We stay in Pismo often but this is our first time getting into North campground. It's the best around if you don't need hookups. Short walk or bike ride to pier area and shops. The only con to this place is you have to book 6 months in advance if you want a weekend spot but that's all California public campgrounds anymore. read more

We spent the weekend camping at Pismo Beach's North Beach Campground, and it was such a great experience! The campground itself is beautiful. The sites are open and spacious, each equipped with a picnic table and fire pit. There aren't many trees for shade, so it's a good idea to bring a tarp or canopy if you plan to stay at your site during the day. We stayed at Site #11, which has pull-through parking that can accommodate up to two vehicles, including an RV. It's tucked near some trees and shrubbery and is only a short walk to the beach. Beach access is easy from all sites, and you can hear the ocean from anywhere in the campground... it almost acts like white noise at night. It's also just a short walk to the Monarch Butterfly Grove and Meadow Creek Trail. The rangers and camp host were really nice, too. The restrooms are large, and the showers are clean and well kept, thanks to daily maintenance. Showers require tokens, and luckily the token machines are available at select restrooms throughout the campground. Overall, we'd definitely come back! read more

I stayed at campsite #36 which is right across one of the bathrooms and in between 2 water spigots. From what I can see, the campsites are generally spaced far apart from one another which is good for privacy despite the lack of trees around. My site had 1 picnic table and 1 fire pit. No animal box because the only animals around (so far) are birds and squirrels which will definitely eat your food if left unsupervised for long periods. Showers and bathrooms are well maintained and clean and are all single occupancy (ex: just 1 toilet per "room"). The campground was full but I never had any issues with the bathrooms and showers being full. No paper towels or soap provided, so be sure to bring your own. Shower water heats up very quickly and stay hot which is great. FYI the showers don't accept quarters. You'll need to trade bills for CA State Park shower tokens. Given the campground is next to the beach, plan appropriately for the strong winds and dewy mornings. Family friendly and walking distance to the water and other attractions. Good for large groups but keep in mind there is a 2 car maximum for most sites though you can add in an extra car for $5 more if space allows. There was a ranger at the gate when I drove in, but my friends said nobody was there when they came, so the safety/security of the place is unknown. Overall, no major complaints about this campground. I would come again. read more

Very nice and relaxing camp ground close to the beach. Will fit more than the allowed person per spot. A big campground not only for tent but also for RV's, they also have a dump site in there. Nice and clean restrooms. Will definitely recommend. read more

Pismo, North Beach Campground, Pismo Beach, California - April 7-11, 2025 We've been to Pismo Beach many times in our motorhome. We've always stayed at the RV campground just next to the State Beach Campground. I have to say I like the State Beach Campground quite a bit better even though it doesn't have electric or water or sewer hookups. The spaces are very spacious with lots of green lawn and trees and bushes here and there, and the park is verywell-maintained. There is a short walk to the beach, and the beach itself is stellar. They do have a dump station if you need to dump your tanks or refill your water. We were able to go a full five days without needing to do that. They have nice well-maintained bathrooms and showers. You pay with a token (two for one dollar), and get you two minutes in the shower per token. They have fire pits and picnic tables. Camp host near our site was very friendly and the park staff were friendly and seem to be maintaining the park very well. read more

North Beach Campground - Campgrounds Near Me - Pismo Beach Ca, California

Area, very quiet, clean bathrooms. Access to the beach.. the staff keeps it clean. No complaints.

First time at this NB Pismo campsite, we've never camped somewhere with NO TREES, this was not the best site bc we only brought a tent, we figured there would be 1 or 2 trees to give us shade or have a place to hang our wet towels and suits but no. Everyday the bathrooms and showers were cleaned and maintained, they also have recycle, green/food and large trash bins to sort your waste. The beach is just over the dunes, a short walk to a beautiful and clean beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful, we enjoyed staying here most of the time, but the state park needs to plant more trees on these barren sites. Bring dollar bills to get shower tokens, warm blankets as well as sleeping bags for the cool nights, or just bring an RV, our stay would've been better with one read more

