Choose from a Variety of Campsites
San Diego Tent Camping at Campland on the Bay
Campland is the only place to allow tent camping in the City of San Diego. We welcome tent campers and have a variety of sites to offer. Campland on the Bay is full of amenities to enhance your camping experience. There are plenty of restrooms with hot showers, two pools, and hot tubs, a beach, a Cantina & full bar, market & coffee, marina, and watersports rentals. It’s not just camping!
We do have a maximum stay of 14 days for tent campers in all areas of the park except for the Primitive section which has a 7-day maximum stay.
Our sites are popular for tents. We recommend the shady west side of the campground for tent camping at Campland. Our tent sites come with a picnic table and some have fire rings. Tent campers get up to two-passenger vehicle passes included with their site.
