Best experience in California
Amazing site in a little town with all you need for a weekend getaway… just at the sea, nice food, great beach and surfing possibilities for the entire family. Best of all, the staff of the Camp is so friendly and helpfull. Thanks
beautiful
Really fun campground, right along the beach, and right across the street from plenty of places to eat and shop. Rangers are really nice and helpful, showers are clean, a little worn out but high pressure and REALLY hot. You buy tokens from the ranger.
Dump station isn’t free for campers,…

Great beach camping!
Fun beachside campground in Cardiff by the Sea, California. Not quiet or remote at all. Nice local market and lots of restaurants nearby. Great surf spot. I’ve dry camped here many times and have always enjoyed it. Dog friendly beach! *on leash
