Place is coo but, it seems like every time I camp here the people around us want complete quiet at 9pm, we had our neighbors complaining that we were talking, not loud, no music , bay area quiet time types. Other than that its great. Just be quiet and go to bed at 8pm quietly

One of the most natural beach in the Monterey Bay Area, definitely the most natural in Santa Cruz county. Beautiful dunes with tall grasses and native plants. Quiet on weekdays but more popular on weekends.

Cute spot for camping near the beach, about 25 mins from Carmel. Great facilities. Would absolutely come back. Note that campsites are not on the beach. We were in #51 which felt a bit crowded (no privacy) but it wasn’t too bad!

This is an amazingly awesome campsite. The rangers and park workers were also amazingly awesome! The surroundings, bathrooms, and whole campsite was very clean and well kept. I would highly recommend this family-friendly beautiful area.

Very nice campground. Facilities are old, but maintained clean. There was a racoon party at night nearby site 28. Be careful if you have small dogs or kids. They don't usually attack adults if you approach to them first. Nature such as trees, soil, animals, the sound of wave, and the song of birds in the morning is so great. You can see dolphines from the sunset beach if you are lucky.
