I Need my Camping People

Does anyone know how to book beach camping? I’ve literally been on all the websites trying to book a beach camping weekend for September I’ve tried for quite a few years and every time I go on the website it says that all the campsites in Southern California are booked. I literally do this year round and it’s always the same thing .
So can somebody help me? Is there a special number to call or how do I book a camping spot on the beach in Orange County in September?
I’ve always done mountain camping, but I really want to do beach camping weekend! So if anybody could shoot me a pier with any information that would be truly appreciated!!

Beach campgrounds open for reservations either 3 or 6 months before arrival date, they fill very quickly. Slim chance you find anything for September.

Go to reservecalifornia.com

Not sure if that is the site you are using - but it has all the information.

Pismo Beach in Grover city. Air your tires down 15 psi and bring a portable air compressor for after you leave the sand. Lower pressure creates floatation and helps from getting stuck in the sand.

The website Estimated mentioned is the way to go but the beach camping sites get booked so far in advance. Thornehill Broome in Malibu does offer 12 of their however many sites they have on a first come first serve basis. Officially the check in time is 2:00PM but on weekends people actually line up as early as 7:00AM to try and get a spot. Best of luck! Hope you can find one!

I was able to get a campsite at Crystal Cove, not exactly on the beach, but pretty close. Also not on the beach but I was able to roll in and find a site at Leo Carrillo State Park.
