The park is three miles north of Fort Bragg on Highway 1, near the town of Cleone. The park encompasses much of the land west of Cleone and a strip of beach between Fort Bragg and Ten Mile River.
One of the best State Park California has to offer. There is hiking, walking paths and of course the beautiful Black Sand Beach. The camping sites are big and includes a fire pit with small half grill. The bathroom is nice and clean. The shower are nice and are quarter operated, the entire park staff was friendly and full of useful information about the surrounding area. The of the best parts was getting to see all the different wildlife including deer, birds and of course the late night visitors like racoon and skunks.
The best place to get firewood was a lady right off the hwy 1. It's a small house with huge piles of firewood out front. It's approximately 3-5 minutes from the entrance to the state park.
I highly recommend this park for anyone looking for amazing coastal camping.
If you are in Fort Bragg definitely take time to hit the beaches - all of them. It's beautiful and soul sitting to be that near the ocean and feel the power of it. Northern Cali has some of my favorite water / beaches. Most of the time you will not see another person. Great hiking along the bluffs too. Go revive your inner sanctuary with a visit.
Beautiful beach. It was a very nice place to walk. I Loved seeing the squirrels. Although please don't feed the wildlife, it's very prevalent that the population of birds is affecting sea life
when viewing the tide pools. There still a lot of different types of crabs other types of sea creatures although we sadly didn't see any star fish. It's a great place to see seals though.
We reserved a disabled RV site with a distant view of the ocean, which was walking distance by foot, wheelchair or walker. Close to nice bathrooms and showers. Beautiful flat boardwalk around the ocean and back through grasslands. Picnic tables and sandy beach. Public parking and bathrooms nearby. Dogs are l
Allowed on a leash. We only wish the park had RV hookups.
Beautiful spot, and worth visiting. There's a built in boardwalk that, albeit short, makes for a pretty walk. You can stop and overlook the ocean and if you're lucky, see seals lounging on the rocks. And a gorgeous trail/path that's curves along the coast, providing amazing views the whole way.
