Site 69 is one of the only shady and breezy ones. Great on very hot days but a bit cold the rest of the time.

We stayed at site 49 with electric and water. The sites along the bluff are stunning, though!

an urban campground . If you like the beach it's super close but it's not a campground where you want to hang out all day. Use it as a base to explore the local area like Monterey instead!

Sites 67 and 68 are the best/most secluded as long as you get both. Also: end of July/August...wild blackberries everywhere!

Ralph Lemke

Campsites 73 75 76 have amazing views

Angie Melnikoff

Great place to camp. Try to get premium site for best view and space.

Site 69 was awesome

In late August, early September the fish run brings the dolphin in numbers.
