San Onofre Recreation Beach and Camping
Reviewed Feb. 24, 2022

Beautiful views - would stay again

I stayed here three weeks in February. I stayed up top and site 91 was great! I would stay here again and request that site.

Cons:

  • Noise from I-5 and helicopter sorties. Occasional bombing exercises also.
  • Top bathrooms under construction since January but I wasn’t notified until I got there (provided ports-potties and hand washing station were stocked and cleaned regularly).
  • No dogs allowed on beach. 30 min drive to Dog Beach in Solana.
  • Lower bathrooms. These were the only showers available. The bathrooms are well stocked but the showers were not cleaned regularly. The same clump of hair was in the same shower for three weeks. Four out of six showers have no hooks to hang clothes. Shower caddies are all rusted. Surfers bring their boards in a rinse them off in the showers. The showers/bathrooms are gross. This was by far my biggest complaint. Regular cleaning, a few extra hooks, and new shower caddies would go along way.

Pros:

  • Beautiful views and lots of beach at low tide.
  • Very quiet during the week (weekends are very busy).
  • Close to a small exchange, commissary, and gas station.
  • Nice fire pits
  • Cheap laundry facilities
  • Close to San Clemente and San Diego is only an hour away.