My sister and I camped here and enjoyed the fact that we were so close to the beach. But that we could also access the Monarch Grove from the campground. At the time that we went rain and wind was in the forecast. Although the Little Guy teardrop trailer was in tow I made sure to bring a canopy with sides (basically a tent, when set up) to be able to sit outside of the trailer. Site #41- I never complain with a pull-thru sight! Although I am getting pretty good at backing up with a trailer this just makes life easier. Also, being on a paved surface when you have wet weather makes hitching up mess and pain free (speaking for myself). The pull-thru is spacious. The area where we pitched our canopy were flanked with a picnic table with a fire pit nearby. The restroom/showers were not too far from either side of us. It made it nice, because if one was being cleaned and serviced you could go to the other building. Both buildings are nicely lit up during the evening hours. May not be ideal if you are staying in a tent nearby. Not all of the stalls/showers were open during the week, but once the weekend came all were available to use. Showers are operable with tokens, which the token machine was available at certain buildings. From our site you have access to the beach and Monarch Grove within hundreds of feet. The grounds were well taken care of and you had rangers frequently driving by. Near our site a camp host was close by. I like how the sites are spaced out giving you some privacy but could still enjoy the other campers enjoying the outdoors. My sister was able to enjoy some great food at nearby restaurants, and enjoy some cinnamon rolls at Old West Cinnamon Rolls. There could be a long wait so go early. I would definitely camp here again! read more

Site 81 was close to perfect. Neighboring sites was spaced enough keeping the experience private for the most part. It beats the commercial RV park next door where I stayed a few years ago. Inconsiderates were walking through our site as well as our neighbors in efforts to take a shortcut to the beach. Yes, it's a public campground but for the days we reserved it's temporarily ours. There is a reason walkways exist. Be considered folks! Dump station had a 10 dollar fee and credit cards are accepted. These fees are becoming standard these days in state parks. I'm not a fan of it. However, given the fee the dump station appears to be maintained so it was worth it. During our stay, I've walked the beach for a mile or so to experience their local eateries. That alone was a plus. There wasn't a need to drive. read more

Yum! Went early and it wasn't crowded. I've been here when you can't even hear yourself it's so packed so this was nice.

I am not a camper. I live 10 miles away in Arroyo Grande. I walk through the campgound on a daily basis as part of my exercise rountine. I have talked to many campers at various times of the year and all agreed that it is probably one of the best campgrounds in the Country. It is like camping on a golf course. You have tons of space. It is exceptionally well maintained. There is noise toward the back of the campground. It is the Ocean just over a sand dune. The beach is 15 miles long. Dogs are welcome. There is a real 9 hole golf course a few blocks away and of course downtown classic California beach town Pismo Beach is a short walk. They do not have hookups or electricy on the premises but you see big rigs and tent campers. The price I believe goes from $27-$45 with a senior discount (depends on time of year, make your reservations 6 months in advance or more). They have a dump station. (You can stay on the other side of the fence, Pismo Coast Village and have hook ups, a small swimming pool, camp store and resturant. The campers have about 20 feet of space between large campers. It is like being in a sardine can. They charge $100 a night, maybe more. I don't believe they allow tents. Go to the store and dozens of resturants in nereby Pismo. Forget the pool and take your chances in the ocean (cold)). If your into the butter flies the grove backs up to the campground. Check for dates they are there. As far as the employees are concerned at the State Campground maybe some are cranky but I never noticed anything. There is an onsite manager to take care of issues. If they tell you that you are making too much noise or violating polices YOU ARE. Believe me no one is anxious to get involed in telling people what to do. It's a lay back area. Plus, the State Park Rangers drive though a few times a day and at night. If there has been substantial rain in the week before you arrive they may close the campground because it is on a flood plain. I was there on several days after our 2" rain. The campground was flooded but only the lowest lying areas. Lots of little "lakes" that the ducks found accomodating. Flood did not get up to more than a few camping sites. So far this year, rain but not enough for closures. The water usual perculates into the ground pretty fast. If you have stuck it out and read my entire review here is a bonus. If you have a problem you can't resolve with the onsite emplyees Kevin Pearce is the Chief Ranger off site in Pismo Beach. He runs the entire Oceno State Park. He will get the email if it is Monday-Friday during working hours. Otherwise, he has the info and will get back to you: Kevin.Pearce@parks.ca.gov. If you are a name dropper that is the name to drop. read more

We had a great time, the campgrounds are big and spacious. Majority of the sites are pull thru. They are struck on 2 vehicles limit. Any extras cars can park outside near the entrance on the street. Plenty of showers and restrooms, you can also walk to the beach. Plenty to do around the city. Also if you camp here you can drive on the océano dunes, they waive the fee with your campsite permit on the windshield. read more

I love the fact that you have plenty of space and that t is fairly quiet. The Rangers have always been

