If you’re planning on adding America’s Finest City to your road trip itinerary this summer, you won’t want to miss these two beachfront camping spots.
Nestled between Imperial Beach and Coronado you’ll find Silver Strand State Beach. One visit and you’ll understand why it’s called that. Here you can enjoy swimming, surfing, boating, kayaking, water-skiing, volleyball, camping and picnicking. Anglers can fish for perch, corbina, grunion and yellow-fin croaker.
The area also features a wonderful bike path, part of the Bayshore Bikeway, that takes riders past the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge and offers great views of the bay and skyline. (sandiego.org)
Silver Strand State Beach offers both day-use and overnight RV camping, picnic areas, bathroom and shower facilities and fantastic shell collecting. The spot is named for the silvery oyster shells that cover the beach and dunes here and you can also find clams buried in the sand by the water. A lot of the folks who camp here are repeat customers, visitors who’ve fallen in love with The Strand and return for a visit year after year. (www.parks.ca.gov)
Overnight camping is available for self-contained RVs. (vans with water tanks – ok)
When campers stay at Campland, they never have to leave during their stay. There are so many amenities and activities offered, it seems like a family camp. Camping here is an all-encompassing, family-friendly experience.
