Seacliff State Beach

Called ahead. No answer. Arrived late. Pulled in to a spot. A few minutes later a police type SUV rushed up to me, lights flashing and bright headlights in my eyes. A very nervous acting, hostile officer shouted "put both hands on the wheel". She asked if I had a res and I tried to explain there was no answer when I called, and that I was hoping to camp on the open site and pay in the morning. She said my vehicle was not an RV and if i didn't leave immediately she was going to cite me. I tried to explain how my Subaru Outback was indeed rigged up as rv (built in bed, self contained toilet, refrigerator andfood prep area and more). She was so uptight and adamant that I leave I doubt she heard a word. Scary encounter. All I wanted was a safe spot to camp for the evening. Rude, hostile encounter that was absolutely unnecessary.

I love Seacliff! My familiy and I have been coming here for years. Unfortunately it can be very difficult, if not impossible, to get a reservation at a site with a hookup.

This is a very nice place, well maintained, run by the State.

It’s on the beach... beautiful beach, amazing sunsets, whales, fall asleep to the ocean waves and more.

But well worth the effort. Full hookups in one area and dry camping in overflow area. All camping spots are adjacent to the 'boardwalk' beach path and the beach. Yes, your rig is within 20' of the beach at all campsites. Lots of dog walking, caution-fines are very hefty for being off leash. Camphosts are always present/available/helpful.

Pavement spots, right on the beach.
