Not as hard to get a spot as Kirk Creek, and in much better condition.

Site 33 is the best because of how secluded it is. Had a great time except for all the ticks. So be careful and stay out of tall grass.

We were at site 21 which had a really nice view of the ocean. We appreciated that most at sunset. The campground is beautiful and the walk to the water was relatively short. Some things to note - There is a road near site #21 that campers aren't allowed in and whatever is back there had a loud generator that ran for many hours, including at 5am. The $15 "bundle" of firewood that was sold at the campground consisted of 5 tiny pieces of wood, definitely remember to pack your own. The sinks weren't running in the bathroom but that didn't matter much to us. We would absolutely come back to this campground!
