Camping near a beach, not far from Tokyo

Camping near a beach, not far from Tokyo - Camping  Dome Tent Near a Body of Water

I am looking for a place to camp (tent, coming by bicycle or train), at walking distance from a beach, and not far from Tokyo.

Any recommendation?

I have found a few lists of camping addresses, but no reasonably exhaustive map.
There are lists in PDF format, but it is really hard to estimate location from that.
The ideal would be a Google-Maps-based mashup showing all campings, if that exists?



Best Answer

I've heard of people camping on the beach at Enoshima, but I don't think it's an official campground. Enoshima is about 1:30 from Tokyo and the station is a block or two from the beach.
