The Best Camping Near Avilla Beach, California

We are staying no hook up sites not used to live with the generator on but really good experience 

Fishing on the party boat 

Expensive, cramped, petty rules but what a view.

We have stayed there 3 times. All pretty good experience. It is still under construction and you sign a form saying you are aware of it. The sites are sand so if it ever rains makes it a bit messy. The place isn't cheap and it isn't easy to get reservations. You will need months of advanced notice. All are back in. When they designed it, they didn't really make enough room to maneuver. I watched a Class A next to plow up a bank with his front end. Some scratches resulted and some plowed earth. I am always counting on no additional people parked in front of our site so I can maneuver easier. No 10 point turns. :-) Easy access to the beach and the pier. A great place to be. During certain times a year they want a 5 night minimum, so be aware.

Great views but with a price

What a beautiful campground.  This campground actually got our journey started and now we are camping and enjoying all that is out there! 

Wish they were all like this

If you’re okay with being about 5 feet away from neighboring campsites, this is a beautiful stay. Clean Bathrooms/Showers, beautiful views, and a short walk away from the beach. Although- it’s unfortunate you cannot request specific campsites. 

Cramped sites, Beautiful Location 

I’m so glad I came across this on the maps. It was a bit of a splurge ($105/night), but when I pulled in and saw that view - it was totally worth it.  I even added an extra night at the end of my week, bc I just didn’t want to leave.  Sites are spaced decently, but still 10-ish feet apart.  Propane fire pits at each site. Clean bathrooms and lovely, huge private shower rooms.  Laundry onsite is cashless - Apple Pay. The views, I can not say enough.  Sunrise in the morning is epic and watching to cotton candy sky show every night while listening to the seals bark from the ocean.  I loved every second of it.  Such a treat.  

Stellar Stay - Top Choice!

This is our second time at this location, first in dry camping, second time in the Jupe tents. As much as I was begging for this stay to be worth the $470 for two nights, it definitely wasn’t. The concept is great but really faulty when executed. 1) they disclose when booking that power to the tents may or may not work. The truth? The solar panels don’t charge whatsoever if there is fog/cloud cover in the mornings. Was told this directly by management. Soooo…. Considering this is a bay site, right on the ocean…. We didn’t have power once. Morning fog happens every single day. (Even though it was completely sunny from 12pm-5pm) this was frustrating, and we would’ve packed accordingly given knowledge that we would’ve been powerless all weekend. The blankets they provide don’t keep you warm either, so if you stay on a night below 50 without an electrical blanket or backups, prepare to freeze. During our stay we were also told that there was only one overnight maintenance man, on a Friday, during Labor Day weekend. That poor man didn’t get a break once all evening and definitely deserves a raise and to be treated better by his employers. He’s the only reason this review deserves a star. For such a beautiful location, this company is really fumbling. Disappointing.
