Safe and sound…..and the SKUNKS

We’ve been going here for years. On MCAS Camp Pendleton. Palmtree Lane is our favorite spot but Surfer’s Paradise is great too especially during low tide. BEWARE OF THE SKUNKS AT NIGHT!!!

Beautiful views

Great location with views of the ocean.  Sites were a little unlevel. No sewer hookups on the upper level. Bathrooms look newly remodeled and very clean.
