We had a wonderful time. We had an inland site but still had a view 50' across from us. Try to book a site with hook-ups on the ocean side. If you are dry camping there is a sewer dump site inside the park. Restaurants, shopping and the Carlsbad Premium outlets are very close. However, if you don't want to leave there is a store, restaurant and live music! The ocean waves were loud enough that I really didn't notice any road noise on the inland side. There are bathrooms, showers, barbecue pits and water hose bibs interspersed between the campsites. Be sure to check out the Cinni Minis and the taco stand at the Carlsbad Outlets. Both were Amazing! The views are spectacular and you can walk down to the sand. Note: When people leave reviews I always wonder what is their experience, type of camping, etc 10 trips CA, AZ NV, UT, CO 39 days 24' Pleasue Way Pursuit 2 dogs Husband & wife Beginners Prior: OR, WA, ID, IL, MT, ND, NE.

Site #111. Hard to get sites on the bluff side of the campground. Good beach access from anywhere in the campground. Very swimmable beach. Location is both a curse (right on main road) and a blessing (walk to stores and restaurants). Campers are quiet, lots of families. Clean restrooms and lots of staff on-site.

Camped here a few times. Hard to get reservations. 6 mo in advance. Get an ocean side site. Street side noisy from traffic. Ocean side noisy from nice crashing waves. Few sites with hook ups. ADA Sites. Cafe in campground is terrific. Outdoor seating only and a lil store. It's up on a bluff, so u need to go up and down stairs to the beach. Luv it here! 😎

Great location for camp site! No guests allowed, and parking is extremely limited. Very difficult to get spaces. Update 1/29/22, the sites are still a bit run down. However, the new shop is 5 star and independent of the park. Maybe it will rub off on the park.

Nice affordable campground. Enjoy the beach or hop on the train to San Diego within walking distance. Apparently they don't have laundry in winter. Not sure why, for off season there are still lots of people here this time of year.
