Talk about the views! This campground is located above San Clemente State Beach and offers a short walk to a tunneled beach access under the train tracks and spectacular sights.

With 160 sites to choose from, including ADA accessible, that are a good size, multiple bathrooms with hot showers available, hiking trails, and close to the town, this is a must to try!

Dogs are allowed but must remain on a leash no longer than 6 feet. I tied mine on a long leash to the overhang like everyone else and it was fine.

Tent Site Amenities:

Firepit with grate, picnic table, overhang and some have water spigots. All sites can accommodate two cars, the first is included in your fee and the second can be added for an additional $15 a night. The bathrooms are cleaned every morning around 10/11am.

The front gate opens at 6am and closes at 10pm with the exception of the gate code from a Ranger upon request.

Not everything can be perfect, no matter how beautiful. Here are some cons to consider that I have come across:

During the spring and summer there are ants everywhere. Skunks are desensitized to humans and will walk right up to forge through your trash. For the sites further from the ocean, the constant freeway noise is noticeable and if school is in session, the local elementary children's screams can become annoying. Some sites are a little too close to eachother unless you reserve those for a large party, then it makes sense as to why they are close. But if you want your own space and little bit of privacy, it can be annoying. I noticed a few like that.

Overall it is one of my favorite places to camp! I just can get over the scenery.
