Great location. If you can handle dry camping, you can get directly waterfront. Otherwise with hookups you'll be on the parking lot up against the cliff with all the other sardines. Dump station is available but expensive. There is no free water if you need to fill up your storage tanks. It costs $0.50 for 5 minutes of flow, which is not bad, but still annoying that it's not free after paying such high prices for a dry camping spot. There are pay showers available as well; not too bad, but no temperature adjustment. I did not use their showers, so I don't know how warm the water is, but in my experience these showers where you cannot adjust the temperature are barely lukewarm. I guess for liability reasons they don't make them very hot, which can make for a miserable shower experience. The nearby FatCats Cafe restaurant is great. Breakfast lunch and dinner available. Be advised the entrance to the Diablo Canyon power plant is right here at the campground, and they start early shifts, so you will hear quite a bit of traffic between 4:30 and 6:00 a.m. If one of the units is shut down for a refueling outage, the traffic increases by probably a factor of 3.

The view from Nobi Point, #4. Worth the premium price for dry camping.

We camp here all the time and it is one of our favorite places. Love that I can kayak right across from the motorhome.

We camped here in our fifth wheel a few weeks ago. It was a Sunday and really crowded. We were half an hour early before check in so we needed to just wait. We saw a sign that said RV parking only. No vehicles. Perfect! A place we could hang out and wait. I jumped out to get food. Soon after my husband called and said he had to move the RV. I walked over from the cafe to see if our spot was open and it was, so I texted him to drive over to our spot. As I was helping my husband back in the RV, a woman walked up to me and pointed her finger at me and sternly said, “YOUR HUSBAND PARKED IN SOMEONE ELSE’S SPOT!” Confused, I replied, “what”? She repeated the same thing, pointing at him and then pointing back at me for some reason. I said, “who are you?” She said she was the camp host. I was so confused because I had no idea what she was talking about. I explained there was a sign that said RV parking, and we were just waiting 30 min. for check in. (See picture) It doesn’t say campsites. She didn’t care and said, “At least you actually do have a reservation because most people lie about that too!! So obviously you have never stayed with us , so let’s go over the rules!!” She didn’t introduce herself when she walked up to me, just pointed her finger and yelled, was never friendly, and talked down to us the whole time. I’m pretty sure her name was Beverly. Then, the next morning at 5 am traffic began, since the RV spots are actually on the road, you hear everyone driving to work. We will never camp there again.

Never realized how much traffic is on the road here, at all hours. Just happy to be next to the beach and the fact that it's not the weekend.

Awesome camp ground clean bathrooms but you can't have a wood fire bring a propane fire pit for night.
