We live a couple hours from this terrific campground. I wish we lived close enough to pop over every weekebd, it is that great! Our kids have told us it is their favorite beach campground...and we have been to many. They are very strict about check-in time so do not bother to check in before 2pm, not even 5 monutes... more

Well I was pleasantly surprised we got a site at the Southern tip loop (the last loop) site #68 which is not a Oceanfront site but we could see the ocean from where we were and you are literally less than 100 yards away from waves. Friendly Ranger at the gate, crowded drive down to our site (but it IS... more

This place is the best ever! Spacious camp sites, bluffs over the most amazing ocean views. On site are plenty of hot showers, an enormous camp store to meet your every need, a taco stand and get this - an espresso cart!! And if that's not enough you can walk to town for great donuts, restaurants, a beautiful park with... more

We discovered San Elijo State Beach a couple years ago. One of the few spots west of PCH with full hook-ups. Not all the spaces have hook-ups and they go fast in the springtime for the upcoming summer. We always stay in space 13 or 15 which are on the west side of the campground and on a bluff overlooking... more

What a week! This was my second year here and it was better than the 1st. We stayed on the ocean side this year and it was fantastic. The views were great, the sites were clean. There are bathrooms on site along with showers, all cleaned daily. The park staff is very friendly. You can rent body boards from the... more

Great place to stay at the beach. Del Mar is where someone put it, but it's a bit north of there, between Encinitas and Cardiff-by-the-Sea. Booked online through Reserve America. Caught a last minute opening. Because you can cancel a reservation up to 24 before, last minute openings can appear even though all these campgrounds are generally booked well in... more

Great family campground. They have full hookups for RV's and plenty of spots overlooking the coastline. Most spots are on the bluff with firepits and hedges between campsites. Access to the sandy beach is a short trek down about 75 stairs. Store is on-site for snacks and wood. Reservations in summer through reserveamerica. more
