland), which at least has grass and trees, or better, Prado
Regional Park a little north of there.

As for avoiding populated areas, short of coming in by helicopter, there's
no real way. Visiting Disneyland is a thoroughly urban experience. Worth it
though, if you've never been.
