We were in site 006, clearly the BEST site in the whole park. The camp hosts, William and Lisa, were 2 sites up from us. I have NEVER been witness to better camp hosts at any park I've ever been to...ever! They were very personable, helpful, friendly, etc. The place was CLEAN. William was constantly buzzing around in his cart dumping trash and tidying up. Because there are parking spaces for extra vehicles, random peeps would come in and try to park because Sand Dollar Beach is right down the street and it gets full on the weekends. William was patrolling to make sure people who didn't pay to be there would move and hit the road. He had to deal with some real turkeys, but he got the job done. This place is very gorgeous. I will say that the large ROCKS that have strategically placed so people don't park on the grass are a little tough to navigate so you'd better be good at backing in and avoiding damage to your vehicles. Our site was actually level from side to side, which was a shocker. We are 45 ft in length total, truck and trailer and we squeaked into our site 006 just fine.

Beautiful campground with close walking access to Sand Dollar Beach, fun surf & beautiful sunsets. We also road our bikes into Gorda, it was a pleasant ride, say hi to John if you stop by the store! A short hike up the dirt fire road south of camp gets you cell service

What a cool campground this is! Worth every extra mile we had to drive to get there (Hwy 1 was closed so detoured us through Paso Robles and back up coming from Monterey).We were right by the entrance of the site and we had ocean view...! The cliffs on the other side of the road are superb and there is plenty to explore nearby. The campground is beautiful but no showers nor working sinks in the bathrooms, so beware if you are staying more than a few nights. You may need to bring your portable shower bags or be good with wipes :)Love love all the CA state parks campgrounds and this one makes top 3

Great place to spend time close to the ocean. Clean bathrooms.

The camp hosts were so kind and respectful. There's lots of space in the campgrounds, and they were clean. Bathrooms were clean too, flush toilets. No running water in the bathroom faucets this time of year so plan accordingly. There is potable running water dispersed around the campground.

Lovely and Molly is a great host.

NO POTABLE WATER! This was not mentioned before we arrived but luckily we carry a container of water for emergencies when road tripping. Love this campsite. Campers were all respectful and the bathrooms were clean and well stocked. No crazy loud generators. Loud kids during the day and then by night, they were all tuckered out and it was nice.

AVOID SITE 6 IF TENT CAMPING
Our camping experience at campsite 6 is nothing but disappointing! Campsite 6 is the first site as you arrive in the campground, on the left side of the one-way road. We arrived on 6/22/2021 for one night stay. We noticed around early evening, maybe around 7pm, a loud gas generator noise started from the facility next to campsite 6, behind a DO NOT ENTER gate. The facility appeared to be the Los Padres National Forest staff admin or sleeping quarters. Around 9pm as two staff members driving a logo bearing pick up truck in their green uniform T-Shirts were exiting from behind the DO NOT ENTER gate, we caught them to inquire about the noise. One person answered my question that the generator was powering the entire campground and another said the generator should wind down soon. Neither was true. The campground has NO ELECTRICY that requires a generator, and the gas generator DID NOT STOP until around 7am the next morning. Ask me how I know: I did not end up sleeping the whole night because of the noise is so annoying and loud. Even when the generator was off, the sound of a fan, like vacuum machine noise remained on for more than an hour. One of the two guys had told us to talk to the camp host to switch us to another site. We went over to the camp host, only to see a OFF DUTY sign, plus the campground was full. We walked around towards the center common area of the campground, the noise could still be heard there, which we had contemplated of moving our tent over and decided it was useless.
The campground has a generator policy of 10am to 6pm for campers, unfortunately the policy does not seem to apply to the national forest staff. The generator did go off at 10pm for a few minutes, only to come back on throughout the night. What the management should have done is to put out a public notice on the reservation website: for campsite 6, 7, 8, recommend RV or camper van instead of tent camping due to facility gas generator noise.

Great location, easy walk to a fantastic Pacific Coast beach.
@TimothyG804 · Camped on May 14, 2021 at Campsite #6
This spot is great, the only downside is that it can feel a little crowded because it's so popular but there are some sites that a little more removed. Also the bathrooms were kept very clean. I've recommended this site to a bunch of people since visiting.
@JayS838 · Camped on Apr 21, 2021 at Campsite #6
Staff was very friendly, Park including restrooms were very clean.
