We've been camping here for many years, and go at least twice a year. The sites are actually large compared to most other places we have been. Crabbing is great and there's lots to do from clamming to fishing to exploring. We saw last time they are building toilets and showers, that will be nice. We haven't experienced any rude staff. The new car thing is a bit annoying, but not outlandish since we've been to many other places where they are strict with extra cars. In the peak of summer it's very crowded and there can be some sketchy people, you might want to lock up or put away coolers or anything expensive. read more

Let's talk about Lawson's Landing. Overpriced items and sub par place to stay. This isn't a theme park, but the people there are definitely characters in a bad tv show. HARD PASS! The Owner, a person I would NEVER want to be be associated with. A real piece of work. Observed many times over the years shares entitled rude behavior with that of a tycoon. Two years ago, I'll never forget, this guy was complaining to ANY Customer who would listen about how he does so much to keep this place open and that people that complain about anything and everything are so ungrateful. It was really really colorful and downright disgusting. Excuse me? The people that PAY YOUR TAXES are ungrateful that you don't upgrade the sites they pay extreme amounts for? That you don't offer any amenities such as a shower or even that thing called...electricity? That you cater towards camping trailers with no water hookups? Mmmm, ok guy. Breathe. You do not provide toilets. Let alone ADA compliant areas for the toilets. You provide nasty ports potty that aren't even level on the ground. How is anyone supposed to wheelchair into the porta potty? They shake when you are in them. And they are disgusting. Your workers? blast them with a sudo washer and don't even take out the seat covers OR the toilet paper....and miss all the grossness. And then leave the residual water/product....that's just nasty.You blast gross stuff off the floor ONTO the toilet paper and seat covers because of laziness. I mean seriously....it's barely 50 outside and now I have to sit on a nasty went porta potty because your are too lazy to upgrade, let alone move paper until you are done? Penny pinch much? And what a concept of adding a smelly paper tree to remove some nasty stink. The photos are of the "handicap" porta potty. The others were gross, too. If not worse. These were after a "clean" too! You also do not provide electricity or anything that resembles comfort here. The grounds are totally unlevel on the camp sites. So, you won't be seeing many disabled folks here. OOOOO, all the dumpsters were FULL. Everywhere. It was a Wednesday. Majority of the camp sites are behind dunes. Unless you go to the seawall area, with no running water there either. Nothing to see but your neighbors getting drunk and dogs wandering everywhere. Fun. Never saw a "camp ranger" once. You have so many sites crammed next to one another so you can benefit off making money. 60$ for a pair of sweats? What? Like, woah guy. Ego much? Ohhhh, let's talk about the campers! Zero enforcement. Parking in other peoples spots and parking IN the roadways. Legit blocking people. And then have rude persons get defensive because they got asked politely to move their illegally parked vehicles from your purchased spot. So like, no, this place is not great. You get belligerent people and their visitors.....mmmmm, fun. This place is not worth it. Overcrowded, too. This isn'y Yosemite, and if it were, it would at least offer real amenities. This place does not. read more

I'm new to that trailer life and this was the first place I pulled ours for some time away. I loved that this campground was right on Tomales Bay. The view from most campsites included the water, which is a nice perk, and the campground has great access to a private beach and dunes to explore. I loved that you could crab and fish directly from the beach, and we actually managed to catch a keeper rock crab! If you've got a small boat you may even be able to launch from the beach, and we def saw boats coming back with halibut caught right offshore. When I think of camping I think of being surrounded by nature, but this is a busy campground and to me it felt more like a large lot than a place to camp. I loved that we were with friends and could have that camping vibe, cooking meals and hanging out around a fire into the wee hours of the morning. The major plus see here were the access to the bay, and we made a lot of fun just kicking it on the beach, but the biggest downsides to me were how close the sites were to each other, the sound of generators constantly running, and the minimal scenery around each site to minimize the parking lot vibes. We still had a blast and I'm excited to go back again with the crew now that we're more familiar with our rig! read more

