This campground is at the edge of the Dana Point Harbor.  The sites are small, but many of them are right on the beach.  All sites have easy access to the beach.  It is easy to ride your bike to the harbor or up the river trail from this campground.  The harbor is walking distance from the campground.  It is difficult to get a spot here, usually we have been able to grab a spot when there have been a few days of rain and people will tend to cancel their spots.

This is a nice, small campground with easy access to many freeways.  Despite being so close to the freeways, the way the campground is situated in a Valley at the back of the park, you can’t see any neighborhoods or really hear the traffic.  We camped during the spring and the place was beautiful!  There is limited shade, which would make camping here on a hot weekend pretty tough.  Currently there are no camp fires allowed. There are nice flush toilets and free showers.  The sites don’t have hookups. In March the park closes to non camping vehicle traffic at 5:00pm, which gives campers the place to themselves.

This place is nice for a short stay. There are only Porto potties in the campground, but they were clean. It can be really hot in late summer early fall. It’s not far from town, yet very isolated. They often have no burn times, these are dependent on the winds.

This is a nice little spot, close to town, but not as close to the train as some of the other Southern California state beaches. The campground hosts went above and beyond to keep the bathrooms clean and even provided nice soap. The tent camping spots were a pretty good size for beach camping.
