October 2025. I stayed for one night at a campground in this state park. The staff at the checkin booth were awesome! What I didnt know is that many of the sites were in cold wet and dank spots. Not really for me. But the folks in the booth helped me get into a sunny site. Its pretty noisy here during the day but it quieted down at night. The bathrooms were nasty. Including the showers. Not sure if the host was supposed to, but noone has cleaned them. The water taste awful. Like toxic salt taste. Eeewwww! The beach is VERY close by. Could be walked to. And thats probably your best bet. I drove there and scumbags get into my car. No cameras there. Or security watching out for we honest folks. I walked the boardwalk and stairs to the ocean and slimy people took advantage. Too bad really. The ocean area itself is gorgeous. And theres seals all around. But its definately NOT a safe place!

MacKerricher State Park is absolutely amazing. The views are straight out of a California postcard — waves crashing, cliffs, and that clean ocean air. Super easy to walk, and the paths are nice and smooth, even wheelchair friendly. It’s free for day use, which is wild considering how nice it is. If you’re in Fort Bragg or cruising up Highway 1, definitely stop here and stretch your legs. It’s peaceful, beautiful, and honestly one of the best state parks I’ve ever been to.

Camp sites amazing. Bathrooms nice, sites large and shielded from the wind. Water is minerally so plan accordingly if you don’t like that. Beach and lake super nice! Small pebble beach, seals, birds. Close to town too so if you forget anything you are only a few minutes away.

This is a great park to visit. Day use is free of charge. There are also plenty of campsites. They have built a wonderful boardwalk that you can walk that takes you out to the tide pools and the headlands. There is also a beautiful beach and picnic tables available and clean bathrooms. A wonderful place to spend a few hours or all day.

Beautiful, clean park and beach. It has the black, coarse sand but pleasant to be on. Walked the wood plank trails. You can take them down to different areas of beach, rocks or tide pool. It has public restrooms which were clean also. Near the restroom were grassy areas with picnic tables.
