The best beach camping near Montrose

Montrose packs over 490 beach camping options, stretching from sandy coves to rocky bluffs. You’ll find sites where the surf’s close enough to lull you to sleep, and sunrise means a direct walk from your tent to the water. Most campsites offer showers, welcome pets, and allow campfires—handy for drying off or winding down after a swim. Summer draws swimmers and sandcastle builders, but you’ll also spot hikers headed for nearby trails and snow sports fans when winter hits the high country. Scan reviews and look for sites with easy beach access if you want quick dips between meals, or pick a spot tucked behind dunes for more privacy. Book early if you want the prime locations—they go fast, especially with pet owners and groups chasing a classic campfire night under the stars.