We booked this spot to camp because we had never been to this area before. The area is very clean and very spacious. If you're looking to fish, this is a great location, but not really great for much else. There are no toilets or showers available, but some very clean porta-potties are available all over the campgrounds. The store has cute basic items available, but the staff wasn't very friendly when we were there; maybe it was an odd couple of days. The quiet hours are enforced, which was very nice and the beautiful foggy mornings were the best things about this campground. read more

My family has been camping at lawsons for 30+ years and we've always had a great time and have made a lot of good memories. The amount of time, effort and money you put in to camping to go have a good time with your friends and family isn't worth going to lawsons anymore. If you camp with other people and they bring friends who do things the camp host doesn't agree with you will go down with them weather you invited them or they were invited by other people. You will be accused of doing things morons from other campsites are doing such as lighting fireworks when you have absolutely nothing to do with it. So basically anyone who is associated with you will be in trouble too. Be very selective in who you camp with here. Sadly my family is banned and we have not done anything wrong. Not to mention the staff at the window when you pull in are not the most friendly people. read more

Stayed for two nights with our RV trailer at a beach side site, a little windy, but really nice place. It's located at the opening of Tomales Bay to the ocean and the fishing opportunities are many! We crab fished with great success.. read more

It couldn't be any less thank 5 stars for me. Park my rig right on top of the beach? The Hank you very much! There are no hookups but there are 2 better than average sanitation stations as they are on elevated areas with the drain ports as close as you want to get. Water and sanitation. Days go by quickly it seems. Gotta get this work thing out of the way, permanently. Nice place to decompress, gather one's thoughts, and make plans. Definitely would come back. The on site store is great. The prices are very reasonable and a very pleasant surprise. Thanks to Willy and Gage. These two are the perfect pair to handle boat launching, tank filling, a lot more, taking their time to make us feel like welcome guests. Thank you! read more

Had a great time at Lawson's Landing. Staff is friendly and helpful. Only downside is if you don't buy your shirts, sweatshirts, and hats while you are there, then you miss out. The online shopping has one sweatshirt. I am so disappointed that we couldn't buy it while we were there. Now we miss out. read more

I came here for the day with my son to hang out for some co-workers this past Saturday. This campground is located right next to Dillon's Beach. Not sure how much it is to camp here, but it was $15 for a day use parking pass. It's a huge campground there is the Dillon's Beach side and if you go further down, there is the Lawson's Landing side in a bay. When you pull up to the gate, you need to park and get out to pay which is annoying, especially if you have an RV or are towing something. They don't provide you with a map of the campground, it it can be difficult to find where your site is. You just have to look on the fence posts where the site numbers are posted. This campground is for both RV/Camper Trailers and tents, but it seems like majority of the people have RV/Trailers (2/3, RV/Trailers to 1/3 tents). There are no hookups, so be prepared for dry camping. There are porta potties the rough out the campsites, but no hand washing stations. There are a few water spigots scattered around the campsites, but difficult to find as they are not marked. Another thing I noticed was that it is very dog friendly as it seems like 75% of the campsites had dogs. You are suppose to leash your dogs here, but they don't enforce it so there are a lot of loose dogs running around. Each campsite has a picnic bench/table and a fire pit. The best thing about this campground is that it is right on the water. On the Dillons Beach side, you just climb over a a large, steep sand dune and you are on the beach. On the Lawson's Landing Store side, it's on a bay, so the water is a little calmer, so you can kayak, maybe paddle board, fishing and crabbing. This place is known for crabbing during crab season. The Lawson's Landing store is actually pretty cool where they sell a bunch of random stuff, plus you can also purchase bait and cream bars/popsicles there. Overall, I felt this place is a little too crowded even there though the campsites are decent size, they are a little too close together for my taste especially with so many loose dogs running around. Make sure you keep an eye out for your food, otherwise a dog may get to it. At night you also need to need to pack up your food because there are other animals/birds/critters that may come and steal your food as well. Location: 5/5, easy beach and water access Camping: 3/5, too crowded, dirty porta potties, too many unleashed dogs Store: 4/5, lots of cool stuff there to see/buy Employees: 4/5, mostly friendly and nice, don't enforce leashing rule for dogs Overall: 3.5/5 stars read more

