Closest campground or cheeeeeep motel to LJ?

[StinkyMatt]

Wife, kids visiting family in Ohio for 10 days. I couldn't go.

Plan on spending a few salty days in LJ. Where is the closest cheap motel, preferably somewhere where I could secure my kayak, even drag it into the room?

I know about campland on the bay, any other campgrounds close?


Thanks, Matt

The Balboa exit is 5 minutes from the launch.

This is an option where you may be able to get a spot.

There are many campgrounds up the coast but this time of the year may be tough.

San Onofre State Beach Campground
South Carlsbad State Beach Campground
San Elijo State Beach Campground
Silver Strand State Beach Campground
Harbor Beach Campground

Actually I just did a quick check, looks like there are spots open at these

These are all easy drives to LJ and you even may just decide to check out the waters in front of the camp.

Not sure if this will work for you but it's sort of camping.
