Quiet and spacious, relaxing views of trees and sound of waves crashing
We decided on this park based on the reviews and pictures. It was out first attempt at boondocking, and we noticed water and dump was available on the premises, so we figured we were set. Unfortunately, when we arrived all of the water faucets were placarded with E. Coli warnings! I only brought up about 1/3 of a tank of water along with 6 gallons of drinking water. Given this, we immediately went into conservation mode! We ended up picking up 4gal of drinking water and pouring it into the fresh water tank for dishes and flushes.
We chose Site #7, which was one of the few "shared" pads. Even so, it was a left site so our door faced out towards trees. You can definitely hear the waves crashing from the site, which was awesome. Just loud enough to hear, but not overwhelming. Highway 1 is about 200m from the campground, so you will hear the occasional car drive by. Walking around I'd say Site #10 is the best...very isolated and a great view of trees all around.
I can confirm there is no cell service nor wifi at the campground. We had to drive about a mile north to pick up a signal. There are a couple restaurants close that do have wifi.
I recommend taking the canyon loop trail, and also take the short trail down to the actual Stillwater cove. The trailhead is in the day use area. I'd also recommend visiting Fort Ross and Shell Beach, which has great tidepooling at low tide (the camp host posts the tides at the campsite).
We saw the camp host was on site, but we didn't actually see them at all. We just placed our receipt on the dash in case they came by when we were out.
