Spent a week in an RV. Restrooms and showers available. San Clemente is nearby for lunch and bars. Parking is horrible in town. Use a taxi that can get on base.

Paid $100 to sleep in the dirt for a so nights and enjoyed every second! Bring earplugs, the train can be loud at 1:00 am.

This beach is not very kid friendly due to the rocks and sometimes big waves, the water also gets deep really fast so if you don’t know how to swim you can’t really go here. I stayed in the cottages and they are low quality cottages. Outside of the water it isn’t too bad, there is a playground and good views.

Pretty amazing campground. Focus is on surfing, watching or participating and there is quite a bit of beach action going down. Some complain about the highway noise and trains at night, we were cool with that. Laundry is right there, sites are level with campfires, picnic table and a great view. We have returned here again and again and the only thing I can say negative is FIX THE WEBSITE.

We were able to get camping reservations on base. They have facilities for showing (which were very clean) beach was clean and there was an historic clubhouse but I feel as if it was a missed opportunity. A bar overlooking the ocean would have been a big money grabber. Overall clean beach with amazing sights

Excellent location with a beautiful beach! We had premium site 14 which was perfect. The big fire pits are wonderful to use for chillier nights. Small commissary and Sonic right around the corner. We will be back!

Great RV Park. Located on Camp Pendleton just south of San Clemente and centered between Los Angeles and San Diego. I had to mark it down because it is located in California which is it's only flaw. The view and sounds of the ocean...Amazing. There are so many things to do that are near by. For a military base the price is double most other bases but it's worth it knowing they have security, lifeguards, and a stretch of beach you can enjoy. Highly recommended for those people who are authorized to access the marine base.

Loved stopping here and watching the surfers. We walked the beach a little but mostly just sat at watched. Our granddaughter loved that the surfers stopped and talked to her about surfing as they were getting ready to wash off.

Stunning campsite on the an amazing surf break. Showers, bathrooms, laundry, and sites with water/power and cottages as well. Highly recommended for anyone with base access.
