I am going camping in march with a few friends and was interested in camping ON the beach, not BY the beach. Does anyone know of a beach that rents spaces to campers so we can set up tents on the beach? Im looking anywhere south of tampa/daytona either coast!

Has anybody ever camped at Thousand Trails Campground- Soledad Canyon, California (near Acton)? How is it?
California
I've made reservations to camp there over Labor Day weekend with my older pop-up camper & 1 dog. Can you have fires? Any shade? Is it a nice place to camp? I usually do more rustic camping, but thought I'd give it a try for the holiday.
Answer
I have been there twice and thought it was fun for trailer camping, and not as fun for just tent camping. There are big (no giant!) cottonwood for shade, nice bathrooms, and very pleasant people who tend to stay there. It was low key, with good spaces. When I was there last year, we could have campfires. You can call them direct at (800) 205-0606 and ask about this year. Their normal business hours are M-Th 8am-4pm. There were horseshoes set up and Bocce Ball. It will definitely be more "organized" than you are used to, it sound like, but you should have a very nice time. I know local families that go there each summer for family reunions.
Have fun!
PS - Another suggetsion.... Have you ever tried near the top of Mt. Pinos (McGill Campground) up I-5 past Gorman to the Frazier Park exit, then follow the Frazier Park road west most of the way to the top of Mt. Pinos (8300 ft - pine trees, flowers, meadows, both rustic and trailer/RV camping are allowed.) I love this spot. Only problem is that you have to bring all of your own water. It's $12/night, and the night sky up there has been attracting amateur astronomers with their telescopes for 30 years near the New Moon. They will let you look through their scopes for free and you'll be able to see galaxies, planets and nebulae thousands of light years away. Wow!
