Not bad for being in the middle of town, had a decent number of camping spots, I was with a school of fourth graders, and being located right next to the beach the kids got to learn about the water cycle, the tar that bubbles up , the coastal wildlife all in one trip. The rangers were all polite and we really appreciated all that helped out with this trip!

I have been camping here since forever. The camp sites are nice but you need to make reservations well in advance. The ride pools are amazing at low tide. Some good easy beach diving if you know where to go in at. The showers are pay for hot water.

We come here every year and love it! Great dog beach at the far end and an Albertsons and CVS close by. Unfortunately EVERY year Susan is so negative and unpleasant. She gave no solutions to our questions. The volunteers are way more helpful. And very happy. Thanks Craig you rock .

Nice campground which accommodates all shapes and sized rigs. If you don't go for the hookups and/or are self contained, the rates are not too bad. Shaped like a long parking lot, next to the beach with ample spots for car and rig. Hot showers for a minimum surplus, clean spots, dump station. Better call to see if there are vacancies, because the website is useless and reserve on line doesn't give the real low down on what's available.

Parking is a short distance from the beach. The walk is absolutely beautiful. The beach sand is one of the softest and the cleanliness of the beach is amazing considering how many people with family of even young kids on spring break that there were. Everyone seemed very respectful of each other's space and peace. Would recommend this to families, couples/friend or even singles who just want to spend some time with self!