This was my first time camping by the beach so I wasn't sure what to expect. Booked it last minute on reservecalifornia which was easy enough. The weather looked like it was going to be cold at night, so I brought a bunch of blankets. As we rolled up to the kiosk, the man asked us if it was our first time and told us "have fun!" as we drove away. That was nice. So we started driving to find our spot, and realized it is like a gigantic park, with paved roads and parking spots and grass for the tent, picnic table, and fire ring. There weren't as many trees as I would've liked, and we had a center spot (92) and the lack of privacy was kind of meh, just this huge open space of grass. You could see everybody and everybody could see you. Well on the other hand, the lack of privacy was good because we saw people setting up their tents and putting covers over them. What was that all about? We had better do it too, we thought. Well good thing, because around midnight, it started raining. This gentle drizzle. Is this common in these parts? I have no idea. Anyway, our tarp covered most of our tent so we mostly stayed dry, but it was startling for sure. You can not see the beach from the campsite but you can kind of hear the ocean in the middle of the night when things finally got quiet. The grass did help make the ground less hard to sleep on too. Compared to camping in the woods, the nice thing is there aren't tons of bugs vying to get your food. It wasn't the most peaceful or beautiful place by any means, the family next to us was having epic arguments over a game they were playing and I could hear everything. Except I couldn't figure out what game they were playing. The picnic table was unfortunately in a dirty state. Next time I would bring a table cloth. In the morning we went to go check out the butterfly grove which is like a hop and a skip away. Nice place for a morning walk. But there were no butterflies yet, the season is Nov-Feb per sign. Bathrooms were decently clean, flushing toilets and well-lit. read more

This campground recently opened up after flooding. If you get the right spot, it's excellent. The sites are well-spaced out, and there's enough bathrooms (showers too) and dumpsters within walking distance of every site. The beach is just beyond the dunes, so it does get really dewy at night and chilly.. smart to pack many layers and warm sleeping bags for this campground. The one strange thing is there's lots of large rigs here that setup as though they are here for a week, becuase they're with their families and travelling in an RV. It feels a little weird to be a small tent in the middle of this RV park, essentially. Also, it's very family-friendly, so you'll be judged if you're a non-family group. For example, our group of friends in our 20s/30s had rented 4 sites all adjacent to each other and the ranger came over around 10:30pm and requested our group of 23 divide back up and socialize on our respective sites (8 people per site). We thought that was a bit ridiculous as there were tons of other campsites with groups larger than 8. It just depends on the nature of your party, I guess. read more

Car glamping at its finest! My reasons for loving this campground are three fold: 1 - short walk to the beach 2 - flushing toilets with ample toilet paper! 3 - showers This campground is well maintained. They come to clean the bathrooms daily. There are large campsites that hold 3 vehicles and your neighbors aren't close enough to hear you snore. To add, its all about - location, location, location! The beach is a hop, skip and a jump away. If you wanted to you can walk to Pismo Beach Pier for dining or shopping. The Pismo Dunes with rental companies are a 5 minute drive away. We've camped here twice and enjoyed it both times. We will be back! Quick Tips *Campsites hold 3 cars but only 2 cars come with free parking. The 3rd car has to pay $5 per day. They also have free over flow parking at the front of the campground. *Bring cash for the showers! There is a machine that dispenses tokens. $1 token for 2 minutes of shower. The showers weren't too bad at all, a very comfortable temperature. *You can go fishing & clamming on Pismo Beach. Make sure you get the proper licenses. I read you can get them at Kmart. read more

They don't enforce the rules here. We had a loud party of about 20 people next to us. We complained multiple times to the camp host, even after quiet hours they were blasting music and swearing. The rules say no more then 8 people to a site and that the noise you make shouldn't be loud enough to leave your campground regardless of what time of the day it is, but these people didn't care. It totally ruined our trip. This is reflective of the campground because the rules were not enforced with these people for some reason. I go camping to be in nature and escape. I don't want to listen to loud music and drunk loud people swearing and yelling. I hope your experience is different here. read more

Beautiful campground in a great location, but sadly it's filled with thieves. We had over $500 worth of stuff stolen, and the things stolen were too big and heavy to be taken by foot. So the ranger station at the front isn't bothering to stop random cars from entering the campground and taking your things. We told the rangers and they didn't care. The camp host said she's never seen so much stealing at a campground and would never be coming back. If you stay here, don't leave anything of value out in the open or it won't be there when you come back. read more

