We have stayed here several times in the past 3 years. We do like this location. There are a several of sites that accommodate our trailer (33 ft). The only downside is the proximity to highway 101. Some of the sites are fairly close to the road, and even though traffic decreases in the evening there are periodic trucks that go by. If there were a no-Jake-brake area here it would help with the night noise.

Some highway noise, somewhat primitive, but it's what I like.

Beautiful huge trees. Pleasant short hiking trails to a dune valley or around small lake.

Clean bathrooms but noisy barking dogs across from host. Also they hesitate to release camp sites with reservation no shows after 24 hours. It clearly states in your reservation -
Your Site will be released if not occupied within first 24 hours of arrival time.
There were other sites left sitting empty because they did not remove the “reserved” signage after 24 hours.
