My favorite campground

This campground isn’t the most private. But what it lacks in privacy it makes up for in convenience to the coast, super clean restrooms (not pit toilets), and, as far as I can tell, no fire restrictions even when the rest of the state has them.

Our site, the last one available, was a first come, first served site. It was right on the road but camping in my roof top tent made this a non-issue. Though I would have loved something more private, we ended up engaging with several of the other campers there - which ended up being a great way to spend our time here after all.

This campground is incredibly popular and I don’t recommend rolling the dice like we did - I would reserve a spot. We already planned our next trip there a month from now and are bringing some friends along.

Dogs are welcomed, there is water available near each site, and I recommend bringing your own wood; buying at the camp is pricey.
