Good location - no space

The location is nice and th spark is easily accessible from the highway. Waterfront sites. However you do not get much privacy and we felt that there were too many RV in such a small space.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do reviews say about Hobson Beach Park camping?

Hobson Beach Park offers a spectacular oceanfront camping experience with sites overlooking boulder-type rocks and crashing waves. Campers particularly enjoy the ocean views and the soothing sound of waves throughout the night. Site #25 is frequently mentioned as a favorite spot. While the scenery is beautiful, be aware that sites close to the water are positioned quite close together, offering limited privacy. The campground is conveniently located near Faria and Rincon, making it popular with surfers. Some visitors note that the ground shakes as waves crash into the sea wall, adding to the immersive coastal experience.

How much does it cost to camp at Hobson Beach Park?

Hobson Beach Park offers dry camping with oceanfront views. While specific pricing information isn't detailed, the campground provides quarter-operated hot showers as part of its facilities. For current and exact camping fees, it's recommended to contact the park management directly or check their official website before planning your trip. Fees may vary based on season, site location, and whether you're choosing a standard or premium oceanfront site.

Where can I find a map of Hobson Beach Park campground?

To find a map of Hobson Beach Park campground, check the official Ventura County Parks website, which should have campground layouts and site information. The California State Parks website may also provide maps or directions. For the most detailed and up-to-date map, contact the park office directly. Based on visitor experiences, knowing that Site #14 offers a view of boulder-type rocks with wind-blocking bushes and Site #25 is highly recommended could help with site selection while you plan your stay.

Is Hobson Beach Park suitable for RV camping?

Hobson Beach Park does accommodate RVs, though space is somewhat limited. The campground has been described as having too many RVs in a relatively small area, which can make the environment feel crowded. Sites are set on pebble rocks, with some being leveled for easier setup. This is dry camping (no hookups), so come prepared with fully charged batteries and filled water tanks. If you're looking for an oceanfront RV experience with the sound of crashing waves, Hobson Beach Park delivers, but don't expect much privacy between sites.
