40ft diesel pusher fit no problem. Lots of safe walking area. Constant beautiful views with picturesque landscapes to be enjoyed. San Clemente in general was a beautiful area with the small town charm.

Pretty cool camp ground. With a short walk down to beach. Although the walk could be somewhat hard for some people, and definitely not wheelchair accessible due to the fact that it's a bit of a decline walking path down, which ends at the metrolink train track which you have to cross to get to the beach. But the camp ground has a spectacular view from the top of the walking path before the decline which is a huge open plato with picnic benches placed all around with trees for shade. Great fir large groups or for many small groups. The beach was clean and their were life guards on duty. But make sure to pay attention to the red flags when deciding on your spot because red flag means rocks which let me tell you, IT MEANS ROCKS! like big boulders that are only visible when waves revise bak for only a moment until another waves comes in and crashes over it. And beside them the waves crash right at shore creating a huge trench full of tons of rocks so your legs get beat up for sure. and you cannot swim where the flags are because it's very difficult to get pass the rocky trench since it's again wherr the waves crash. So from my experience it's not the best beach to go swimming at. But if your surfing or boogie boarding maybe it's more fit for that. Also I don't know how it was in other areas where there wasn't a red flag. I'm sure much better. I'd definitely return here again to find out!

Beautiful & clean! We camped here for 4 days & 3 nights. The view is remarkable. There's is a path that takes you right down to the ocean. It is a VERY steep path! It was a little tricky getting down & especially so coming back up! The campsite is clean with a fire pit and covered picnic bench at each site. There are multiple bathrooms & pay to use showers that are well maintained on the grounds.

One of the best camping site with full RV hookups and awesome view of the Pacific Ocean!!! Very dark evenings allowing for perfect view of all the constellations..on full moons, its so bright you don’t need a flash light to hike to the beach. Shore fishing is great as they have grunions runs, plenty of sandcrab bait, and super secluded beach. Wave are mesuim awesome for surfing and boogie boarding. Great plac to have family parties until 10pm.

A pretty long walk down to the beach be prepared a wagon helps! There is campground for overnight stays. It costs to park but we'll worth it. Fairly clean, only a few rocks and very little seaweed. Overall great beach!
