Manresa State Beach

Short walk from parking to camp sites. Clean bathrooms. Water spigot at many sites, Wi-Fi is pretty variable at different place around the campsites. Easy walk down to the beach, close to town if you need anything.

Stopped here on a one night stay on the way down to Big Sur.  Had campsite #1 which was decently sized and right in the middle of the camp.  The camp is a bit on the bluff and not directly on the beach, but you can get down there with a short walk.  There were a ton of families here so it was a bit loud, but not too bad.

Would stay here again

The drive in was a little confusing. We got most of our turns right the first time around and still spent a while circling trying to tell if we were where we were supposed to be. Site was nice- pretty close to neighbors, but plenty of bush between us to make the site feel somewhat private. Bathrooms were nice and clean. It would be awesome if there were someone working as a greeter/camp host all hours, but we figured out what was what eventually. It was a bit of a downhill walk to get to the beach, which was awesome. It was pretty foggy in the morning but that burned off and gave way to a nice warm(ish) day (in June). Wind picks up in the afternoon- bring layers!
