Major train track construction has completed with a 90% reduction in whistle blowing at the crossing. San elijo state beach is dog friendly (leashing required) but not at the campground beach . Primitive camping has water facets and bath/shower house ($1 for 2 minutes). Beach access at campground is via various stairs. Sites near t... more

We booked a standard site for $35/night but when we arrived we decided to splurge for FHU’s... costing an extra $25/night. For $60/night this is just OK. We were here visiting a friend who lives up the road in Encinitas - we aren’t surfers so the beach wasn’t enough of a distraction from ALL THE HORRIBLE NOISE. Seriously, bring your... more

Reserved a sea side spot for three days early in the week. Recommend the north end camp sites - they are roomier, fewer camping sites, generally quieter. Cardif Beach is walking distance and allows pooches!

We got lucky and got three nights here the same day we showed up without reservations. We had an "inland" site but we still had a great view of the water. The sound of crashing waves all day and night is magical. There is a train that rolls through often and it has to blow its horn at the intersection nearby. It is very loud. Other tha... more

After 4.5 months on the road, this was our favorite spot. We got a premium site with ocean view. Just WoW! I could watch my husband surf from the RV. It was a great location if you are surfing and traveling with kids- you don't need to make it a day trip to go to the beach.

Yes it's busy, yes the Coaster and Amtrak trains go by frequently blaring their horns (which are awesome options to get to the heart of San Diego, btw) but this is still one of our favorite spots. It's beautiful on the bluffs and you can access one of the very few dog beaches right from the campground (at the southern end) -- it's a fa... more

I made reservations 6 months in advance to get a site overlooking the water. Site 145 accommodated our 34' foot Airstream, but did require some up on curb driving, there is a loop in front of this spot which allows for more room to back up. The site was big enough, but will test your driving skills, hey it's worth it to camp on the bea... more

The location on the bluff is very cool. The sites are mix of dirt and asphalt. It’s a pretty good location for visiting all of the San Diego area attractions. The problem with the park is the noise (PCH and commuter trains) and the number of day use people that come off PCH. All of the beach goers park on PCH and then walk through the ... more

We loved it. Just relaxed and watched dolphins swim by.

I don't need to reiterate what many have already said in previous posts about the people, the noise & busyness of this location. That is all true. So are the comments on the beauty. This is a fabulous location with great amenities at the grounds as well as within walking distance. For me I would only give this three stars because o... more

Not worth the money
