Great spot off the Pacific Coast Highway. The sites are very private, there’s a vault toilet, and good cell service. It’s $24 a night, first come first serve in early-mid March, and only half the campground is open at that time.

I had only planned to stay here for one day, but along the next hour and a half of my route this was the only campground that wasn’t still closed for the winter (even though they were labelled as open online.) I ended up turning around and driving back. The campground host was very nice and made me feel safe and comfortable when I arrived after dark feeling frustrated and exhausted.

The area is great. Florence is a nice town with anything you might need. It’s also right on the ocean with easy access to the beach and sand dunes.
