"There are many sites next to the ocean."
"PROS
→ Campground is adjacent to the beach. You can hear the ocean and sometimes catch peeks of the ocean from the campground.
→ Campsites have bear lockers."
"The beach is about a mile hike, you can ride your bike though on the road outside the KOA or drive and the beach is closer. Point Arena lighthouse is a close drive away."
"We loved the quiet, laidback campground, with lovely old pines giving a sense of being in the forest -- even while being walking distance from the water."
$35 - $45 / night

"Surrounded by thick redwoods, trails run off every campsite."
$45 - $70 / night

"The camp is right next to the road, but traffic was minimal. There is some hiking in the area, but no trails from the campground, you will need to drive to a trailhead."
"Nice campsite with around 27 ish spots. First come first serve at $35 as of 2025. I went tent camping but you can probably bring in a small RV."
ScoutNice campsite with around 27 ish spots. First come first serve at $35 as of 2025. I went tent camping but you can probably bring in a small RV.
It’s only a 20 ish minute drive to the coast, which can be nice since the trees give you a blockage of the rough winds from the coast.
There’s a river nearby and a small trail (less than a mile?). There was a loud group at like 1am, but majority of time people are quite after 11
Traveler4 of the sites are on the bulkhead of the beach ($98 after tax), have water but no power. The rest are close enough. Clean bathrooms. Fish cleaning station. Coin operated showers. Friendly staff.
ScoutLovely location for campaign in wine country. Marked places to park, surrounded by hills and trees . Host is very gracious and comes out to meet you. They even let us plug our van in overnight.
ScoutMy wife’s family has been going here for over 30 years. It’s a family RV & cabin campground with a lot of great amenities. The new owners (5 years now) are very friendly and helpful making the whole experience a stellar visit.
GuideBig sites. Lots of space. No hookups. Clean restroom’s with flush toilet’s. Hiking trails. Stores and restaurants a few miles down the road. No cellular but wifi at the ranger station.
ScoutGreat view, simple check in
TravelerI believe this is not campsite anymore. The coordinates took us to someone’s private driveway. We tried to get to the pinpoint from another way and ran into another closed gate. No idea..
ScoutNice facilities normal bathroom and shower nice hot water. Camp host was very polite and supplied fired wood for 12 a bundle. Nice walk threw redwoods to beach
GuideThis is a first come first served campground. We got there at around 2pm and there were only 2 other campers. By the end of the night most of the spots had filled up. The beach was very quiet with few other visitors. This campground/state park is right at the mouth of the Navarro river so you can walk the river bank and then the beach! Porta-potties were recently serviced, picnic table, fire ring. Sites are close together- resembling a parking lot. This is my favorite beach so far and worth the price of $35/night.
