Our favorite beach! We've been coming here for almost 20 years. We love camping here, but it is difficult to get reservations. They have bathrooms and showers so bring your quarters. It is a laidback, safe, clean beach. Sad to see some of the shops like Robataille's closing.

A great location close to the beach and walking distance to the city center. Some spots are very small, be Mindful when booking. We noticed that the rangers were approaching RV's not obeying to the quiet hours. Much appreciated. We did notice many dogs without a leash and dog poop at several places. This is against the park rules. Being more strict on this would have been appreciated by us.

This is a tent city. Families living in their tent or car with what looks like long term space. There is a loud train and loud children who cry all night dogs who bark in the campers and kids who sound like they are being hurt. I wanted to call police at least 3 times during our stay. We didnt make it to the beach they talk about because I was to nervous to get out of the van...look elsewhere!! Like another state...
flat track
We used the RV park and it was fine. The spaces are tight and on asphalt. Our spot was too far away from the power to plug in without an extension chord. A great location and view. Remember to bring rubbing alcohol for the oil that you'll get on your feet and shoes.

Beautiful state beach located within walking distance of downtown Carpinteria, great restaurants and low key beach town vibe. Day use parking fee $10, respectable restrooms, outside showers. Lovely dune boardwalk.
