Great campground with a very friendly host. I’ve been camping here in my RV for nine years. Always in the winter months when it’s nice and quiet with few other campers. I’m 81 years old and will continue to spend time here as long as I can.

Never camped in this area before.
It’s beautiful, and given the Highway 1 closure just north of the campground, not crowded during the middle of the week in January.
I definitely would NOT recommend a trailer over 25 feet or an RV longer then 30 feet due to very narrow and curvy nature of Highway 1 in this area! My travel is 23, and with my tow vehicle, I was right at the limit of my comfort zone.
