Lovely campground close to coastline access, plenty of shade, dog friendly and clean bathrooms. Only downside is the abundance of poison oak along the perimeter of the campground and along trails

The location of this site is absolutely perfect. Secluded, no cell phone service, and less than a 5 minute easy walk down to the beach. Even with the site being completely full, it didn’t feel like it. Will definitely stay again.

Stayed in campsite number 30 when we arrived. It was not clean, but we were able to empty out the ashes from the fire pit. There was no official camp host like during our previous trips. There were a lot of people for the holiday weekend one of the biggest issues we had after camping here Several times was that there was no one constantly cleaning the restrooms and at one point only one restroom was open for the south side of the campsites overall would return, but I'm hoping that they will get someone that will clean, especially during busy weekend.

The camp host is amazing--so kind and conscientious. And the campsite is of course beautiful.
