CAMPGROUND HIGHLIGHTS

San Onofre State Beach Campground has two camping areas along the coast—San Onfre Bluffs and San Mateo.

The San Onofre Bluffs Section

The bluffs section has campsites along old Hwy 101, near the coast.The campground doesn't have much in the way of trees, but has plenty of hiking trails, as well as greenery and schrubs, with flowers blooming during spring and summer.

The campground is located along on cliffs overlooking San Onofre's beautiful, prestine beaches below.

San Onofre State Beach is a popular surfing spot. Several scenic hiking trails make their ways down to this beach, which can also be reached easily by car.

The San Mateo Section

The San Mateo section of San Onofre State Beach Campground is inland, about a one and a half mile walk to Trestles Beach, a world class surfing site. San Mateo Creek flows just east of the campground outward towards the ocean creating key riparian and wetland habitats which host some rare and even endangered species. All campsites include a fire pit and picnic table. Hookup sites are available with electricity and water. Other camping amenities include a dump-station, hot indoor showers, and flush toilets.
