Need to fix your water problem or shrink the number of sites so sinks work

The camp road needs maintenance. Big potholes. Some of the sites have broken pavement. The trial to the beach is about to fail and needs immediate attention!

It is still a beautiful camp and well kept. But there are some HUGE pot holes in the camp road that must be repaired. And I know the Forest Service is responsible as well but the trail down to Sand Dollar beach is on the verge of complete FAILURE. I am going to write the head of Los Padres about this.

Very clean. Allowed campfires. Hosts were friendly. Relatively close beach walks. A little cool and breezy but likely normal for early May.