4 stars I've been here a few times over the years on day trips just to enjoy the raw beach, crashing waves, & sand dunes the kids like to slide down on. Usually it's windy, but always it's the natural ocean we enjoy. Lawsons is by no means fancy. In fact the only "nice" or modern part is the store, which I absolutely love to go in and browse when I need a change of scenery. You will find everything there except for maybe an extensive grocery section. My favorite part is likely what I call the Home Goods/Kirkland/Hobby Lobby section which has the most adorable sea and nautical themed items such as crabs, whales, ocean, etc. You will also find items for the crabbing experience such as squid, fishing items, unique items like colors you can throw into your campfire to make it rainbow colored. I wish I brought my sons kite, but if you want to fly one they have their own kite section. If you're hungry and don't feel like cooking or want to innterupt your experience by cooking, they have a few microwaveable items like pizza rolls, burritos, and even some stuff to take back to your site like hash browns. That same section also has coffee and teas and a microwave. Lawsons is a huge campground and if you camp far, you will need a car or bike or be ok with all the walking. You will for sure have to be okay with the wind too. I haven't been here 1 time over the years and it hasn't been windy. For the last 2 years we came the week after Christmas and it rains a lot during that time. Crabbing in the day hasn't proven fruitful, but crabbing at night, like after 6pm-12am has. Every single evening we threw the pods out we've come back with at least 8 or so crabs. When we went in the day we've came back with 1 or 2. Snares are hardly as fruitful as the pods and if you have a kayak or boat even better. It's really a great idea to know tides well and how that relates to crabbing. And also extremely wise to not use a kayak without knowing how to use it during the tides going out. The lady at the store told us 2 women in kayaks had to be helicopter back in recently. And when our 2 men went out during the outgoing tide it took everything in their middle aged bodies to paddle back to shore. I would love to come back when the tides are low for clamming. The spring is supposed to be great for that. We stayed in 524 and 525 and I really liked the proximity to the store, it's only a 2 minute walk or so and beach crabbing area we like to be at most of the time. Note to self, bring kites, a water jug to bring to wash our hands at at the beach, sledding saucers to go down dunes with and maybe bikes to ride all the way into Dillons Beach general store and around town in. read more

Yes, a 5 star review for a campground that has , virtually, no amenities. Lawsons isn't a place...it's an experience. It's a blue-collar oasis surrounded by Marin county snobbery. Lawsons is a place for kids to run freely, to play, to find crabs and run down sand dunes smiling. It's cold, windy and foggy yet the kids run around in shorts with no shirts caring not about the cold. Rules are more like guidelines and the only thing that is certain is that your kids will remember the fun and freedom for the rest of their lives. On busy weekends there is a reassuring zeitgeist of humming generators, gravel crunching under car tires, kites flying and most importantly kids laughing. Bring your kids and your sweatshirts. read more

Been coming to Lawson's Landing for almost 30 years, our group of 30 to 45 love coming back every year!!! Lots of changes in the past 30 years!! A lot of the complaints people are complaining about are the results of Government Involvement!! Not Lawsons Landing!!! Lawson's Landing has had a lot changes due to government regulations made by people who haven't got the slightest idea of what they're doing !!! A very sad thing for the owners of this private property!!!! My one biggest complaint is that Lawson's Landing Management does not in-force the dog leash rule!! Some people think that Leash Rule is for everyone except themselves!!! I've seen dog fights almost every year I'm here, people walking there dog on a leash down the road, an here comes a dog running from a camp without a leash on, an the fight is on!!! Lawson's Landing should change their dog rule to read, any dog caught, caught off a leash outside of any RV, camper, tent or boat will be asked to leave, with no refund!! I M H O!!! read more

