Simple, quiet

Very simple campground. More spaced out than a lot of campgrounds along the coast, but still not a great place if you want any privacy (tough to find on the coast anywhere).  Was full on a Saturday afternoon in November. I would use this as a place to sleep while traveling, but not a great place to hangout.

Ok for a quick stop

This is a little hidden gem as it is not well marked on maps or along highway 101. There are only about 5 campsites(not including the possible equestrian site on the other side of the parking lot), and they are not equally level, spacious, or private, but it is taken care of by a full time host and you are close to the beach and dunes. Be prepared for a hike through deep shifting sand dunes to get to the beach. And watch out for horse poo as this is a busy horse path the local stable takes to the beach. Expect some dust from the gravel road and lot. While here I took advantage of the rental stable and got to ride on the beach; pretty cool experience!

Tiny but close to the beach

Very clean but tiny campground near the beach. Designed for equestrian use but no restrictions posted for other campers. Lots of trails, good turn around, tables &amp; fire rings. No water but a pit toilet. I think Someone is living here but very clean and no trash. We came in  between rain showers and it was just us and the other tent. It's a maybe 1/4 mile walk to the beach over dunes. Very lovely place.


Perfect for horses

We checked this place out but didn't really like the layout so we decided to keep moving. It's one big open area with the sites along the perimeter.  There are only about 5 sites here and there were two other campers when we checked it out in early June.

  

It's $16.43/night and half off for seniors.  There are vault toilets.  Host on site.  

There is a pile for compost waste - I'd assume they don't want food waste thrown on there?? Maybe it's for horse poo.

  

Good cell reception.   Good location, far enough away from Hwy 101 so you don't hear cars, but it's still easily accessible.

Small (only a handful of sites) campground with a moderate walk to the beach. The campground host was very friendly! Most of the sites open up into a shared circular area but it still felt very private and nice! The walk to the ocean was through soft/deep sand (watch out for horse manure as there are horse tours happening nearby). 

Small, low key, quiet campground

The hike to the beach was fantastic.  Eric, the camp host was a great source of information. Gave us some great hikes to do and where to have a shower in town
Could hear the waves crashing all night