We LOVE this campground, we keep coming back every year. There is lots of space per each campground which is so nice. Bathrooms are kept clean and they have showers. You can walk down to the beach from the campgrounds and there are even lagoons when the tide goes out and you can see birds. Very beautiful and dog friendly! read more

This was my family's first time coming to Pismo to camp. Upon arrival we stopped at the check-in stand like we would do at any other camp site we've stayed at. This old lady was just staring from the stand and pointed at a piece of paper stapled to the stand as if we could read it from our car. (they had an employee truck blocking the first drive lane so we were on the far side) This old man came and said "we're done here. I'm all done for the day" Like are you done with your job? What do you mean you're done ? Then he turned his back and walked away. Are we just suppose to drive through and find our site? I think both of the employees need to learn some service skills and if not then maybe retire. Pismo is a beautiful place but this campsite can use some better employees that work at the gate. S/o to the gentleman who keeps up the restrooms he was the only pleasant employee to speak too. read more

Our recent trip to North Beach (Pismo) was not our first. We booked our sites 6 months in advance. We were only able to get 2 nights. A month or so later, I was lucky enough to pick up a cancellation and extended our stay to 4 nights, but we did have to move campsites. The Ranger told us we had to leave by noon from our first reservation and not check into the second site until after 2pm. That's the rules. Well, on the day of the move there was another ranger there and he was very nice. Since the campers in our new site had already left, he allowed us to move before noon. Ironically, lot's of empty spots and nobody moved into our old/first spot. They are pretty strict on the rules*, ask for ID upon entry, including any passes you might be using. They do limit the 'vehicles' to 2 per site. That includes truck and trailer. So, when my husband arrived later, he had to park in overflow parking and carry all his stuff to the campsite (you can't even drive in to drop off). The sites are well spaced out, a lot of pull through sites, which we found nice. The restrooms/showers were well located, clean and maintained. We drove our truck and then our SUV down on the beach from North Beach down to the exit near Oceano. Nice little ride. The water was cold at this time of year, and not many people in the water, but we really enjoyed the walks on the beach and the EPIC sunsets. Wood for fires is available from the hosts at $8 a bundle, but at a nearby store for 2/$4.99. Many things to do both at the campground and in the nearby city. Highly recommend you have at least one meal at nearby Juan's Mexican Restaurant. Indoor dining is now open and the food is AMAZING!! Great campground and area for bicycle riding, although not allowed on the walking path. The butterfly migration was not in season, so no butterflies. :( My only complaints, and it didn't really affect me, has to do with the # of people per site. The rules indicate just 8 people per site. I counted 42 people on one site, with 2 vehicles, 10 EZups and 14 tents!!! It was NOT a group site, either. So, enforcing all the other rules but allowing 42 people on one site!!! WOW. read more

This was our 2nd time camping here this year and both times the experience was wonderful. People are very friendly, mindful, and the campground is very clean. The bathrooms and showers are very clean and gets cleaned everyday. You do have to pay to shower there but it's not bad because I'm pretty sure that the money goes to the maintenance. The beach is within walking distance which is a BIG PLUS! Other than that, we had a great time and definitely will be coming back again. read more

I extremely enjoyed this campgrounds! Super close to everything. Downtown Pismo Area is about a mile from the site and totally recommend walking because parking in that area aside from the traffic is terrible! Did you forget something? 7/11 is about a 10 minute walk so you can stock up on all those items you forgot, or to grab those snacks you need. The beach is a short walk away. At night you can hear the peacefulness and waves crashing ashore. We highly enjoyed that short walk carrying all of our beach necessities! Bathrooms and showers were cleaned on a daily! Showers also had warm water which was fantastic! Why the 4 stars, well we followed camp rules, only 2 tents per site and 2 cars. Then there were those camp sites that had 3 and 4 cars, and some with about 10 tents on their site. I'll leave you to imagine all the noise and craziness that came with it! One night a gentleman got so drunk and out of control he was yelling and out of hand, woke me up and scared me. It would be nice if they enforced the rules! Aside from that we will be back to enjoy another great long weekend of camping! read more

Camped here for the first time 3/16 with my husband. We reserved spot 73 because it was right next to the restroom. Reserving online was easy and the campgrounds are walking distance to the beach. The ranger upfront was super nice and gave us directions. There is a fire pit and you can buy firewood multiple places in town. The land was super marshy so you couldn't really walk around on the grass but it was really pretty at sunset. Only reason it was not 5 stars is that out of the 3 bathrooms next to us all of them were locked except one. And even though there was only one restroom the 5 people sleeping the in the Uhaul next to us used it to do drugs in. Once I was finally able to use the restroom there was a broken dope pipe and broken glass all over the floor. My husband had some words with them and we went to bed. When I woke up to use the restroom in the morning one of them was in there again. Defeats getting a spot next to the restrooms if you can't use them. But besides that this place is nice and worth giving a second shot. I just hope the druggies aren't a common occurrence. read more

