The campsite is quite pleasant, although not the absolute best. There are only around 5 spacious spots available for tents, while the rest are smaller and closely situated to one another. On the other hand, the RV area is lovely. The bathrooms are satisfactory. As for the beach, it was delightful to experience the shallow waters and the enjoyable waves. We had a blast using our bodyboards! It was truly a ton of fun.

This beach is the ideal spot for watching the sunset. The small hill overlooking the ocean feels like a magical realm. It's an experience that you'll never forget!

This beach is the perfect destination for escaping those scorching hot days. Make sure to secure a reservation, gather your equipment, bring along your family and friends, and make your way there. However, be warned that once you arrive, you won't feel like leaving.

This beach offers one of the best oceanfront campsites. Although the campground is on the smaller side, the parking spaces are quite spacious for those without hookups. However, it is worth noting that there are no shower facilities, but the toilets are decent.

The beach is incredibly vast and offers stunning views of Morro Rock. We had the opportunity to witness a breathtaking sunset during our visit. It's important to note that the beach is home to numerous snowy plover nests in the dunes, so it's advisable to stick to the designated trails and avoid flying drones in this area. Additionally, there are several parking lots available free of charge, providing ample options for visitors.
