GuideBikes, birds, beach...a blast!
We stayed in 134, right on the sand. Our 27' trailer (with butt over sand, incredibly) and full-size truck fit comfortably in our spot, and several folks with fifth wheels also looked to have plenty of room. With 50 amp electric and a daily pump truck for $20 (they literally suck your tanks into theirs), you basically have full hookups. For the price, I can't imagine it gets any better.
The campground itself is, if you look in one direction, a parking lot. Look the other way and you're on the same beach Navy SEALs train on. Mostly families out here having a good time.
Location is great for biking, with a separated trail that runs the strand all the way down to Imperial Beach and to ritzy Coronado. Driving into San Diego proper isn't too bad, as long as you don't mind Southern California driving in general.
One thing to watch out for: Thanks to rain, several beachside sites were getting taken over by sand. One family spent about two hours digging themselves enough room for backing into.
ScoutExcellent beach campground
Can’t beat the proximity to the beach! Spots next to the road are loud and the campground is busy with small parking lot style areas, but if you can get a spot backing on to the beach, A+. Nice proximity to San Diego attractions as well. Would stay here again.
