Woodside Campground — Salt Point State Park
Reviewed Jul. 15, 2015

Great Car Camping 90 miles North of San Francisco

This campground is in Salt Point State Park north of Bodega Bay and Jenner on the California Coast. It offers 30 individual sites of various sizes, and I believe there is a group camping area as well. It has quite a few spouts with potable water and all the sites are close to bathrooms, which are clean and have flush toilets, though no mirrors and no towels for hand drying. It is full throughout the summer weekends, and while the sites can be reserved, they are chosen on a first come first served basis, so getting there early is recommended, especially if you need to accommodate a big tent or several tents (some sites have very small areas for tents, but others have huge space). Sites are nestled between sparsely spaced trees, and some have a view of the ocean, which is not far away. A road, along with a couple of trails, lead down to a bluff overlooking the ocean. From there, there is a beautiful 1 mile long hike along the rocky cliffs with sandstone formations to Stump Beach, a great beach for families, with a protected lagoon that's great for kids.