I saw many good reviews and some not too impressed reviews about Lawson's Landing before I came for camping. It turns out I like the campground and the beautiful beaches in the area a lot! The campground is pretty busy. I almost think it is too many people and RVs. But the campground is huge, and I don't feel it is crowded at all. The campsites are pretty big with enough rooms between RVs. The check-in is a little different than most of the campgrounds. Most campgrounds let the drivers pull up next to the check-in stand, but Lawson's Landing requires the RVs to stop in front of the gate and walk to the check-in stand. It confused some people. I saw a driver pass the whole line in front of the check-in stand just because he didn't know people were lining up in front of the stand. Lol! The campground is very windy when I'm there. I have been told it is always like that most of the time! Make sure to bring a jacket even if you're in the summer. Another thing I must bring up is don't trust the Apple map GPS if you're using an iPhone. It brings me into the village. I almost can't make a turn on the very narrow street. Google map working in the area. I hope Apple will fix this problem soon! read more

I have been a faithful Lawson's Landing crabber since 2018. I have brought friends, my daughter, and raved about this special place. I am really disappointed to say I will taking a long break due to the rude and unprofessional conduct of the owner, Mr. Lawson. As I was driving in to the landing to enjoy a day of crabbing, a SUV in front of us was going much slower and braking. I attempted to go around them to get to the boat launch, when they abruptly swerved in front of me and cut me off, almost causing a wreck. A male got out of the car, approached our vehicle angrily, yelling at us "I'm Mr. Lawson, the owner, I own this place, get out now, off my property the speed limit is 5 mph!" There was no discussion, warning and the identified owner was very aggressive, akin to someone having road rage. I would have appreciated if the owner had a conversation regarding the speed limit and a warning or at least spoken in a professional manner. I was escorted off the property and supposedly given a refund of $15 which I have yet to receive. There is one small sign saying 5mph at the entrance, hard to notice. If going 5mph over the speed limits warrants being yelled at and removal from the property it should be reminded when you pay at the entrance and many signs should be posted that this is a strictly enforced. I was not driving recklessly or fast, 10 mph is hardly dangerous. There were no pedestrians or other cars besides us and the SUV in front of us. This was the first time bringing my partner there and he was really upset about the treatment, we will not be going back and will be letting our friends know not to support this establishment. This was a very upsetting experience after driving 1.5 hours from Oakland. read more

Update...so after going here a couple of more times since my original post I will say that they can be difficult in terms of Reservations or working with you to change them ...we go in December when the place is literally at 25 percent capacity and they still can be difficult...we enjoy the proximity to the water in the 700 number sites amd that really is why we've been back ...looking into Doran next December read more

It was my BF and I's first time camping and crabbing here. For our first time, it was an ok overall experience. The campsite we chose was near Dillon's Beach side and was about $55/night. We only stayed one night. The campsite was pretty spacious and we were close to the beach access and bathrooms/trash. Each site comes with a bench and bonfire pit. The reason we came here was mainly to crab. Since our campsite was far from the area where people usually crab (Tomales Bay side/near the Lawson's Landing store) we ended up driving our car back and forth to go crabbing which wasn't too bad. But, now we know where to choose our campsite the next time we come here. You can crab at the beach access but it's way more rough than it is on the bay side. During crabbing season, it does get pretty crowded, so be sure to come early to secure a spot. There are no showers here and water access is pretty spread out. I wish sinks were available. Bathrooms are gross just like any other public porta potty--especially being a girl lol. But, I'm glad I brought my own portable toilet with me haha. Anyways, it was quite an experience and I'm glad we didn't leave empty handed. We were able to snare two keeper Dungeness crabs. read more

Lawsons landing was the perfect spot to shuck some oysters and camp out. The drive from SF to here has plenty of places to pick up really fresh seafood (Hog Island, Tomales Bay) and then you can cook by the campfire and go to the beach. It was definitely incredibly windy in May, therefore, make sure you weigh down your tent if you leave the site, and layer up. Otherwise, it was a really great place to camp out with a ton of accommodations. It was spread out, we would recommend staying closest to the water. It was a majority trailers but some campers. They also sold fire wood and pretty much anything you could imagine at the general store. Pricy compared to national parks, but definitely get seafood and make the most out of this by going to point Reyes and Tomales bay. read more

