San Onofre Beach Camp Pendleton — Local services in San Clemente

View- priceless we had a beachfront site #4 and paid $76 a night. The view is absolutely amazing sunset and sunrise view of the water literally the sand is across the street the beach is there. Our spot was sloped but he had a motor home and that was fine. It sounded like a previous guest cancelled with a travel trailer because of the incline was too steep for them to be level. Check in- booking online is super easy the down side is you don't know what site number you are booking thankfully when we got there we were able to see what was available for our size and choose from there but it would be nice to see the site number online unless I missed it when booking. Check in area has games to rent for $10 a day frisbee game corn hold connect 4 or Jenna they have snacks and small important items you may have forgot to pack hats sunscreen and boogie boards and surfboards for rent. Beach- so beautiful we loved the rocks and there is an area where it is rock free to get all the way in which we did the water was warm enough. It was probable in front of sites 25-40 where it's walk up and walk in beach no rocks. We saw dolphins and a lot of birds and crabs. On our first upper campsite it's in a second level there were a lot of bees but once we moved to site 4 by the water there were no bugs a few flys but no mosquitoes or anything biting or stinging early or late at night Showers/restrooms- super clean we loved that my husband always compliments the cleanliness of a base bathroom usually. This place was stocked with toilet paper and super clean bring shower sandals and enjoy hot showers. Playground/ work out area- we loved the playground my little guy sprained his ankle jumping from up high and landing wrong but I don't think it was the playgrounds fault my 6/3 year old loved it it was big enough for both to enjoy not too big not too small challenging for both of them.! We went to muscle beach workout area daily to get a quick workout in every single day and loved it! My kids loved it and it was fun. I would come back and high recommend this space to fellow Yelp family and friends. Noise level- we did not have any loud neighbors at all everyone was respectful and quiet. There is a train near by but it didn't wKe my kids or bug me. I'm an early riser and it wasn't that bad for us and worth the view but I could see how someone would be bothered or unable to sleep in late or if you're a light sleeper. It was amazing I recommend this location 5/5...

Let me preface by saying this was the first time my BF and I stayed at this campsite and we’re both light sleepers. With that said, this place was the W.O.R.S.T. experience I’ve ever had! Before coming here I read the reviews which had a high average rating. I also came across the posted pictures and thought, “this place is so cute! Look at the bungalows right by the beach!” Thinking it was the perfect serene local getaway during this covid time, this place was anything but peaceful. BF and I didn’t sleep a wink last night because 1. It’s close to the busy 5 fwy, 2. There’s a train track right next to us and was in constant use, 3. Flight training occurred throughout the night (we later asked service desk if training happens every night and she confirmed it) and 4. Because of 1-3, one of my two dogs barked at any abruptness to the already-loud surrounding. Even with earplugs in, it was one of the worst sleep I’ve ever had. We were so close to leaving in the middle of the night but because we didn’t want to disturb other campers with flashlights and packing things up and my BF’s really bright LED headlights from his Jeep, we decided to muddle through it. In the morning we went for a stroll to check out the lay of the land and realized we were in the last row of the campsite where the fwy and train track noise were the loudest and thought we would fare better if we had a spot in the first row right next to the beach so you get the calming sound of the waves instead of the madness we experienced last night. Or, get a cabin instead. I’m not sure I would come back again to test either theory though. Yes folks, this place was that loud - at least at the last row of the campsite. If you’re a light sleeper like myself,...

JAN 2023 Stayed on the bluff in "new rv/camp spots". Think it is Bluff Spots 101 to 109? Closest to Clubhouse spots on bluff. Full hook ups. Loved that. Large Camp Spot, Surface was crushed small rocks, that kept down the mud. Cons: SPOT IS WAY BACK FROM BEACH VIEW, so ocean horizon view from your RV. My site backed up to a power pole, next door neighbor backed up to a 5' salvage wood covered drainage hole w/ keep out wire around it. So much road noise we could not hear the ocean. Really. With windows closed still Hwy 5 was night and day. You can get used to that until the motorcycle comes thru at 120 mph. I missed hearing the waves. Would never stay in those spots again. Cost per night $71, no winter rates anymore. Stayed 2 weeks, and left early. Note: Also..... Staff member & his manager standing next to him, whom checked me out at office never asked how my stay was - I thought that unusual, as this was a $1300 2 week stay at the - Marine Corps Base San Onofre. Closing on a positive note....++Helpful staff to mention....Missy, Mat, and...
