San Onofre Bluffs Campground

This is one of the few state campgrounds I'd never stay at again. The sites are right on top of one another, with a dirt mound blocking the view and the sounds of the ocean. The view and the sounds of the train tracks and the 5 freeway are, unfortunately, not blocked at all.

Not a bad spot, not a great one either....

Pretty loud as it runs parallel w/ the 5 fwy and in seems to attract a party crowd during the popular months. There is a group of sites that are protected from the freeway noise however, they are a bit more crowded in regards to the size of the spots. Pretty sure the site numbers are low 70's to high 80's.

Decent surf (Very tide dependent) and even though it's known to be sharky, I have never ran across one. "Knock on wood."

There is little to no crowd in the water as everyone is just north where the surf is better.

Vault toilets, no showers....
