| The campgrounds at San Clemente State Beach are on bluffs high above the ocean. They are great for tent or RV camping (full hookups are available). Most of the campsites are hard-packed dirt with low shrubbery. All are wheelchair accessible. Two in the hookup area and one in the tent area are are reserved for campers with wheelchairs.
The paths leading from the campgrounds down to the beach are extremely long and steep. We skidded down (dangerously) only to encounter soft sand on the inland side of the railroad tracks. We were still quite far from the water. But there are better ways: if you call (949) 492-5172, you can get a ride down to the beach. Pack everything you’ll need for the day because there are no facilities on the beach. The beautiful ribbons of color in the cliffs are one reason to make the journey.
Restrooms
Restrooms on the bluffs have good access, with wide stalls and grab bars. Coin-operated showers have flip-down seats and low shower heads. There are no temperature controls for the showers, and the water was barely warm on our visit.
