Amazing on the beach camping but
Really a special spot. Not crowded and a place you can rarely camp beachfront in souther California. I have to note the bathrooms are absolutely terrible. Our house yes but filled to the brim in a bad way when we were there. Really detracts from the experience.
Epic Beach Camping on the highway 1
Awesome spot for boondocking! Can't beat camping on the beach. There is a picnic table at each spot. No hookups or showers, but they did have porta-pottys.
All the camp spots are right on the beach, and behind them is highway 1 so there is some road noise.
Was an awesome spot with my 3 kids and wife - cooked on the beach and enjoyed throwing rocks into the ocean!

Beautiful Beach Camping with the Crowds
Thornhill Broome offers beautiful beach camping without crowds. We were here a week before July 4th, and with crowds limited to campground capacity, we felt like we had this stretch of the Pacific coast to ourselves.
There are many small rocks as you enter the water. The sound of them rolling and turning as the surf rolls in and out are mesmerizing but might make walking through the surf challenging. We didn't try swimming, but there was a pleasant walk in either direction.
Thornhill is a single-lane campground a few yards from the highway and beach. Sound of waves and occasional traffic all night. Loud white noise doesn't bother me, but others may have difficulty sleeping.
You are more likely to encounter gusty wind here. We didn't have enough to deprive us of normal camping activities; our tent withheld the wind, and we maintained a campfire and a fire in our ring. Had the wind been any more vigorous, which strikes me as likely, this may have been more challenging.
There are multiple clusters of outhouses spaced throughout the campground. Their condition and maintenance are neither better nor worse than you might expect. Each outhouse cluster has a dumpster outside, which is helpful.
Next time I'll bring an awning for the day and slightly warmer clothes for the evening.
I recommend the campsite and look forward to staying here again sometime.
