Beautiful views but don't expect to get a full nights rest

Be prepared to jump on a reservation the second they become available. Reservation have a 6 month rolling availability. Plan ahead.

Bathrooms and showers are fairly clean. Token showers for .50/ 2 minutes. Staff has always been friendly. Camp store at the park for anything you need.  Family friendly camp. Lots of kids. Tent and RV spots. 

The sites are up on a bluff so you'll need walk down about 25 feet of stairs to the beach. Pacific Coast Highway is on the other side of the camp spots. But traffic does quite down some at night.

But, there are train tracks next to PCH and the camp grounds.  The train comes through several times a night and blows its horn loudly each time.  So don't for get ear plugs.

But great place to camp if you can get a spot.
