Caspar Beach RV Park & Campground

The sound of waves across the street mixes with creek water flowing through the back tent camping area at this Mendocino Coast campground. Caspar Beach RV Park spreads across multiple sections, with tight RV sites near the entrance and more spacious tent areas tucked back among redwoods and other trees. The campground sits directly across from a protected beach inlet where surf conditions stay manageable for families.

RV sites pack closely together in the front section, creating what one camper describes as a "sense of community and friendliness" but requiring careful maneuvering for larger rigs. The tent camping area offers more breathing room, with sites like number 13 positioned next to the babbling creek and separated by natural vegetation. Several reviewers mention the contrast between cramped RV parking and the more secluded tent sites back in the trees.

The campground provides full hookups for RVs, coin-operated showers, and a well-stocked camp store. A gazebo serves as a fish cleaning station for anglers, and the facility includes laundry services and propane sales. Weekend entertainment sometimes features live bands on the grass area. Wildlife encounters are common—raccoons and skunks regularly visit campsites, so secure food storage becomes essential.

Summer brings crowds and higher activity levels, while winter offers quieter conditions with occasional rain and wind. The location works well as a base for exploring places to camp around Caspar or accessing nearby Russian Gulch State Park. Staff maintain security protocols and provide information about local ecological activities and events.

Book ahead during peak season, as this beachfront location fills quickly despite the premium pricing in the $47-72 range.

Guests frequently mentioned the excellent beach location and spacious tent camping areas in the back. However, numerous guests pointed out cramped RV sites and facility maintenance issues including problematic coin-operated showers.

Good Place For RVs & Group Camping

Easy access and great store, with access to fire rings, tables, showers, potable water, dump station and trash receptacles. The tent sites are beautiful, but a bit too close to each other when there are dogs involved.

Holiday was packed.

We were here for 3 nights and enjoyed the summer concert series on the grass and the close location to a private beach across from the Rv park. 

The spaces for Rv’s are tight, but we made it work. Tent camping is much more spacious. 

The weather was humid and cool. It felt wonderful for July!!

Quick tip!

The store closes at 5pm for check-ins, buying firewood, getting change for the coin-op showers. Also, hookups are kinda shared between RV sites, so make sure you have your converter plug for 30/50 amp.

Great spot along the way

Conveniently located between Ft. Bragg 6 miles to the north and Mendocino 3 miles south. Points of interest include Caspar Beach right here in the cove, Pt. Cabrillo Lighthouse ~ 1 1/2 mi. south, Botanical Gardens in Ft. Bragg, Russian Gulch SP, the town of Mendocino which is the main draw for many.

An awesome site for a campground

Caspar Beach RV Park was a beautiful place to stay. I truly enjoyed my time there. A forest of trees right across the street from the crashing surf. Lovely! It has a wonderful tent camping area back away from RV's in the Redwoods and many other trees. RV parking was neck to neck but I enjoyed the sense of community and friendliness.

The thing that keeps me from giving this a 5 star rating is the fact that they charge for showers. There was no mention of this in any literature I read so it was a surprise when I went for a shower and saw the coin box. For $5 you should get a good shower but you won't here. When my quarters ran out and I put more in, all I got was cold water. Also, beware as the sizing on their hoodies is incorrect!

Tent camping is nice but RV is right on top of each other

My family decided on this spot for our anual camping trip. There were 6 adults one late teen and two children. We tent camp. Our spot was nice and clean and next to the creek. Large enough for our three cars three tents and extra table and plenty of room to set up chairs around the fire for us. The beach across the street is on an inlet so the surf wasn't bad. Porta potties we're every few spots and the bathrooms with flush toilets and showers were just a short walk. The staff and camp store were great. They even had a band on Saturday for entertainment. The only negative and this is not their fault we're our night visitors. Beware the skunks are plentiful and used to human interaction as with the raccoons. Keep your food secure and don't get yourself sprayed and you'll be fine

nice back loop for tent/car camping

It’s pricey, but the location can’t be beat. The front half is narrow RV slots, but further back, it’s lush, shaded and pretty quiet for tent or car camping. My spot (13) had a babbling stream next to it, and empty spots on all sides. If it was busier, you wouldn’t have much privacy.

Great Light House

This is a tight and wet park. It is inside a gully that gets very little sun. I stayed the end of December through New Years. There is a beach in front. Shopping in Ft. Bragg is 15 minutes away. Not a bad place to hang out. But damp.

Very narrow spaces, but next to the beach

Great location close to the beach, close to Mendocino and Fort Bragg. The problem is that the spaces are very narrow, especially if you have slide outs which means that your neighbor's sewer hose is next to your door. A lot of very short spaces also which makes it worse. Poorly maintained hookups. Not too clean either.

bad experience

this has already been written but the map and location are not correct.  This campground is very bad.  The campground is overrun by a redneck RV community.  The bathrooms and showers are gross.  No one adheres to COVID social distancing or mask regulations.  Most of the campsites are very small, next to a gross stream of water that is stagnant water.   Wifi doesn't work.  the beach is quite cool and close to Fort Bragg and Mendocino so the location is great.  The people suck and i'll never return to a campsite owned by this group.  Furthermore, i probably wont go to privately owned sites at all.  we have camped at a few dozen state and regional campsite which were all better experiences.

SO MANY BONUS ACTIVITIES!!

BEACH CAMPING!! It is awesome! Bring ear plugs because it is a popular campground. 

The store has everything you might need while out camping and it is literally across the street from a beautiful beach! 

This is a LARGE campground and can accommodate all types of campers. There are even tiny houses and cabins for those less willing to lose the comforts of home. 

The RV sites are right on top of each other in the entrance but they open up in the back field(we weren’t able to get back in there since we were just tent campers). 

They are high on security here. I LOVED the list of activities that were happening around the area. It really helped you get involved with the local ecology. 

There is a big gazebo for fish cleaning. Laundry room and propane for sale.

Beach camping, friendly staff, awesome secluded tent sites.

I was lucky enough to spend four nights here last winter. It was breezy and rained on and off. The walk in sites are secluded and this park has all the amenities including free showers. Dog friendly. I hear it gets very busy in the summertime. There are a few year round residents, and it’s fun to stroll through the RV section of the park, but also fun to go back into the trees and get away from it all.

Great Beach!

This was a nice campground very close to the beach. Great place to take kids. The RV spaces were very tight and close together. We were concerned about getting our 36 foot motor home out but with some maneuvering and backing up, my husband was able to get us out. We explored the tent camping area and it is beautiful, secluded, and spacious. The staff are very friendly, helpful, and the store is well stocked with good prices.
