South Carlsbad Beach camp sites


San Diego California has a hundred miles of great beaches & coastal access, although there are only a handful of campgrounds along the coast. You can camp in the downtown area, like RV only Silver Strand State Beach, or perhaps with the masses at Mission Bay.

SD's North County coastline has a much more rural feel, less development & plenty great surfing, shoreline & seaweed. San Diego's 2 large beach campgrounds with ocean view & cliff side access are: San Elijo Beach Campground near Cardiff & South Carlsbad State Beach. We suggest making reservations, as these do tend to be popular alternatives to the San Diego city camping options.
