Of all our travels, this campground blew us away and is an absolute must if you’re in the area. We stayed at site 9 in December and were blessed with sun and gentle 40-50 degree weather despite a rainstorm that hit us that night. We were taken with the black sand and pathways directly off our site to the water. Beach is flat and one could walk endlessly on the shoreside. Shells and stones of every kind, it’s a treasure trove of sites for beach lovers. The grass looks golden when kissed by the morning sun and we awoke to a herd of elk making their way directly through the length of the grounds. The drive in is pretty steep and trailers are not allowed, but if you can make this spot happen, you won’t regret it. Redwood and fern forests meet the coast. An absolute treasure.

Oh! And coin operated showers and flushing toilets :)
