Love this place! Only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because of the marines showing up for pt at 0615 making a bunch of noise unloading a trailer and shouting profane language right outside the window scaring and awaking my 5 year old daughter. Then they proceeded to hang out on our patio furniture talking and making more noise for a couple hours. The place doesn't need air conditioning, but that would alleviate the need to leave the windows open all night and maybe we don't get woke up early while on vacation. Everything else was amazing!

The beach here is beautiful! We were there for the 4th to see the fire works and it was an amazing family event. It was a great spot to see the fireworks! My favorite part was the sunset! UPDATE THIS WAS NOT MEANT FOR THE RESORT HOTEL IT WAS MEANT FOR THE BEACH!

I did not check out much here. I just went to have a good time with my people. The beach is very clean and nice. We played Soccer, Football, handball and surfing while the grill was going. Great experience

I originally had a reservation for the Del Mar Beach RV Park and wanted to cancel it. There were no clear instructions on how to cancel a reservation so I decided to call the front office. I was told to call another number with an extension. It took me 5 days, 4 phone calls, and an email to finally get a response. Once someone finally picked up the phone, I was asked for my confirmation number and the lady said “hold on one second I need to go” and was put on hold. Then when I’m off hold, she asks if I’m still there in a manner as if it’s my fault. It should not have taken that long to cancel my reservation.

Camping is located directly on the beach with picnic tables and fire rings. The sites are close together but if possible they try to separate occupied sites.
