What others are saying about this campground
San Mateo Campground is a great option for those looking to experience the beach and town of San Clemente. This campground offers campsites for both RV and tent venturers, with check-in typically beginning at 2 p.m. Each site includes a fire pit ring with grill and wooden picnic table, and the campground is conveniently located near the beach and town of San Clemente. The campground also offers hot showers, and firewood is sold at the campsite for $7 a bundle. The campground is located close to the San Onofre Nuclear Plant, which was closed in 2013, and the campground is also close to a military base. The trail between the campground and beach is 1.5 miles, and the campground also offers a nature hike with informational signs. The campground offers flush toilets and electrical and water hook-ups, but it lacks privacy, nature, and the feeling of getting away from the city. The campground is also close to San Diego and Costa Mesa, making it a convenient halfway point for family members.

From The Campground

San Onofre State Beach is a popular destination for surfers, located 3 miles south of the city of San Clemente on Interstate 5 at Basilone Road. The beach is divided into three breaks spots known as “The Point,” “Old Man’s,” and “Dogpatch.” All perform best on a south swell, though the beach takes any surf and slows it down to a very slow pace. The entire area is covered by a rock reef, often making walking into or out of the water difficult. The San Mateo Campground is located on the outer edge of San Clemente; 1 mile inland from I-5 (Exit Cristianitos). Camping is available on the bluffs with cold showers and 'flush' pit toilets nearby. The campground is equipped with an Automated RV Dump Fee Collection System by Sani-Star, LLC. Camp trailer rentals are available through LUV-2-CAMP, LLC and The Holidays Delivered.
