One of my favorite campgrounds. Thick forest. Tall trees. Fresh air. Plenty of bike riding areas for kids and adults between campgrounds.

One of my favorite spots! I love sue meg state park. Defo coming back. Great amenities. Solid privacy from other campers. Beautiful and iconic eco tone.

First time staying here and we loved it! There was lots of wildlife so make sure you listen when they tell you to lock up your food!

Awesome facility great amenities. The only reason for four stars is the booking process. We did not have reservations, but they did have plenty of openings. The website shows completely booked. They told us we have to check out and back in to the same spot, because they don't know if our space is reserved the following day. I guess I just don't understand why they don't know if spots are reserved or not??? Seems like their processes could use updating. Like I said, no complaints other than that. Park ranger was very friendly and helpful, as I could tell she also isn't a fan of the system.

Quietest ocean side campground I've ever stayed at. If you actually want to enjoy nature than camp here. If you want to turn camping into a night club than take that to the desert and leave it there.

Awesome spot for camping along the NorCal coast. This campground has a trail going from the parking lot down to the beach, but be careful as the last 20ft of the trail consists of boulders and a rickety "ladder" made of logs and steel cables. Definitely not an ADA friendly access to the beach.

Easy access to shoreline via the rim trail. Thickly settled, but I’ve seen worse. We had totally rambunctious immediate neighbors, but that’s the luck of the draw. Would return if I was a camper and/or didn’t live on the East coast.

One of our favorite places. We come here every year and spend about a week. We love this campground. The majority of sites are very spacious and private. The kids love the paved roads and riding bikes. The weather is wonderful and there are little to no bugs! I wish the state would update the bathrooms. Bathrooms and showers are generally clean but very old. Lots of easy hikes and lovely views.

Family favorite. Most of the campsites are screened from each other by forest plants. Each site has a fire pit, picnic table, and food cupboard. Some of the bathrooms have quarter operated showers. Handicap accessible camp sites are available. Trail from the campsite is a 10 -15 minute walk to Palmers Point- a beautiful place to watch sunset, tide pools at low tide (down many stairs), and look out over the sea lions.
