Good to Know Before You Book

Like most coastal state beaches, San Elijo is primarily dry camping. If you conserve water and add one of our generators, you’ll have everything you need for a comfortable stay. The campground has a great layout to know before you book: the group site sits in the middle, and the sites that aren’t right on the ocean tend to be a bit more protected from the wind. The south side of the campground slopes down from ocean-view sites up on the hill all the way to sites that walk right onto the beach — and if you’re lucky enough to snag one of the farthest-south spots, you’re in for something special. Wherever your site is, we can bring any trailer in our fleet in and set it up for you, so you never have to worry about maneuvering.
