San Simeon Creek Campground is one of the oldest parks in the California State Park system and it shows a bit. It is easy to find, just north of Cambria off of Highway 1. The only negative I can think of is some of the showers did not always have hot water. Be sure to check the water before you commit! Otherwise, a good campground. A pro for me, but maybe a negative for others, is no cell reception. We had AT&T and there were 0 bars. A bonus in my book!

Campsite 99 is a great site and we stayed for three nights. It offers privacy and it is a large space. Lots of room for a trailer and tents with a fire pit and a picnic table. There are showers and flush toilets in the Creek Campground area, an active amphitheater with staff-led presentations for the kids, and a wooded boardwalk trail to the beach. While it is close to Highway 1, we found it to be quiet and very enjoyable.

The big advantage to this campground is the proximity to Hearst Castle, the Piedras Blancas Light Station (reservations needed and highly recommended), and the elephant seals. Another great spot is the WR Hearst SB, which is right across from the entrance to Hearst Castle. Excellent little Marine Center, a beautiful beach, and is close to a nice little sandwich shop. Get some food and enjoy the views from the many picnic tables. We would stay here again.
