Gualala Point camping features a small campground set among the Gualala River redwoods on the east side of Highway 1.
Nineteen sites are available for tents, trailers and RVs, though no hook-ups are available. Generator hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Six sites are walk-in, located in a dense grove of bay trees a short distance from campground parking. One site is reserved for visitors arriving on foot or by bicycle.
Restrooms have flush toilets, electrical outlets and a coin-operated shower ($2 for 5 minutes). There is also a dump station.
I went camping here with my dad for 2 nights and it was wonderful. We reserved plot F of the Walk in campsites and it was wonderful. The spot itself was simply gorgeous, and it was far enough away from other campsites that we couldn't see them. There was plenty of room to set up our tents and the food box was for sure raccoon proof. (They tried valiantly) The host was very nice and the firewood was a good price. The bathrooms are somewhat of a walk, but that wasn't a problem for us. The only slight downside is that you can hear the highway from the campsite, but it wasn't too loud, and it dies down after dark and it didn't bother us much. It also felt very safe. My dad went into town for a few hours both days so he could call his work and I was alone at the campsite, I didn't once feel like I was in danger. The entire place is just a calm little getaway that gives you a lovely sense of the woods. I will be back!!
Beautiful park. There is a parking cost but well worth it. The walk to the beach is filled with lots of green trees and a nicely paved path for a majority of the walk. The beach itself is very clean and had really neat driftwood shelters along the beach. During our visit we only saw two other people in the whole hour at spent here. It's a very peaceful area even when we visited mid day on a Saturday.
There is a 7 dollar day use fee. Bluff trail is very scenic and short. It loops around to connect with a short trail to the beach.
A beautiful stroll along the bluff. Whale-watch point. Driftwood shelters and fascinating geology, long stretch of windswept sands. River meets sea in wide scenic arc from bridge to beach.
Absolutely beautiful park on the river with trails to the ocean. Nice visitor center with wifi. There is a campground across the street that must be reserved ahead of time. If it is full and you have a self-contained vehicle (including toilet and sink with water systems) under 25 feet, you may park overnight in a designated spot in the day use area, check in and pay at self kiosk.
