Expensive But It’s On The Beach

I stayed here for one night. Bathrooms were clean. They seem to have a coffee and pizza shack too but they were not open when I arrived. I didn’t use the showers but they have a shower room in addition to bathrooms. It was a quiet night.

The only negative was the people parked next to me had moved their picnic table into my spot so it made it difficult to back in and use my spot.

Back again!

Just love this spot, I loved being in spot 25 better than this spot but not enough to move. I am in spot 18 this time right by the stairs, while it’s fun watching the surfers and dogs it’s less private, only spot left tho same day on a Saturday night. I was just stoked it was beachside, what’s the point if you’re not next to the waves

The sound of the waves makes this location the best

I spend a lot of time at coastal campgrounds, this one is gorgeous. Obviously I sugar gettin a spot on the water side, being able to hear the waves all night for me is such amazing therepy. The highway is close but you can’t hear it & there’s a little food joint here which for how small of a campground it is I love. bathrooms at campgrounds in Ventura in general have always been cleAn, and this one was too! FYI: Train tracks close by, not a bother with wave sounds but just know it’s there. I found it gorgeous at night as it goes by next to the lights of campers by the coast. Will be back!

Great view, small, small RV park

You can't beat the view of the ocean and so close you can hear the ocean at night. That was great. But the park is very small. They say max 35'. We had a heck of a time with our 34 5th Wheel. Almost got stuck. Thanks to some guys and guiding me when trying to come back around inside the park so I didn't have to go back out on PCH and come back in again. The spaces are very tight. Don't get a space my the dumpsters. No smell, but the banging was a pain at night time. They have some stairs down to the beach which is great but depending on the time of year you go the tide comes in so far that it's at the bottom step so you can't go out.
