Doheny State Beach

Best Things Nearby:
The amusing thing about camping at Doheny-there is a 5-Star hotel directly across the street from the campground! You could sashay your fine self over to the hotel for happy hour or a midnight snack! Or walk across the other entrance of Doheny and grab some fast food from McDonald's or some other fast food eatery. Down the street a ways is Costco and Smart and Final for your camping supplies. Wal-Mart is not too far nor is the 99-Cent Store or Big Lots.

Best Things About the Resort:
What else can you say? It's the white, soft, sandy beaches that draws people to Dana Point in droves! Oh-If you noticed I checked off swimming pool-it is because the hotel doesn't mind visitors using the pool. Cool.

Resort Experience:
No electric, but RV, campers, and tents don't seem to mind the idyllic, beach setting. I camped at campsite 91 only twice within the last two years. This infrequency camping at this particular site indicates the massive popularity Doheny State Park commands. The reasons for Doheny's popularity entails the convenience leaving your RV or TV at the campsite, walking 1/2 mile to the Dana Point Harbor, hopping on a ferry to San Clemente! I rode the ferry to San Clemente in about 50 minutes from Dana Point Harbor. FYI: I bought my R/T ferry ticket from Camp Pendleton MWR at Mainside when I was buying my groceries when I was camping at San Mateo Campground, South of Doheny.
