When are you planning on going to O'Neill? If it is mid week period, they let you scope the sites on your own and come back and register. There will be a lot to choose from. Friday, Sat nights can get busier.
I'm a little reluctant to recommend a site because everyone like different things and my memory is not quite perfect. Sites 15, 16, and 17 are very long pull throughs. As I recall they have good shady areas. Location of water faucets vary in the sites. Dump station is near sites 2,3 and 4.
I highly recommend this park for the $15. with senior discount. I sometimes take my nightly walk through the campground. If you have question, I can look. PM me.

Nearby Rose Canyon Cantina good place to grab a drink on their outside deck-very scenic in nice weather. Many good restaurants in nearby Rancho Santa Margarita. Also grocery stores, Target, etc. When you're in campground, it seems much more remote than location suggests. Traffic quiets down on Trabuco Canyon road in the evening after the commute. Campground is generally quiet at night. If you're planning at being out late, chat with ranger about how to get back into your spot.
