Loved this campground. The location is beautiful, remote and the sites are well spaced. We were there early April. Lucked in to sunny, blue skies, near 80 degrees We were in the D loop in a site backing up to the beach. Slept with windows open in our RV all night to listen to the crashing waves. Pure heaven on earth.

Wish there were hot water showers but not a deal breaker. We were a little early for the seasonal opening of our favorite restaurant though. 😥

A simply magical campsite. Because there is no hook up power it's just quieter. So you can hear the ocean.

Overall, my experience was great. I had a bit of a bathroom emergency and that was how I realized half the bathrooms were closed. That part was NOT cool. I asked a park ranger which was open and was told but I took my bike to alllll the bathrooms afterwards and the only ones I could find open were there D loop ones. When I was told B loop was too. Idk with thst many people why bathrooms would be closed, but I get it. Otherwise, I had a great time and already booked a return trip!

Nice and quiet on D loop without any generator noise. Brought a propane fire pit as wood fires not allowed. Bought 4WD permit to go on beach at ramp 72 to surf fish. Awesome experience. Not many resturants open in early March. Campground host Keith is a retired Marine and nice guy to talk with. Can't believe they work for nothing but a site to stay in. No law enforcement Rangers in the campground when we were there, but they did patrol the beach. Campground reasonably quiet that time of year. Nice!

This is a great camp ground. I felt totally safe and supported. The grounds, cites, and facilities were all pristine. The hosts are wonderful and a great source of information. I am already making plans to return!

The most amazing campground I have ever stayed at. The sites were incredible, a short walk away from the beach, the facilities were clean and well stocked, and the camp host was kind and a treat to talk with! Will be back, highly recommend
