Need to clean up campground lot of human waste and even had clean bathrooms.
I've been coming here my whole life. It's a beautiful spot but attracts a lot of trashy people that don't respect nature. It is currently closed due to flash flooding risk caused by the Woodbury Fire. I got fined $130 for being on the beach while it was closed.