We showed up with a big ol group and we had reservations for 3 sites and wanted good ones that were next to each other. We were afraid that it was an idea that wouldn't pan out as planned. We showed up way early and talked to the person at check-in. Dude set us up with some nice sites but told us that if we found something we liked better to just let him know and he would switch them. The sites he gave us were right across from the camp hosts so we fixed that because we no one likes to be right across the road from your parents. The Campsites were clean and well kept. Each site is a good size and has grass. We threw around a football and frisbees. The fire pits aren't huge but it did the trick. The picnic tables are chained to the ground which makes it hard to move them around. Hint: It's not impossible to move them around with the right tools. The beach is a short walk over the dunes and wasn't crowded at all. The pier is walking distance, about 30 minutes. The bathrooms and showers were pretty clean for a campground. And as long as we can get reservations we will definitely be back. read more

North Beach Campground - Site #48, wish it was closer to beach. - Campgrounds Near Me - Pismo Beach Ca, California

This is the only place I will reserve camping when I'm in Pismo for ATVing. It's literally down the street. The campground is literally walking distance from the beach and the sites are great. They are spacious and can actually fit 3 cars. We have a 35 feet 5th wheel and a 2500 Full bed Chevy. And it fits! Reserve 6 months in advance as this place gets booked fast. I usually go with a large group and tend to get sites together so no one complains when we are together enjoying nature and company. The camp host is wonderful here. They come around and patrol to make sure everyone is situated and help with any issues. Their check in is the time they state. We got in early from the Bay and couldn't check in till after 1 pm. read more

My family's first camping experience (boys age 7, 5, 3) for three nights. I have gone camping before but with seasoned guys. Luckily, we went with other friends that have kids. They were experienced which was super helpful! We had campsite 32. Such a big lot. No shade or big tree coverage would be the only downside. Beware of hornets nest/hives in the grass. We were paranoid that we bought was traps for our little visitors/friends. Some of the kids in our party were stung. We were about 1.5 campsite lengths away from the restrooms. Remember, shower tokens are 50 cents each (warm water 2 minute) and they only take dollar bills and only available as certain restrooms. Our beach access was pretty good. A good first experience for us. The staff workers when checking in are super patient and knowledgeable. Not bad for a first time experience. Please note, if you are flexible on dates and don't want to try and get a permit months in advance, we did notice a bunch of empty campsites. Probably a lot of last minute cancellations. read more

I love to go to Pismo, I love this campground And it's not the first time for me here but the lady who works at the entrance is pretty rude and very slow She is taking forever to get done with registering the cars No one there to help her especially in such a day (4th of July) I'm not the only one who complained about it but all my friends who came in the same time had the same complain as well I thought to say something about it to make other people to have a better experience than what I had Other than that it's a nice camping ground very close to the beach and lots of fun as you can easily walk to the beach and from the other side it's a walking distance to the butterfly groove It's very nice out here read more

I have not been camping in AGES. We stayed in space 37 near the center of the park in close proximity of the restrooms. I have my eye on other spaces for any future trips we make back. There is running water and access to bathrooms and showers. The park is also close to downtown Pismo and Arroyo Grande where you can go for more supplies so you do not have to overbuy before you arrive. The best thing about this campground was that it was family friendly and a stone's throw to the beach which we visited 4 out of our 7 days there. The weather was a respite from the 110 we were experiencing before our jaunt but it is good to be home. There are plenty of birds and ground squirrels around so prepare accordingly. We kept all of our food items in coolers that we placed in the car. Cool place but now I am thinking of something a little bit closer. (Refugio, McGrath or Carpinteria?) read more

