It’ll work..

The campsites specifically are nice, but the campground was very disappointing. Lots of freeway noise, amenities were disappointing (fitness center was only open until 9-5?), dog park was closed, beach requires a brutal walk through soft sand. It’ll work as a landing point for a couple nights, but don’t plan on this being a nice campground to enjoy your vacation at.

Great location, high price!

Nice rv park by the beach. Bathrooms and showers are great. Downside is the store is closed on Sundays. Also, $190 a night plus $20 to choose your spot is wild. The location of the electrical/water is awkward.

Marina Dunes RV Park

It is $160 to stay there. I have a camper van and I didn’t need all the hook up. There is a Best Western right next to this place were we ended up getting a room instead as that was less expensive. We did arrive there with no reservation and after hours. There was a worker ready to give us a spot near the bathroom if we wanted it so that was nice to be able to arrive unannounced. He was the one who suggested to stay in a hotel. So we did. The beach was like a 5 minute walk. That was nice. Has laundry place. Dogs allowed on the beach near by.

Secret beach

Nice and clean campground. Room for any size rig. The store closed at noon on Saturday and wasn’t open Sunday, so don’t forget anything. Although you are not far from stores (Walmart etc). But the real reason to camp here is the beach. About a 5 min trek through sand and dunes and you’ll find yourself at a beach not many people frequent. On Friday we were the only ones for as far as I could see. No exaggeration. Saturday there were maybe 30 people. I could be wrong, but I think this area used to be fort ord which closed in the late 90’s. That might be a factor in why not many people from the Bay Area have never heard of marina dunes 🤷🏻

More HWY 101 than beach

Nice clean park, with a lot of ways to stay, but it's a good half mile to the water. Staff was fantastic, the RV slots were level and with full hookups, it was just a little too far from ocean activities and too close to HWY 101.

Small spots

This place is okay it's just small and loud. It's hard to get bigger Rv's into spots also. We have a 35' 5th wheel and there are only some spots that will fit it. It looks like motorhomes fit in a lot of these spots okay. Maybe it was easier to get in for them? If you like to walk There is a path that will take you to the ocean. It's about a quarter of a mile walk in sand. There is no sidewalk. It is also very loud her with the freeway right behind you. It didn't bother us in the day. At night I had a sound machine so it didn't bother us. Our neighbors ended up leaving after a day because of the noise.
