One of the best camping sites i have been to. Great views of the ocean and lots to do in this area. If you get a spot go for it!!

Absolutely gorgeous, small, quiet (road is still closed just north of here!) campground. Great little path down to the beach, great hike up to astounding views just across the street. Campsites are spacious and private.

Amazing. It was our first time here and we loved this campsite! We stayed in site 20 for 5 nights. It was spacious and had great views. The vault toilets were.vault toilets. Towards then end of our stay, the smell was getting a bit stronger. The toilet paper was well stocked. Our site had its own little trail directly to the toilets, which was nice. We had a good view of the water. Poison oak was plentiful. Apparently, ticks are too. We didnt have any issues with those; neither did our dogs. There was a trailhead right across the road. It was great for me and my 8 year old. The hosts were awesome. They would drive by and check in. The campers around us were respectful. To get supplies, youll need to drive into Paso Robles. Cambria is a little town thats closer. We didnt look for any supplies, but did gas up while there. Theres a trail between sites 9 and 11 that leads to the beach. Its only 1/3 of a mile to the beach - the very rocky beach. Theres a little patch of sand there. But to get to that, youll need to cross a bunch of rocks. As for critters, there are raccoons and mice. The raccoons are pretty quiet. When at other campsites, we can usually hear the raccoons at night. But not here. We saw the occasional mouse scampering through the low scrubs - and in the bed of our truck one night. Last thing to note is the condensation. So much condensation. As soon as the sun sets, anything thats outside becomes wet. We learned this the hard way after trying to air out some bedding the first day. Even though theres a good amount of grass, theres a lot of dirt patches. So, things can get pretty muddy.

This has become my favorite camping at this location. Perfect location to fully unplug with no cell reception, clean grounds, beach access and breath-taking views.

If you were lucky enough to get a reservation hear you already know. But the hosts are really are excellent. The views don’t suck, And when you’re in paradise like this life really isn’t too bad.

I love this campground - the view can't be beat!

Very nice view, and the spots are private.

We really loved this campground. It’s beautiful and peaceful. BUT when they say poison oak is abundant, they mean it. Our entire spot was surrounded with it, which would be fine if we didn’t have a 2 year old and a dog to keep out of it.

One of the best campgrounds in existence. Period! Everyone should have the chance to stay here at least once. It’s pure heaven outdoors.
