I just called the operations office for the San Clemente State Beach and was told that we CAN smoke at our campsites. The number is 949-492-0802, we should get the person's name so we have someone to blame if we get tickets...lol.
Now the camp sites are not on the sand, they are up a hill, that is not too big, but not small either. Anyhow, a campfire herf in the middle of November, early december would be fun. We could also reserve a couple tent sites and just camp for a couple of days. Outdoor cooking smoking all day/night. Sounds like some fun.
