How do you get there?? 🤔

Not sure how the other reviewers found it, but I came to locked gate saying “no trespassing” (using Dyrt’s directions).

Nice long sites with privacy

We stayed here the beginning of December. It was just the one night but the fire ring was nice and you could see stars. The people beside us were loud, but everything quieted down around 11. Nice gravel trail to the ocean was awesome in the morning. It took about 10mins to get to trestles parking. The sunrise and view was nice. The park was clean and the rangers weren’t very motivated to help but we’re polite.
