My biggest issue was the toilets at the group sites. The regular camp sites have flush toilets but the group sites have pit toilets. Although inside the restroom was clean they smelled like they hadn’t been cleared out for many many months. We stayed at GS2 and GS1 was just below us. Each site had their own pit toilets but unfortunately as the wind blew up the hill towards our site we often got this horrible smell of their toilets. This was a huge downer because the time we wanted to spend at the camp site, we had to also smell shit wafting in the breeze. That’s why I only give my review a “Good” rating Instead of “Excellent”. I’m happy we had a nice big Santa Maria grill, fire pit, plenty of tables (all in good shape), and drinkable water on site! That made me really happy because the website said to bring all your own drinking water. The attendants were super chill and friendly. Fire wood was expensive but I brought all my own wood. Neighbor’s were quiet and we couldn’t really hear the other campers at the regular sites. There was poison oak everywhere as well so we had to keep a close eye out for dogs and children. No showers on site so be prepared if you want to rinse off. We brought a little portable shower head pump which worked just fine. Also the camp site had pretty much no flat ground so all of our tents were slammed downhill towards GS1. I think that’s all hahah what a fun time we had going to Sand Dollar and grilling up together. Till next time or maybe not if they don’t clean out those dang toilets.

Plenty of space for a tent.
Near bathroom so expect foot traffic going through the site.

bathroom clean and spacious, good drinking water. Campground is very child and family friendly. We stayed here for 5 days and loved walking across the road to visit sand dollar beach for swimming and jade cove for rock hounding. We had a blast.
