Great place to camp with a beautiful beach across Highway 1. Steep access but worth it!

We love this campground. I especially like riding my bike to the end of the road without much traffic because of the landslide closure. It's just far enough away that it's not too far.

Campground hosts were very nice. They kept the place clean. Even though there’s no water in the bathrooms to wash your hands, they kept the bathrooms very clean. Super nice place to camp, but I don’t recommend anybody else going there. The reason is I wanna make sure I can find a spot the next time I go :)

Clean and beautiful campsite located between the ocean and the mountain.
Some of the toilets are flush-type.

Beautiful campground with close walking access to Sand Dollar Beach, fun surf & beautiful sunsets. We also road our bikes into Gorda, it was a pleasant ride, say hi to John if you stop by the store! A short hike up the dirt fire road south of camp gets you cell service
