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...

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.

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!

One of my favorite beaches in California. Great for all day in the sun and sand. Beautiful water, interesting tar pits. Fun to walk north to south during low tide and see all of the beautiful wildlife. Great for surfers too!

The Good: Beautiful location. Water and electric hookup. The bad: as attractive as a Walmart parking lot. Can’t find the RV dump site Addendum: we did find the dump site and we’re able to move to a beautiful site at the edge of the water. Sites vary a lot in cost and attractiveness

For tent camping and RV's it is very convenient. But like many campgrounds it all depends on your neighbors. It's great if you get good neighbors but can be unpleasant with obnoxious ones.

Year round weather is often great. Spring, summer and fall.. winter are more than brisk.

It's true it is the safest Beach. They've recently added a new wooden boardwalk I can't tell you how much I appreciate a good boardwalk being from Jersey 🤩 Seriously though it's very well constructed there's a campsite right off of Linden and you access this beach off of Linden again, Currently talking to reinforce his mask wearing and that's great I mean why not keep your germs to yourself, Restroom alert super clean lots of them open to the public restaurants and smart & final right on Linden gas stations too this area is a good stop over if you're doing big drives up the coast or down the coast. The beach is quiet extremely beautiful extremely clean ☀️☀️💪💪💪
