very nice place to camp with the family and the best thing is free. You just have to get a permit to make bonfires it's easy and fast all the information is at the entrance of the camp. Definitely we come Back also most of the beaches are like around 20 to 30 mnts near
I really loved this place. The campground had large camping lots with great views.
It’s free and dogs are allowed. Bathrooms were clean.
The trails were well maintained and the hikes were easy (Not too steep, lots of flat ground).
Lots of bikers and your casual hikers around.
Would definitely come back.
Lots of bees buzzing around. It was free. Has a public toilet. A few spots available on 9-1-22. One lane road. Not for big RVs. I used a tent. They have bear boxes. Picnic table at site. There's warning about fleas on rodents with the plague. Said cats are most susceptible to plague. Lots of squirrels in area. I would stay again.
There are not many free camp sites in San Jose or San Francisco, so I drove 9 hours to get here. My purpose was to setup and try my new tent out. Didn't camp overnight.
I think the most important thing to know is that the road is a single lane and there isnt a defined direction of travel. Be prepared to backup to the next turnout (if someone isn't. Already parked there.) Traffic will flow both ways. This can be dangerous in some spots. Fortunately traffic flow is very light.
You should also be careful of wild animals roaming the area. Cook downwind and several meters away from your camp. Also be sure you are not camping next to a fresh water source.
There were car campers and tent campers there when I went. I don't know if RVs are allowed, but they are not maneuverable here.
It is easier to find a camp w/ a hammock and cover setup. Tent camp sites tend to fill quick and people stay a while.
Bring drinking water and lip balm. For some reason I got extra thirsty and my lips started to dry. I regularly drink water and keep 10L in the car.
I saw a restroom at the entrance, but since it isn't close (and a risky night drive) I reccomend bringing a bottle(s) to pee in and a "Go Girl" for the ladies. Advice from an advid road tripper. It is best to go to the restrooms, even if your body doesn't tell you, right before nightfall.
Great little campground and you can’t beat the price. I had a nice time camping here for three nights in July. The tough part about it is all the bugs. It is thick with vicious mosquitoes. And there’s other bugs aplenty as well.
Other reviews have mentioned noise. There were only nice fellow campers during my stay, and it was quiet, except for all the vehicles driving through which was surprisingly often. And most of them going way too fast.
