We love this camp ground. Third time coming here.. love it love it.. This time.. squirrels chewed my hubby's engine wires. A cost we can't afford.. Be careful! Otherwise, enjoy the site. More

My family of nine spent two days at space # 151. Very large site compared to most. The bathrooms were nice and clean. Lots of large bushes everywhere. Our neighbors on either side had loud music at night and a generator running most of the day that were very annoying. We slept peacefully, though, once the music was turned off.... More

My best friend and I took our families camping at this campground based on the great reviews and the location to the beach. The campground was very nice, it was clean. The restrooms were cleaned daily and we always had a hot shower. We got lucky with our site and had a decent sized site. Be careful when you choose... More

Restrooms cleanliness is beyond expectation, hot showers are great, take at least $5 in quarters for showers, .25 gives a 2.5 minute shower, TP is provided. Fire pit and picnic tables are provided, the Camp Hosts at the time were great, thanks Loyd.... More

I just camped out at San Mateo Campground Aug 18th to 20th ‘08. I took all the neighborhood kids, many of them are on the High School Surf Team and we all loved every minute of it. We had to reserve two different spots #122 and #103 both nice and we couldn’t see our neighbors due to the dense bushes... More

My family and I were looking for a quick get away near Orange County and we found it. I must admit I was concerned when I read several bad reviews ranging from too much noise to stolen articles. San Mateo is located off the 5fwy and Exit Cristianitos. Camp Pendleton Marines actually own the property but camping is open to... More

We have stayed at the San Mateo Campground in the past and it has been fine. This time we were disappointed to discover that there is no one there to check anyone in during the evening hours. We arrived around 7:00 p.m. both nights this past week. Although we booked our reservations through the website and had our confirmation numbers... More
