Beautiful area, but tent spot was super small and area was so close to the main road we decided not to stay the night after a couple days of backpacking. Went down to the awesome sandy beach to dip our toes in the water before heading out and had to navigate a severely broken down “staircase” to and from. Surprised with how popular the campground is that towards the end of July the pathway down to the beach would not be more accessible.

Stayed in site C5. Looking at other sites, this one was not the best but it was certainly better than others. Fit a big tent. It was close to the bathroom (but not close enough to hear or smell it) but otherwise very private. Lots of vegetation gave privacy and the ocean covered most of the sound of other campers. Close walk to the beach. Overall, very clean campground. Would stay here again.

This campground is set steps from beach access, in a wooded area. The fog tends to roll in from the beach often, so be prepared with layers and things being a bit moist! The facilities (bathrooms, water etc) were good.

We really enjoyed camping here and will again if we are lucky enough to score reservations. The proximity to the beach is fantastic and for us was the highlight. If you have a large tent, like we did, pay attention to tent pad size in the description. Our site F2 was in direct view of our neighbors. Luckily that wasn’t an issue since they had an RV, but something to note. Bathroom availability can be a bit of an issue. There were only two stalls per gender to service a pretty large area. It really just depends on how many people are tent camping vs RVing. When we went there were a lot of tent campers so the restrooms got crowded and only one sink worked. Another thing was getting water. Our location by the restrooms was out of service so we needed to go to the next restroom over and that was a pretty far walk to carry water. Those issues were really not a big deal for us, but just giving others a heads up. Overall a really great campground and we hope to camp here again!

It took us several years to finally successfully reserve a camping site. It was frustrating to see several unoccupied sites while there knowing our struggles to reserve an open site. I suggest that if a party does not arrive at a site on their arrival date by 7:00pm, they be fined at least $200 and the site be given away to another party. (If the fines are petty, people won’t care) This would also help funding the upkeep for the park.
