The site I stayed at was private and wonderful! View of the ocean, pretty clean bathrooms and lots of space.

While the location is great with close proximity to the wide beach, the infrastructure was in poor condition. One restroom (out of 5) was closed due to water problems. There were sometimes a waiting line to get into the restrooms. The one closest to us had only one toilet in the men's room. There was no soap in the bathrooms. Water stations for filling water bottles had been installed at the restroom locations but none of them were in service. The sole source of drinking water was at the RV pump out station. Because of high use, the area around the spigot was flooded. The central stairs to the beach were washed out so you had to walk to one of the remaining two. On all the campground instructions there was strict rules about parking on pavement only and the maximum length of vehicle and campers at each site. These rules were not followed or enforced. Perhaps these problems are the result of a cut in funding, but it is a shame to see such a historic campground in such a dilapidated state.

We stayed here two nights. The first night was amazing. Absolutely well kept excellent experience and campground site. The second night at this site was not great. No privacy at all. Very small campsite. Nowhere to fit tent had to move it to the parking area which made it difficult to park our car. The biggest problem was the broken fire grill that only had three metal spokes remaining making it very difficult to cook our meals. We had an ocean view, but was greatly obscured by poison oak.

Enjoyed our stay BUT we found site A24 quite difficult to back into, even with our 21ft trailer : back-in sites are usually “driven past” and then backed into, but this one is the opposite and required some “borderline jack-knifing”

What a beautiful spot. The ocean is a view, but there was a bushes in way to see it. I climbed on top of my car roof rack to be able see the ocean at sunset. It was so beautiful. I loved being able to hear the ocean all night. There was steps not too far to be able to go down to beach. One of my favorite campsites.

Campground was absolutely beautiful, our site was pretty close up on other sites, but that’s camping generally. Only problem we ran into were the bathrooms. The bathroom in one of the loops was closed, so everyone in the two lower loops had to use the same bathroom resulting in it becoming extremely unclean and without certain items necessary to use it. Apart from that, the nature and climate were very desirable. Great overall experience!