Proximity to the beach? 5 stars. Everything else? Subtract all stars possible. Where to start? The list of negatives seems endless. 1) the unpaved road. Lawson, you likely pull in several thousand dollars a DAY. More often than not, your customers are people with $60k trucks and $40k+ RV's. You think we want to screw up our vehicles with the absurd amount of potholes that cover the ENTIRE length of your campground? These rubicon-rated dips are violent enough to make one lose their lunch. Driving over it for the short distance screams that you don't care and likely didn't care past the day it was initially paved 60 years ago. 2) The [lack of] amenities. No WiFi, no hook ups, ok fine. But the sorry excuse for a water spigot (it seems there are 3 for the entire 200 sites?) that are completely corroded, unmarked, and with zero fanfare, and what you call "bathrooms" (port o potties) can only be looked at as now we are in an abusive relationship with you for the short 4 days we camped here. You mistreat us and beat us down and we feel obligated to stay because by god we made it down the bumpy road to our campsite, we ain't leaving. Why won't you do an actual bathroom? Not that we need it cause our RV has one, but the portapotties just look trashy. 3) The dumping station- we referred to it as a hate crime. 2 for the entire place, and completely unkempt. The hose provided is an antique but no matter, the faucet head was broken anyway. The long lines to use this before we left was just insulting. 4) the customer service was non existent. The lady who "checked us in" didn't say hello and didn't give us a map or a run down of anything or give any indication that she was happy to be alive and with a job. She basically snapped at us for our name and then waved us in. We spent another 20 minutes looking for our campsite because nothing was marked, there were no signs pointing us anywhere (camping spots had numbers but the numbers were attached to the BACK of each lot so if a trailer was parked in a spot there was no way of seeing where you were) and the other thing is that the counting is not consistently in order so our campsite #5 was in between campsite #207 and #36, if you get what I'm saying. 5) no general store, no kiosk that so much as had a band aid for sale. 6) if you are unlucky and choose the wrong campsite blindly, there is a row of "cabins" that look like they are all hoarders with mountains of trash bags and other misc. broken debris and live there permanently, so be careful to not get stuck next to that. 7) no patrol or enforcement. We were there with our dog and while we appreciate the friendly dog policy, the campsite next to us had not only families in regular rotation (like, one trailer guest had several different cars of people come each night to use the facility) and with them came dogs. Lots. At one point we counted 8 dogs and not on leash and some came to poop in our site. Lovely. But we did luck out to have a campsite right next to the beach trail AND during their half capacity quarantine stage so that actually made it nice. read more

Lawson's Landing - Boating Near Me - Dillon Beach, California

Gets a solid 3.5 I usually been here for day trips but recently camped out. People are usually pretty chill. Campsites are close to the water no matter where you camp. The dunes make for a bit of a walk but no biggie. Theres firepits at almost every campsite, but no direct power or water hooks ups at the individual camp sites. There are dedicated water areas to fill up your RV, but some are not well placed for use. Some of the individual campsites are massive and very fairly priced Very little no to internet coverage with ATT. you have to be on the beach to get service. The store is limited but has most of the basics from water to charcoal, to oysters, to fishing supplies, and poo-pouri. My only real gripe with this place is though some of the campsites have enough room for 3 RVs, they will only allow you 1 RV, and two cars. It's also a 20-30 minute drive one way if you need to get gas or get to a store. Other than that I really enjoy lawsons. Staff has always been incredibly friendly and we always have an awesome time here. Give it a shot! read more

