Right on the beach. Porta-potties were clean. Water spigots available. Wind can be stong in the afternoons. Park Rangers were great. No LifeGaurds,if swimming, buddy system or have someone watch you.

Sleeping at the beach is a must for all campers. The waves at night can be calming and terrifying at the same time.

First let’s start with how rude the young men are whom work at the kiosk. This alone will make us never be back. Upon arrival the staff was very unprofessional. The questions we had were met with short, rude answers. The two young men acted as if we were a bothering them. The porta potties are disgustingly dirty. Trash all over the beach and the oil sludge/tar was impossible to get off of our feet 👣. Rocks everywhere on the beach was is fine but be careful because while swimming close to shore one pelted me in the leg and it hurt! I had a nice bruise for a week. The tide gets so high in the evening you need to be very cautious as to where you pop your tent. Be careful of staying next to the trash bins because they overflow and STINK 🤢. All in all after years of camping we will not be back here. Years ago this was one of the best. The park rangers sure have let this one go downhill and it’s a shame.obviously not all is their fault but the bad attitude and the unclean nature of the campsite needs to be addressed.

Average amenities. Good view. Able to sleep under the stars as there are no sand/beach bugs.

Very simple setup. You can set up a tent on the beach, it's a beautiful location.

We love this beach for Dry camping in our RV Trailer. This campground is a side road along the beach. You are assigned a parking spot. Your RV is parked along the sand. Right side of RV opens to the sand. Your space is probably 50 foot long. The sand is marked all the way to the beach on both sides with hand sized rocks. Its all yours! Water is approximately 50 yards from the RV spot. Ive seen reviews that mention the rocky beach down at the surf. It depends on the time of year and where your site is. My wife and I went two times in one year. Once in the spring, once in the fall. Our spot was just south of the entrance. First visit, no rocks at surf area, just sand down to the water. Next trip, rocks all the way into the water. The seasonal tide shifts and causes the sand to go away and return. Heads up, rocks are more abondant the farther south you go, less as you go north. Call and ask about rocks when you register. It is a beautiful place with all types of wild life, pelicans, etc. Remember it is dry camping. No dump station. No power. A water spiget is available. Because it is beach side and you are parked along the highway you can run your generator whenever you need it.

We went here for a birthday camping trip as my SO and I share the a birthday with 1 day apart! Scheduling online was a little finicky but worked out in the end and that what matters honestly haha. We got I believe camping spot 17 and what an amazing spot and view. Even just getting into the camp grounds the mood and atmosphere was so welcoming and nice (the ranger who let us in was so kind to us!). We definitely recommend to bring your own firewood as the ones that they sell are 8 dollars a pack (so if you know a guy def use that person instead) and bring a bigger tent if you're going to camp in a tent as the condensation goes wild during the night and makes the inner walls of the tent SOAKING wet so to not have your blankets and sleeping bags drenched you need more space in the center of the tent. Each site allows up to 3 cars and as long as your inside of your section I think up to 8-10 people (or as many as can fit honestly can't really tell?). A big warning for those who want to get into camping and want to do beach camping as an introductory camping experience BRING MORE LAYERS in terms of clothes, blankets, sleeping gear. If you get too hot you can always take off a layer but if you're freezing you if you don't have that layer you're going to be MISERABLE. Typically I usually bring my own toliet paper for restroom things but the port-a-pottys seem to have some decent TP and was pretty clean (but as clean as a outdoor port-a-potty would be.

Our favorite place to camp on the beach!! For the experience of sleeping on the sand it is completely worth the $35!! The sunsets are amazing. We’ve loved camping here for many years. Book in advance as it gets booked fast!! We got lucky and found a cancellation last minute. Check in is easy and the spaces are large!! There is easily enough room for 4 or 5 big tents and 3 vehicles. Each spot has a fire pit and a picnic table. There are porta-pottys(this was the only negative for us as they were gross and messy) No showers. Water spigots are along the road. The camp host has firewood for sale most of the time. Closest store is about 20 minutes away. We will keep staying here!

View of the ground is beautiful by the side of ocean and mountains camp is in between. At night you can see lots of stars ,moon and you can hear waves sound.Only Portable restrooms but no shower room. And if you forget to take wood there one lady will be selling it I think around 8$ or so.

I LOVED this campground. It was right on the beach which was a dream. The beach was clean, and we went just a week ago so it was not packed so that was very nice. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. There are only port a potties so no showers or hook ups, but well worth it. Definitely hope to be back.

First time camping here. Definitely an experience. Loved sleeping to the sound of the waves. Nice fire pit for bonfire.
