Stayed at 22 and 23 and it felt like we were away from people enough. Campsite was clean and well kept up and the camp hosts were so nice and helpful! A bonus with this campsite were the showers and they were hot! Good bathrooms too with flushable toilets. Just remember to bring enough quarters for the showers. The best small hikes next to the campsite and one of them even went down to a beach area! I would say this was one of my favorite campsites to stay at and we will definitely be coming back to explore some more!

Each site had a fire pit and picnic table, both of which were very clean and well maintained. Sites ranged in size, some good for 1 tent with 2 people and others with room for 3 or so tents. Our site was a little smaller, but had a nice privacy divide and lots of trees. Just across the road and down a dirt path is the campground's private river access. It's about a 3-5 minute walk depending on how much you're carrying. The beach is super rocky so it's a good idea to have water shoes and a chair. We enjoyed going for a swim here and sitting out watching the water and wildlife. We stayed in a site closer to the front of the campground and River Road, so it was a bit noisy with the cars going by, but we were prepared for this and brought earplugs, which really helped. They have a regular/family section as well as an adult only section. The adult only section is further back in the campground and noticeably quieter, though it is further from the restrooms. Another major plus was the dishwashing station! They had a 4 compartment sink equipped with soap and sponges. This was so conventinet and made cleaning up a breeze. I booked our reservations with Chris a few months prior to our August stay. The booking process was super easy, you do have to call in and will likely receive a call the next day, so plan to call when you know you'll be by your phone! Would absolutely come back here since there's so much to do in the area and it really is a nice and clean campground.

Ocean Cove is an amazing place to make the drive to and camp for a weekend, a week, or even a…read moreholiday. Yes, the campground gets packed during holiday weekends--but leaving a 1-star review because a popular campground is full makes absolutely no sense . During busy weekends, the campground fills up quickly with campers enjoying their trips with family and friends. If you show up late to a popular campground during a holiday expecting an empty spot to magically be waiting for you, that might be a planning problem--not an Ocean Cove problem . The campground itself is absolutely beautiful. You get insane, million-dollar ocean views, gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, and a great forest trail to walk through. Eventually, you'll find another incredible ocean-view spot known by many as "Service Rock" --usually where people end up trying to catch some service when there isn't much around the campground. One of my favorite things about Ocean Cove is the people. You meet so many friendly people, randomly start conversations, and easily make new friends. It has a real camping atmosphere that keeps people coming back. Now, some of these 1-star reviews are honestly wild . Someone said the cliffs are dangerous and Ocean Cove needs to fence off the entire campground. Absolutely not. This is a natural coastal campground with cliffs. Parents are responsible for watching their children, and adults are responsible for paying attention to their surroundings. We don't need to fence off one of the most beautiful parts of the campground because somebody forgot that cliffs are, in fact, dangerous . Then there are complaints about the honey buckets. During busy weekends, there are a LOT of people using them. The staff can maintain them, but they can't clean them every 10 seconds . Have realistic expectations. Complaining that Ocean Cove is too expensive is also crazy. Maintaining a campground, paying employees, and keeping a business running costs money. What do people expect--an incredible campground on the California coast with insane ocean views for $10 a night forever? Ocean Cove is worth the money. And the complaints about it being "overly crowded"... seriously? What do you expect during a busy weekend--an empty campground? If the place is packed, that should tell you something: people love coming here. The people working here also deserve recognition. Matt in the store is an awesome guy--friendly, easy to talk to, and always cool. 10/10. Joe is also a great and helpful guy. And Joe and Louise around the campground are both incredibly kind and friendly with a great sense of humor. Just understand: if you give them shit, you're probably going to get shit right back . And lastly: OYSTER DIVE! I don't care what anybody says--those oysters are BOMB. Fresh, cleaned on the spot, freshly grilled, and the sauces are absolutely fire. 11/10. Broke the scale. They never get old, and buying a dozen--or several--is always worth it . Overall, Ocean Cove is a phenomenal place to camp. Incredible ocean views, sunsets, forest trails, great people, amazing employees, and some seriously good food. To the people leaving 1-star reviews because the campground was busy during a holiday, because they expected every cliff to be fenced off, or because a busy employee didn't stare directly into their soul when they walked into the store: respectfully, maybe Ocean Cove just isn't for you . For everyone else who enjoys nature, camping, incredible views, good people, and having a great time--Ocean Cove is absolutely worth the drive and worth every dollar. Ocean Cove NEEDS to stay in business FOREVER and continue being passed down through generations! 10/10. Every. Single. Time.

I've been camping at Ocean Cove Campground for years, and it remains one of my absolute favorite…read morecoastal escapes in Northern California. If you want front-row seats to the Pacific, this is the spot. The campsite sits right up on the bluffs, offering raw, panoramic views of the ocean, dramatic cliffs, and incredible sunsets. There's nothing quite like falling asleep to the sound of crashing waves and waking up with a cup of hot coffee while looking out for sea life down in the coves. First-Come, First-Served: So if you're aiming for a prime oceanfront spot on the bluff edge, plan to arrive early in the day--especially on weekends. Rustic Vibe - It's dry camping (port-a-potties, no hookups), but the stunning location and open layout make it worth every bit. The family-run general store makes stocking up super easy if you run low on firewood, ice, or snacks. It's laid-back, beautiful, and keeps me coming back season after season. Highly recommended if you're looking for proper cliffside coastal camping.

Nice location half way down river to have a picnic lunch. No parking on site but available at park across the street ($12) or free parking across the bridge. Of the 4 kayaks we used only 1 had the connections for tie downs and a single rope to tie down our cooler. Take plenty of sunscreen since there is no way to avoid the sun for about 3 hours. The suggestion to take dry clothes for after the trip was appreciated. No way you can get away from getting wet.

We got to the meeting point early so we hung out. Workers were friendly. They quickly briefed us on the route and what to expect. Then we boarded the shuttle that dropped us off 5 miles up the river. We took a 30 min lunch break but the rest of the time I was paddling for about 3.5 hours! 5 miles doesn't seem like a long distance as I can run it in under an hour but this took us a long time! We were all relieved when we finally spotted the bridge around the bend and knew we had arrived back at the starting point! Plenty of parking in front street or across the street at memorial park.

I ended up asking the owner for some advice on how to get started in the local waters.

This place is definitely a local gem. Whether you're a regular or you're like me and somehow managed to leave your tackle box at home, it's a great spot to drop by. Great service and even better advice!
