We enjoyed staying so close to the beach with easy access to downtown San Diego being just a few minute drive. Campsites we are clearly marked on the pavement with easy access to restrooms(very clean), dump station and trash. Electric and water was available on site. Campsite was well lit until quiet hours. Family-friendly. Keep in m... more

If you like the beach, then this is a prime spot! Pros: Beachfront access to a beautiful state park beach! Not far from downtown San Diego Close to lots of restaurants, shopping, etc. Beautiful sunsets Water and electric easy access Cons: Right off the highway, so highway noise combined with aircraft noise basically a b... more

Typical coastal California campground. Parking lots that cost in excess of $60. No privacy. No sewer hookup. People partying inches away from your door. No thanks. But hey! You're on the beach...sort of.

Great location right on the beach and with bay access. Close to Coronado, military bases, and San Diego. Each site has electric and water hookups. Other than location though there were issues. - No showers - No Wi-Fi - No Hot water in outdoor sinks - Sites very close together, with out slide extended there was no room to walk o... more

The DW loves her some beach, so this is the second time we've come here. As others have said, this CG is basically a parking lot with water and electric. On the beach. Were not for that, no one would stay here for $50-65 a night. We chose Tues, Wed, and Thurs nights this time, and it was not very crowded. But, it's never quiet, what wi... more

I would not come back unless I could't find a spot in north San Diego county. It is not a peaceful place to camp. The Navy was doing non stop drills and training; there was machine gun fire in morning, non stop fly overs all night, along with a busy highway that never seems to sleep, all of which made for a not very relaxing time. Also... more

Hereforthebeer's review below sums up a lot of our experience. The staff seemed to be overzealous and itching to slap a pink violation sticker on anything and everything. Arrive 15 minutes before check in? Please pay the day use fee. Spill any fresh water while hooking up? Get accused of leaking sewage (we compost!). We had an adjoinin... more

The park website mentions the gate being locked from 7pm - 7am. However, unlike every other state park or campground we've ever camped at, campers do not get a code or combination to get through the gate! You are quite literally locked into the campground (or if you return later than 7pm, locked out of the campground). So if you're... more

If you can afford to get an ocean front spot you will not be disappointed. During the winter months they build a sand barrier which can hinder the view a little bit but it's great for sunset viewing! We did some ocean fishing, had a little rain and some wind but the sound of the ocean was fantastic! The spots are tight. Too close for c... more
