Right on the ocean
Right on the ocean. No hookups. Kind of crowded!
Ocean view kinda
I was excited when I first arrived, then it went downhill after that. They have signs up saying that there is a rise in thefts. Supposedly the thieves use the guise of the loud cargo train that runs just around the grounds to cover up them cutting locks and stealing. No free showers , half of the showers aren’t operating. People up till 2 am with car lights on and speakers going. Caught a few people walking through my site and around my van. Didn’t feel like the host or rangers are doing what they’re paid to do.
Great premium spots, mediocre otherwise.
I've camped here a few times, in both normal and premium spots. If you are in an rv, you will be fine. As a tent camper, the spots are tiny, with zero privacy, and room for one large tent, or squeezing in two medium tents. The last time I was here, I was boxed in by RVs, with one running his generator all day and past the allowed 8:00 p.m. time limit. The saving grace is that the ocean, though not visible unless you get a premium spot, is a one minute walk away.
Nice, clean bathrooms with flush toilets, showers, and plentiful water spigots.
If you just need a place to crash and plan to spend the whole day in the water, go for it. Otherwise, head a little further south and check out San Onofre. Or, spend a little extra and grab a premium spot--closer to the ocean, and only two neighbors.
The train is loud, but passes seldom.
