Getting Outdoors

Whether you're sunbathing, surfing, or building sandcastles, beaches are the main event at San Onofre. Experienced surfers make a beeline for Trestles, a notorious surf break known for monster waves. Surfers have been riding redwood boards here since the 1940s, though today you'll see modern foam and fiberglass thrusters.

Camping at San Onofre State Beach

This was my first time renting a camper van and it was an absolute blast!!! The van was super easy to drive, and had everything I needed for a getaway. I’ll definitely be renting this one again.

Wonderful experience. Went camping to Lake Hemet with the family. Lacey did an amazing job communicating before the trip to ensure everything was ready to go. We got there and the trailer was set up perfectly. It was so nice coming to the camp grounds with everything waiting for us. The trailer is very nice and spacious an clean! Easily fit our family of 5. Would absolutely rent from Lacey again!
