The Huntington Beach Trail, a paved multi-use pathway, runs between the RV campground and the beach. Caution should be used when crossing the path. A paved access trail leads across the sand to the high tide mark, providing access to the beach for wheelchairs and for others to reach the water without trudging through deep sand. The fire pits on the sand are not included with the campsites and are on a daily first-come, first-served basis for all beach visitors.


Suggestions and Comments from Previous Campers at Bolsa Chica State Beach

  1. Campsites are right next to the beach and the bike trail.
  2. Sites are wide enough for slides.
  3. A concrete pad by each site provides room for chairs, BBQs, etc.
  4. Bring firewood for an evening fire on the beach using the fire pits.
  5. Communal picnic tables available but not right at your site.
  6. Reserve your space well in advance for summer camping.
