We come here often, whenever we are in the Ventura area. I used to be crabby about the high cost for just a parking spot along the freeway, but I've grown to love it. You're right on the beach, the weather is always perfect here and the ocean sounds drown out your neighbor's generator.

No amenities other than trash dumpsters and the occasional recycle bin. Self contained RVs only, no tents.

Cost is $47 during peak season, plus a $10 reservation fee and $2.50 per day per dog. Sigh - it adds up but it's kind of worth it. No check in required when you arrive, just pull into your reserved spot. No host on site, but rangers do come by often.

You have to scramble down rocks to get to the beach, or you can walk to Faria campground and access the beach via their stairs.