Camp host is TERRIBLE. He got my family of 6 banned for life (2 adults, 4 kids). We kept our reservation and went through there and as if the wet cold weekend wasn't already tough to deal with we had this guy harassing us day and night. Hardy anyone was camping this weekend and we had a group of us and he complained about the the music and the way other people's trailers were parked at our site. As far as the music at night, we didn't have ours on because we have 4 kids that were sleeping. Our friends ended up moving their trailer that he didn't approve of being in the spot it was. We figured since no one was camping anywhere near us we would be able to block ourselves from the elements but It turned out to be a huge problem. Again not my trailer parked the wrong way. He eneded up arguing with people who were friends of some of our friends but again my family got blamed for the Disrespect. I've been camping at lawsons for 30 years and we have never dealt with anything like this. Lawsons us my kids favorite place to camp and it really bothers me that we just got banned for life...but its ok for the camp host to have been professionally taking shots of whiskey with some of the people from our crowd but were the ones out of line? Long story short there is no room for error at this campground and you'll get banned for things you didn't even do. While they might think he's a gem and "doing his job", he's very unprofessional and looks like an ex drug addict. I'm only writing this review because I think what has happened is totally unfair. I called and talked to the owner but was only told about how disrespectful we were and that their camp host is good at his job. Well we were never disrespectful, our music wasn't on and our trailer was parked just fine. Was there music on? Yes but not from our trailer. Was someone parked illegal? Yes, but not us. Was someone disrespectful to the host? Yes but it was one of our friends, friend. After hearing some of these people got their ban lifted who the ones actually doing this stuff has definitely rubbed me the wrong way. read more

Lawson's Landing - A child's magical adventure - Boating Near Me - Dillon Beach, California

Spent the last 4 days of January here, and had the most spectacularly wonderful weather. That, coupled with the fact that there were almost no other campers here, made for the best time ever! Lawson's Landing is a rustic camping gem, particularly if you have an RV and can camp in the off season. Tent camping would be a bit of a challenge, porta potties, no showers, etc., but well worth it for those who can rough it a bit. We made our reservations online. I love it when I can look at a campsite map, see what is available, and then choose the campsite. We chose to camp along the sea wall, as the grassy sites near the dunes can be a little soggy during the wet season. The sites are close together, so don't expect privacy during camping season, but in January, we had almost the entire camp to ourselves. There are lots of cows, but they won't bother you unless you leave a tasty little potted plant on an outside table like we did, which a cow viewed as an invitation to stop by for a snack. Laughs and lesson learned. From our campsite, we watched the tide come in and out, and at low tide we watched the tiny jet streams of water that came from the clams. We fished for crabs off the pier, and netted quite a few, some large enough to keep. We pulled out the binoculars and watched the elk on the reserve across the bay. We walked on the beach. What more could you want? We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. They ran a special rate to entice campers to stay past the weekend which we were more than happy to accept. They have an active Facebook account which keeps you up to date on activities, weather, etc., which is an added plus. 5-star experience, can't wait to go back. read more

my mom and i booked the entire weekend,4 nights to be exact. we arrived late, at 9:30 pm. we had a very hard time finding our campsite, spot 713, and there was no signs, no lights, no map for us to help find our spot. when we finally found it we parked and in the middle of putting our slides out there was a harsh loud banging that scared us deeply, it was a very rude man telling us that no engines or generators on past 9 and it was 9:07 pm. we shut off our engine very quickly but while taking our pups out we heard 2 very loud generators on both side of us and loud music playing. very disappointing. if you are looking for a muddy lot with no privacy and obnoxious people banging on your door this is the place. we ended up leaving that next morning and never came back, we didn't even try to get our money back since the lady working there was so rude. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Mr Lawson was rude and had the worst customer service. We had family camping here and were coming to their campsite but told us to walk a mile to their campsite to get them to pick up up and bring us In but never said to wait until after 11am for the day use passes to open for availability. They do not abide by rules for keeping your dogs on leash or other cars for the campsites but instead told us to walk. His customer service towards other drivers even pulling in was horrible. His attitude and condescending tone were one for the record books. Stay away from this place if you expect good customer service and a fun family experience read more

Worst campground I have ever been to in my life. Check in was very disorganized. Staff at check in was extremely rude and I was talked to (yelled at) as if I were a child (seriously, if you hate your job or people that bad, I suggest finding a new one) The sites were poorly labeled if labled at all and no map was provided. The sites are basically on top of one another with your neighbors RV tent and fire right next to you. Our site was on a dirt lot with ashes from the previous camper, garbage and a dirty picnic table. The dumpsters were filled to the maximum and the portable bathrooms were disgusting. As I watched my dog lay in the dirt we decided to take down our tent and leave. We were probably there for an hour. What a waste of money, drive and weekend. I hope this helps others in not wasting your money or time on this place. Go elsewhere. read more

