Hello Landa

Looks like the majority of the beachfront campsites can hold a 34 RV. There may be one exception.
I would go ahead and reserve a site soon, especially if you want beachfront. Reservations can be made 7 months in advance.

Have a great trip and thanks for visiting our website.

Hello I’m looking to come for a few days in October. Are all of the beachfront campsites capable to hold a 34 foot RV?

Hello Kim

There are 16 RV campsites only. The balance of the campsites you can use a tent. There is also a separate group tent site at the far end of the Doheny State Beach Campground. You can see this tent only area in the image in the article above. As long as the campsite is not RV only you can drive in, walk in or bike in and set up a tent.

Hope this clears things up.

In reply to DayTrippen. I called the 1800# about the separate tent site camping area and they said there was no such area. Tent camping at Doheny is booked with a standard site in the main campground. Anyone know if this is untrue?

I’m looking into tent camping at Doheny and called the reservation number as suggested in an above post saying that tent camping is separate from the rest of the campground and to call the 1800 #. I called the number however they said there is no separate tent camp area. It’s all at the main campground and to book any standard site for tent camping. Anyone know if this is untrue?

At Doheny Beach, the tent camping area is separate from the rest of the campground. Toll-free telephone number 1-800-444-7275 for reservations. Good luck getting through.

Here is the breakdown on Cancellations from Reserve America.

Cancellations can be made up to and on the day of arrival.

Cancellations after 5pm PST/7pm CST/8pm EST the day prior to arrival date will also be charged the first night’s use fee.

A reserved site is held until 12pm (noon) PST the day after arrival date. After 12pm (noon) PST the reservation is cancelled as a no-show.

Cancellations will also result in the cancellation fee of $7.50 being deducted from your refund for each site reserved.

Total fees deducted from your refund are $15.50. The $8.00 non-refundable reservation fee + the $7.50 cancellation fee.

If we make a reservation and have to cancel is there a fee and how far in advance? Also, is there a number to call to make reservations? One last thing, can RV and tent sites be by each other or on the same one site or in the same area on the beach?

Good news is dogs are allowed in the campground, not on the beach. I have seen campers with a dog sitting on the beach in front of their site.

Reservations are difficult to get, 2 -3 sites together all but impossible. Keep checking the reservation link in the above post and you may be able to pick up a canceled reservation. (they happen all the time)
