Closest campground or cheeeeeep motel to LJ?
![]() ![]() 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 |

This is an option where you may be able to get a spot.
http://www.mtrp.org/campground.asp 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
http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=654 http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=662 http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=660 These are all easy drives to LJ and you even may just decide to check out the waters in front of the camp. |

A little ways further East but that might be off-set by the price (?)...Santee Lakes or Lake Jennings both have campgrounds. Jenning's has weekend night fishing for dinker cats...

There's also De Anza Cove.
http://www.sandiego.gov/park-and-rec...anzacove.shtml "Urban camping" is a legit option if you really want to get after it hardcore... 12+ hrs on the water and you can pretty much sleep anywhere, why not at La Jolla shores? Showers are over-rated ![]() |

If you get a few miles out of town the motels get cheaper. Encinitas Days Inn or EconoLodge, for example. A little closer and more $ is Hampton in in Del Mar.
You can run a bike cable lock through your scupper holes and leave it on your car. |

Try priceline.com for the hotels , I've use it in the past and had some good luck in finding a decent place to stay at for 40-$50 a night.
