Samuel P Taylor camp ground is a great spot. The facilities are extremely nice and well kept. During the summer months it is extremely busy though. Expect the possibility of loud campers at night. The biggest thing to know about this campground is the Raccoons. They are aggressive and will take ANY food that is left out. Keep all food in closed containers, in your vehicles, or in the wood bins that are provided. The animals will walk right up to you and take food from you if you are not careful. Overall, a great spot to stay.

The location is great. The cost is reasonable. The views are great. The bathrooms are extremely dirty most of the time though. The beach has some trash, depending on the season. There is not much privacy from other campground plots but the commute to beaches south and San Fran to the north is easy. Overall, fun place but not exactly a remote camping experience.
