Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

(March 2019) Driving on I-5, spotted this USMC Osprey helicopter on the helipad, propellers turning. I pulled-off at a scenic turnout nearby. No sooner had I pointed my camera the helicopter began to lift-off! In the background is the Pacific Ocean shoreline.... and the closed (2013) San Onofre Nuclear power plant.
California beach dayz - a little rocky, but warm sand and surfing. Gotta love it 
August 2018
In San Onofre California they have camp grounds on the bluffs and great #hiking trails with the most beautiful views where the bluffs meat the ocean.

Easy check-in, friendly staff, clean room. The air didn't work in our room, but we had a nice outdoor breeze, so we didn't worry about it. I did inform the staff when checking out. The food at the cantina is a bit bland and pricey, but convenient. All in all a good stay.