My sister reserved camping spots for both our families. I showed up before her to an empty lot and proceeded to unpack our things and set up camp. Out of nowhere one of the workers starts screaming at us from the top of his lungs to get our truck out of that spot RIGHT NOW!!! Unbeknownst to us, you were only supposed to walk the block in with all your things. When we pulled in, there were no tents set up, nobody around, and no signs. Had we known, we obviously would not have parked our truck in there. If the lunatic had kindly told us that we were not allowed to park in the area, we would have graciously apologized and moved our truck quickly. I had 2 traumatized kids on the first day on their very first camping trip. Thanks Ahole. We had a pleasurable stay nonetheless. Kids enjoyed the beach and wildlife.

Stayed overnight with family,staff was friendly although charged us twice but resolved...a bit crowded but I still cant wrap my head around the tolerance of blatant racism.I called after our weekend to alert the staff of the blatant displays of hate and was told they respect the 1st amendment regardless of hate speech.I will never be back read more

Lawson's Landing - Boating Near Me - Dillon Beach, California

the best camp place ever. goi g on Halloween is the best, and it's just like of-the-grid camping but more fun

Really nice and informative staff the tractor boat launch was easy nice fishing spot great tackle store

Pretty amazing how much a place, (or a person) can change in just a few years. Our experience at Dillon Beach at the end of this year's Dungeness Crab season was the best time I've ever had at this beach. The camp spot we were on was on the water, rather than the dunes, and yes, we still had fisherman and others walking through our spot at times, but mostly it was just us and our dog. We watched a full moon rise and set over the water while BBQing oysters over the fire. Romantical, lovely water lulled us to sleep at night and we were blessed with perfect weather. We made friends with the campers on either side of us and some of the people there on day-trips too. The store sells reasonably priced firewood, coffee (discounted if you refill your cup) and lots of other supplies. They also have day permits if you don't have an annual fishing license. We cast a few lines into the water but didn't put much effort into catching fish, and our reward was as such. But most of the dedicated fishers, crabbers, and clammers walked away with seafood feasts. Our travel plans for this fall have changed slightly so we're postponing a big trip a couple months, and instead plan to return to amazing spots like this one instead. Looking forward to lots more fresh crab in our future! read more

Beautiful location but we wished the roads were better. Pot holes everywhere. It made biking difficult for the children. But sand sledding was the best!! Great dunes for kiddos to sand sled. We stayed in the Meadows and love the wide spaces. Another positive note was that the general store had oysters from Tomales Bay. Saved us a trip to pick up oysters and wait in the long lines. We will definitely come back. read more

Used to live camping here, at some point they have some new employees running the place. First I read the rules about flags...no problem, I'm a Firefighter so under my US Flag, I flew a Firefighter flag...nothing offensive at all....Here came a gut named Doug, and he told me I had to take my Firefihtet flag down! Never in my life have I heard that displaying a Firefighter flag was offensive! As I look around I see Coors Light, a F#@$! BIDEN flag and others...but I can't support my Firefighter brothers? What a disgrace this place is! Then where is what was supposed to be the "Camp Host" is a daily part site for the employees there..One night they were playing a movie on a sheet they rigged up. The movie was at least Rated R and quite a bit of nudity displaying. Our sites had quite a few kids ages 10 to 14. Pretty disrespectful! The last night we were there, the party site literally had a mini burning man event. They lit some sort of statue that almost burnt thier Breaking Bad lookin RV they had there..Many questionable individuals arrived to the party there throughout the evening. The People working the store are quite rude considering the amount of money our group spent there daily with out kids for candy and anything else..At one point, we had our kids go grab some bags of ice. They came back with 1 too many bags of ice, supposed to be 6 and they grabbed 7...A young man literally ran to out sire and accused the kids of stealing ice! Like we would really try to steal ice...Not hey must of been some confusion, you grabbed one too many bags...To call our kids thieves, get outta here! That place will be run to the ground with thier current employee situation...pretty sad! read more
