Oceano Dunes Beach Campground offers primitive beach and dune camping with direct vehicle access to the sand, making it one of California's few beaches where you can drive and camp on the shoreline.

Four-wheel drive vehicles are highly recommended due to soft sand conditions; facilities include vault and chemical toilets, with a fee-based dump station available.

Reservations are available up to six months in advance through Reserve California, with camping at just $10 per night, and the area is open year-round for fishing, surfing, and off-highway vehicle recreation.
