My boyfriend and I are planning to drive to SD from phx to go tent camping on a beach for a weekend. I have tried to look up beaches in San Diego to camp but so many around LA pop up and that is too far a drive for us. I would seriously love any recommendations of camp sites that have an ocean view-not a bay- from anyone to make my search easier! Thanks!


Answer
The drive from phx to la is shorter than you think, Google map your route, however forget camping at so cal beaches this year as all are reservations only and were booked up completely 6 months ago. To try and get reservations go to these two web sites,

I can't seem to find a beach that allows tent camping. I've found several beaches that allow bonfires, but no luck on tent camping. Any help?
