Community Feedback on Overnight Camping Options

Community Feedback on Overnight Camping Options

In May, San Diego Coastkeeper joined other local environmental organizations at Silver Strand State Beach to learn about the campaign to create more accessible and affordable overnight camping options for the community. We viewed early schematics, prospective camping sites, and the potential for various installations.

Today, Silver Strand is a popular RV campground destination with over a hundred sites available to motorized recreational vehicle owners. However, these sites are limited to travelers who are able own (or rent) an RV.

California State Parks and Parks California facilitated a productive workshop that allowed Coastkeeper and participating leaders to discuss ideas for collecting feedback from community stakeholders around San Diego. We focused on including diverse voices and equitable access to the coast and outdoor accommodations.

Affordable and Accessible Coastal Camping in California

Affordable and Accessible Coastal Camping in California at Silver Strand State Beach

All people deserve the opportunity to explore & enjoy the natural beauty of California’s parks and beaches! Nearly 90 percent of Californians agree that the beach is personally important to them, yet almost half of them feel that overnight stays at the beach are inconvenient and unaffordable.

Interested in learning more? Meet us at Silver Strand State Beach! San Diego Coastkeeper and Surfrider Foundation San Diego will also host a beach cleanup on Saturday, July 16, 9-11 a.m. Parking is FREE for all registered volunteers.

JOIN THE BEACH CLEANUP

We’re excited about this program and the opportunities it will bring to San Diegans interested in affordable and accessible coastal camping. Spreading awareness and support for environmental justice issues like equitable access to our coast and waterways are critical to our work at Coastkeeper.
