    As of 9/7/22 the Manchester campground is closed to camping for the season. The environmental sites have been permanently closed to camping.

    Day use remains open to the public.

    Manchester State Park features a beach, sand dunes, and flat grasslands, with nearly 18,000 feet of ocean frontage. The beach line curves gently to form a "catch basin" for sea debris, which accounts for the volume of driftwood found here. Five miles of gentle, sandy beach stretches southward towards the Point Arena Lighthouse.

    Here you will find beach-side camping in the sand, on grassy sites and along the creek.

    Turn your RV into your own beachfront home in one of these roomy Northern California campsites. Both RV and tent sites are also available in our "park area," which is sheltered from the wind by large willow and pine trees. We allow a limited number of tent sites on the beach where you can thrill to the sound of crashing waves all night.

    Our accommodations include 75 full hook-up RV sites, 50 tent sites, and 5 group sites. Westport Beach is a brilliant choice for family camping, family reunions, group get-togethers, retreats or romantic getaways. Its also a popular site for weddings, and there's plenty of space for your guests at the reception in the event tent.

    For an easy, no-fuss getaway you can reserve our bluff-top rental cabin. It has two bedrooms, a full kitchen and living room and provides a beautiful yard, great for kids.

    Our amenities include a camp-store, two restroom and shower buildings (hot showers!), a children's play area, horseshoe pit, volleyball play area, and laundromat.

    A place to stretch out, use as a base for wandering the coast or exploring the redwoods, or simply stay put and relax, close in, yet far away, with no further need to wander.

      Not Ready for the Public Camping But a Lot of Potential

      On the positive side, the people that work there are very hospitable and friendly.  We had reserved 2 days.  But for $70 per day for 2 people (they charge by the person per day) there are not enough amenities and the grounds are not well kept.  Check in is not until 4pm.  First, there is no place to put garbage.  You have to take it with you.  Bathrooms are just blue porta-potties.  There is a map of the property, but almost no signs on the property, so it's hard to know where you are in relation to the map.  The campsites are numbered on the map, but not at the physical campsites.  Although the property is in the mountains and there is a reservoir for swimming and boating, (a big plus), there are tools and equipment in various stages of disrepair at several places on the facility that are not screened from view of the camping areas.  The RV hookup areas are too primitive compared to typical campsites.  (again, the price is too much for what you get)  There are canoes and kayaks available for use at the reservoir, (a very nice amenity) but various boating equipment litter the shores and spoil the views.  I was told this facility caters mainly to group events, like weddings and there are nice glamping tents available.   But it looked like they just didn't pick up after the last party.  We left after one day.

      Clean and spacious

      Went up the coast in June knowing it would be hard to find a spot. Just as I thought our chances were running thin we stumbled across this place. Mostly open sites, all were fairly secluded. Big spaces, clean area and ocean sounds abound. Kids loved it to ride their bikes around and I stressed less knowing there were few, if any, cars passing by. Site 6 had lots of Cypress trees for the kids to climb, too. We will be back!

      Amazing

      We had an amazing 2 nights here. Never have we had full hookups with an ocean view. Also, experianceing wildlife, seal napping on the private beach, and fox napping one a far picnic table and a bear in the night.

      Cabin stay

      The basic cabin was just that, but spacious and the heaters worked very well. Nice, well kept campground with plenty of activities and access to a coastal trail. The community fire pit was a nice place to hang out at night.

      Quiet, fun, relaxing

      We rented a camping yurt and we were so surprised how big it is! We received a key to our own bathroom and shower! They had a sink to was dishes in and a place to clean our fish. We rented a motor boat for a few hours to explore the beautiful lake.  Pet friendly. Great little beach. A dock to fish from. Everything you need to have a great time! They also have bigger yurts and cabins to rent. Also, RV parking .We have already booked another visit.

      Too crowded

      They really packed too many tents into the area. Large groups dominate the areas. Loud and crowded. I will not be back. They need to have basically half the tents they have to make it pleasant.

      On the Lake

      This place is clean. We were greeted by the camp host with a smile! Very friendly! She answered all our questions and showed us around. We feel in love with this place! 💕 You can fish right from your camp spot if you get a spot right on the water. Clean bathrooms, club house with games and a kitchen. Fire pits and BBQ's. Green grass in the BBQ area with a beautiful gazebo that has grapes growing on it! Felt very nice and cool since it was very hot in Aug. I highly recommend this place! 😉😎

      Small and quiet campground but expensive.

      The campground is nice and quiet. Plenty of space without being noisy. But I’m not sure how they’ve justified charging $58 per night for no basic trash disposal (you have to take all trash with you) and only portable toilets on site.