We are staying in our RV next door at the Pismo Coast RV Resort. When we were riding our bikes to the Monarch Butterfly Cove, we passed through the North Beach campground. The North Beach campground is everything that the Pismo Coast RV Resort is not - it is rustic, natural, has lots of trees, grass, hiking trails, and direct access to the Monarch Butterfly Cove. There are NO Hook-ups here. You also won't find any type of services as there is only a ranger booth at the entrance so you won't find a store or rentals onsite. It is set-up for tent camping but RVs are welcome here. I noticed many RVs using generators. The restrooms are clean and they have private showers too. What we really liked about this campsite is the direct access to the beach and the quiet, laid-back feel. The price is right at a flat $25 per night. We ended up going back the next day to walk the trails leading to the beach and check out the neat trees, logs, and amphitheater located between the campsites and the beach. The campground has a regular security patrol that watches what's going on. The campsites were mostly empty but of who was there most looked like short-term vacationers. We saw no homeless here as other Yelpers previously reported were there in the past. read more

Nice place, not to far from the water. The customer service was horrible. The host has no people skills. He approached us at 10:01 stating we were being too loud and the people next to us complained about it. when he was told we also had that area reserved he began to yell at us to turn off our lights. Almost every trailer in the area has their porch lights on but hey we didn't want any problems so we sat in complete darkness for a couple of hours. The next day our children were rinsing their beach finds in the tub next to the host's trailer and he walked up to them and snatched the bucket from the kids and walked away. Our daughter called us upset stating some man snatched the bucket from her hand l. She pointed me in the direction of the host so I went to speak with him and asked what was he issue he states the bucket was for the birds. I asked if he explained that to the children and he said no I just snatched the bucket and walked away. I have it on a recording. Lastly we were buying pallets in our own firepit for two days when we went to get more pallets we were told we couldn't bring them in because they weren't treated. I told the gal at the front we weren't building a fence we were building a fire. She refused to allow us to enter so I asked for the park ranger but he states per section code blah blah blah we couldn't use the pallets. I couldn't find the section code that referenced the use of pallets. Anywho if you decide to reserve her stay away from spot 15 where the host stays and spot 41 & 43 which is right across from the host. read more

We love camping here especially now that they seem to have gotten the homeless under control. We stayed in site 14 across from the bathrooms and camp host. One car only. Rules are enforced. Come at 2 leave by 12. Tokens for shower. Bathrooms cleaned daily. Everyone in their RVs seem to have 2-3 dogs that they don't pick up after. We are tent campers and got dog poo all over our bedding because we didn't see the puddle of doggie diarrhea nestled in the grass. I saw all these people NOT pick up after their pooches. Please have mercy on tent campers and pick up after your pets! read more

I absolutely loved my stay here and will definitely be back! It's super close to town and right next to the beach. Bathrooms were very clean, but what I liked most about them is that each bathroom is an individual room. It's nice not to have to share bathrooms with multiple people. The campsites are grassy which is a nice change from other campsites where you are sleeping on dirt. Everyone was very friendly and family oriented. Pretty much everyone went to bed around 9:00pm which was great. Camp Rangers and staff were very nice and helpful. I can't wait to come back! read more

I used to live in Pismo. The last two years I've gone back to camp in the summer time because I love it there so much. But the last three nights of our 7 night trip aug 2019 were completely awful. Apparently this campsite has no limit on number of tents or people per site. Suddenly. Before we know it. About 30 feet away from our tent. We counted 15 new tents that had popped up between three sites. About 20 children under 7 And many adults. It was a f-ing amusment park from then on out. We were given no personal space from these campers. The parents were not paying attention to their children and I almost felt like I had to keep an eye on some of the little ones who were just wondering around with no supervision as little as 3 years old. So many psychos in this world and these kids were just all over the place. I initially thought it was the kids who were going to make my trip miserable. Wrong. They went to bed about 10. Which was reasonable. But the irresponsible adults stayed up until 2am playing loud music and getting drunk. I felt like they were sitting right outside my tent yelling in my ear. Two different times I heard them get talked to by the camp host. I could no longer hear the quietness from the outside world or hear the ocean. Felt like I was at Woodstock. Not only that. But for our area of the campsite. There were three toilets available. So once they showed up, three bathrooms had to be shared with probably 150-200 people total. It was a s*** show, pun intended. These fools, specifically the female adults who needed to be all dolled up for camping, took huge bags in with them to brush their teeth, do their makeup and hair, change their clothes, and would bring their kids in with them. 10 people waiting in line at one point. Change in your f-ing tent. Sit in your car and use the mirror for your makeup. Get a cup of water and brush your teeth at a bush. I mean. Come in. Wtf. With no tent limits per site you are at risk for being next to a concert of drunk adults singing salt n pepper songs at 2 in the morning. Pick a spot on the outer edge. Otherwise you are trapped in the middle with risk of being surrounded with no privacy. Otherwise. Everything else was great read more
