This is a really nice campground on the beach. The restrooms were cleaned daily, as were the showers. The showers were coin operated, which we wish we knew about ahead of time. Bring your quarters, as each one is good for a couple of minutes! The site was paved for the trailer, and dirt for the rest. It had a fire pit and table, and there are bushes between to help separate the neighbors. There are grassy areas to throw or kick a ball. We were in a site furthest away from the beach, which was still less than 100 yards away. On Friday and Saturday nights through the summer, there is music to be heard from about 6 to 10 PM from the hotel across the street. The big drawback is trying to reserve a campsite here. We only had a chance to camp because a friend wasn't going to use it. Overall, we had a great time! We would like to stay again, and would recommend it as a great family campground. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is state camping at its best. We love this campground. The showers and restrooms were clean. It is great to be right on the beach. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice place to camp if you want to be by the ocean. It has a little tree line between the sites and is not like a parking lot. It was kept nice and clean. PCH is close and so are the train tracks but we are city people so we didn't even notice. We are going again in a couple of weeks and than in a month or so. Both times we will have ocean front sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I use this, and the two State parks in San Clemente, as a homebase while exploring the area and visiting relatives. I stay here only when the oceanfront sites are available to get an awesome view of beach and surf, and access to great beach walks and bike rides. Location next to San Juan Creek makes for high bacterial count, but also lots of shorebirds. Since there are no hookups, feel free to orient your rig for best view; I'm shocked that 75% of the motorhomes back in at the beachfront. Many sites have vegetation between them, but otherwise it is a crowded camp and noisy because of kids, trains, and generators (since there are no hookups). We camped here in a Motorhome.

A great beach location just steps from most camp sites. Also, the location between San Clemente and Laguna is full of many diffent activities with a superb drive through the Pacific Coast Highway. The camp sites looked clean, as well as the restrooms and showers. The only bummer was a toxic warning for the water along Doheny beach in front of the campground. I guess there was some rain a day or so before we arrived. Still, there are plenty of other cleaner areas a short driving distance away. We headed North about 8 miles to Crystal Cove (between Laguna Beach and Newport Beach) where the water was cleaner along a very well kept nature protected area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a very nice CA State Beach park. Some ocean front sites. Other sites back up to a grassy field, great for frisbee, football, etc. Perfect if you have a few sites reserved for family reunions or parties. Sites are very well maintained and clean, as were the restrooms and showers. There is a small gift shop as you enter the park, with a tide pool on display and a very small (one room) museum area explaining the wildlife found in the area. Reserve well in advance for holiday weekends and summer visits. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park but crowded park. Need to make reservations months in advance. The camp hosts(CH) were very nice and helpful. Only complaint was the park is rather noisy. Didn't really get completely quiet until about 3am (yes I was up that late). The beach is nice but water is closed often due to bacteria levels. Google for water conditions if you plan on swimming, fish but don't eat. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Was very clean as most state parks are. Each campground is separated by thick bushes which was nice for privacy and shade. Our bushes were a bit overgrown so we could not use our awning, but most of the sites were properly cut. Our site backed up to the sand of Doheny State Beach. Our site was double wide so it was easy to get our TT backed in. We had our own fire ring. No kookups, but there was a dump station and potable water available. We slept to the sound of the small waves rolling in on the beach. Campground was mostly families in rv's, but there were also many tents. Our only complaint was a noisy group next to us, but they were in bed at a decent hour. Very nice with plenty of activities including bicycle and jet ski rentals. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
