ATV rec area on miles of sand dunes and beach. The campground is an asphalt parking lot. Cool experience. Most riders are considerate. Bring your own friends.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the rules need to be enforced the amount of people per campground, the noise, the animals... it's like I booked a campsite in the middle of Tijuana. the facilities are clean and everything was really nice.Truly, just enforce the rules of the campsite and it would make it ten times better.

You know what you're getting when you go here. Great place to rip around the sand-- just make sure you're going the right direction through the trails and always keep an eye out for cross traffic.