      Incredible Views!

      The road is a little tight to get into this resort( 1 lane road with traffic going both ways with few pull offs) but the views are absolutely amazing! We stayed in the Lakeview spot and had the entire place to ourselves during the week. It's definitely more of a summer stay but we enjoyed it in the fall just as much. Staff was very attentive and friendly, resort is quiet and secluded from the main road. MUST BE SELF CONTAINED TO STAY IN THIS LOCATION!!

      Nice & Secluded

      This was nice for our family. This was our kids first camping trip and it was indeed a low stress environment. Bathrooms were not usable in my opinion but I have a bathroom tent with potty so it didn’t bother us. Upon arrival you are responsible for having cash to place in a envelope with your vehicle info and it’s to be left in a box at the entrance. If your burning a wood fire stop prior at the KOA to get it as well as your cash if needed. Don’t expect to camp on the beach as the pictures will fool you as it did us! You will need a vehicle or bikes to get you to the beach. We went August 30th prior to Labor Day and the weather was ok, no stars expect cooling temps in the AM.

      A paradise for kids

      We stayed in one of the premium hot tub sites, where you get your very own hot tub. Highly recommend, my kids absolutely loved it and so did I! We were just a few steps from the pool, which was clean, but pretty cold. It didn’t seem like it was heated. If it is, it’s not heated well. We also went to the playground several times, which is super fun. The splash pad was a family favorite. The petting zoo, was also super cute and the animals seemed like they were well taken care of. The mini golf course was a blast, as well as the RC track. There was a ton to do, and we all had a blast. The staff was super friendly.

      The pool is the best part!

      This campground is only an hour from home for us, and it will be a regular frost. The prices are a little bit high, but that is to be expected with a KOA. The pool was so clean and warm, we were told it was 85°, and I believe it. The sites are all decent sizes. With walkways between so that people hopefully don’t walk through your site. The restrooms and showers were impeccably clean. There are RV, tent, and cabin sites. We will definitely go again. Highly recommend.

      Cozy spot on the lake!

      This is the sweetest campground. The sites were on the smaller side, but came with a picnic table. And you’re blocked from the other campers by your RV. It’s a short walk from anywhere in the campground down to the lake. The water is crystal clear and there’s a little dock for jumping off of. They bring in sand for the beach which makes it a really nice experience. And apparently the canopies that were there are new. There’s an on-site snack bar and coffee bar with limited hours, which is a really nice touch. The owners were super friendly and accommodating. The road to get into the campground is very sketchy. It is extremely narrow and there is no where to pass along it. So make sure you abide by the check in check out times, which are significantly far apart, to ensure that nobody meets each other on the road. Sidenote, there are no campfires, except for propane fire, which was kind of a bummer. Highly recommend.

      Excellent stay

      Great spot for my first solo trip in my 23’ motorhome. Cell service only on the beach and no working Wi-Fi which worked for me cuz I needed a break. Campground was clean. Staff was friendly. Bathrooms clean. Campgrounds were only at 50% capacity so it was super quiet. Beach was vast and a stone’s throw from my campsite

      Hidden gem

      This is a rustic but charming campground in a beautiful location. I visited on a weeknight in June and almost all of the campsites were vacant. The grounds were impeccably clean and freshly mown, and the camp host, Bob, was very friendly and helpful.

      All bathrooms are vault toilets, and there are no sinks available. Water spigots are located throughout the campground, though, and the bathrooms were clean and almost odorless.

      Incidentally, the larger bathrooms also have unbelievable acoustics. A better venue for singing the Halo theme would be difficult to find.

      Former KOA; Rebranded & lacking

      The Mendocino redwoods RV resort just outside of Willits on CA-20 to Fort Bragg, California, was 3 years ago a KOA resort. The overall facility is still in fairly good shape but you can see the results of the pandemic and a little bit lack of effort on maintaining various things with inside the facility. Not to get me wrong, it's still a very nice resort but the new affiliation that they've decided to go with needs to step it up a little bit otherwise it will go into disrepair and short order. After traveling recently to a very high-end KOA resort, I can assess and compare between the two locations very quickly. I think it is a very wonderful location with a lot of wonderful things to do and activities within an hour's drive of it, I just wish they would do a little bit more to start bring it up to the level that it once was.

      Hidden Gem

      The waves are loud, the cell service sucks and the Wi-Fi is very spotty…which makes it a perfect spot to get away! If you get a premium spot, you are almost right on the beach, which is pretty private since there’s no public access. This beats the crowded State Park system any day!
