Super cool camp hosts , very helpful. My one gripe is the HWY being closed and it not being noted on the campsite as I am not a local . I still would have went , would have been nice to know .

Excellent friendly and informative hosts. Great time to go now while Highway 1 is closed just north of the campground. No traffic/noise from the highway! Unparalleled ocean views.

Beautiful ocean view! Very, very clean and safe. Prepare water and enough electricity power.

Kirk Creek can't be beat for its stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and the sunsets. Most sites are well spaced out and provide good views. It was very quiet due to Highway 1 being closed a few miles north of the campground. This campground is more suited for tent campers, car toppers, vans and small travel trailers, Class A's & Class C's. We have a 35' fifth wheel and it was a bit stressful pulling it through the campground and backing it into a hillside site, especially at night. If you want to disconnect from the world for a few days or weeks, this is the place.

Site 30, like most other sites, had a great view of the ocean. Unfortunately, the first photo here is a bit deceiving. I assumed that the tent in the photo belonged to site 30, but it's actually the neighboring site's (31). The second photo is more accurate of the space 30 has. There are also no clear markers to divide both sites in the middle so hopefully, you and your neighbors respect each other's space. There wasn't much flat ground to set up our tent in a way that didn't have us sleeping on sloped ground. I'd recommend a 2-4 person tent size (or even two 2 person tents for more flexibility). Short walking distance to the bathrooms and not so close that you'll smell them from the site either! Raccoons truly are active here and seem to target new visitors. We arrived in the evening and had one car door open to carry things out. After hearing a loud plastic crinkling sound, I turn my flashlight towards the car and see a raccoon jumping out with our chip bag! I chased him a bit and he eventually relented, threw the bag down, and scurried off. It felt as if he couldn't believe I'd have the audacity to go after him. They also got into our neighbor's trash bags when they were setting up camp.

It's my happy place.

Just beautiful - Amazing views, great hiking trails with spectacular ocean views, nice trail down to the rocky shore, spacious and private campsites. What is there not to like!

Never had disappointed when staying at Kirk Creek campground. Cleaning site, friendly and helpful host along with the stunning view in most of the site. My favorite CG in the West coast.
@ScottE154 · Camped on Nov 11, 2021 at Campsite #30
First time visitors! The views were beautiful, the surrounding hikes were fun adventures and the staff was polite and helpful! Truly a hidden treasure. The raccoons are a fun addition but they are definitely brave! We cant wait to visit again.

Great camp host. Super nice spot. Cleanest drop toilets I have ever seen.
@JohnH351 · Camped on Jun 13, 2021 at Campsite #30
Beautiful views! No cell reception. Very quiet and relaxing. No sinks, no water, and septic tank toilets. The toilets were the only reason for the 4 star rating.
@HaleyC267 · Camped on Jun 12, 2021 at Campsite #30
The campsite is absolutely beautiful. There’s a short trail to lead you down to the beach as well. We were unable to book more than one night because the camping sites fill up so fast.
@StephanieS136 · Camped on Apr 20, 2021 at Campsite #30
Make sure to plan that there is no water what some ever.
Also a lot of overgrown bushes and poison oak.
