What are the best campsites on this park?
Hi 805 Surf Girl,
I see we did not list our favorite campsites at San Clemente State Beach. Let me get with the crew and we will post those on the San Clemente web page early next week.
Hi 805 Surf Girl,
There’s a lot of nice campsites at San Clemente State Beach. Several good sites with and without hookups. Our San Clemente State Beach campground page has a list of our favorite/best campsites.
I have reservations for site #84 and #97 at San Clemente State Beach. Which site would you recommend to gather with the rest of our party?
Hi Michelle,
I think San Clemente State Beach campsite #97 has a little more room for your gathering and also offers glimpses of the ocean.
