Potable water were by each site maybe two sites per faucet. 138 is furthest from the entrance about 0.7 miles from the camp site entrance. $10 for wood bundle which you buy by the campsite entrance. A lovely camping weekend. Pretty private because the redwood trees block the view between sites and we were lucky that the neighboring sites were empty most of the weekend.

There's a little loop path that has little signs about Redwood trees, the birds nearby and the fun facts.

Perfect for photography, lounging around, picnics but not swimming so much. Tides seem rough and there's lots of rocks here. The hike back uphill was a hard one if you're out of shape like me. The locals did it no problem though !

I don't often review campgrounds but so many people commented on specific sites and no one…read morecommented on Site 11, which is the one I booked this weekend so here you go future bookers: We were able to fit two single backpacking tents and two larger two person tents but both the official tent spot and our unofficial spot had notable, but tolerable slopes as noted multiple times in reviews. There is a parking spot for site 11 across the campground road near a pit toilet. Flush toilets are located on the other side of the parking lot, which is right next to site 10. Site 10 seemed like it had a nice lake view. You can see the lake through the trees from site 11. There are no bear boxes! You store food and toiletries in your car at night. Wing wildlife included mosquitoes (light), yellow jackets (heaviest mid morning), and very loud cicadas. My ears were ringing like I went to a loud concert. I have to assume that's seasonal. There's a "boat launch" past the flush toilets near the tent cabins that was nice for setting up a few camp chairs and entering the water in floaties. There were a few other beaches further on but they were full. There was a kerfuffle over an inflatable kayak while we were there so keep an eye on your things! The lake was shockingly not ice cold like many CA lakes I've been in but it was also 100 degrees out. We stayed in for hours. So nice! Intimate campground with sloped sites and nice lake access- overall a pleasant stay!

The campsite is great, but I had a poor experience…read more My group had one too many vehicles for a single campsite. 4 motorcycles and 1 car. That's fine, we were happy to abide by their policy, so our only option was to purchase another campsite for the sole purpose of parking the extra vehicle(s). We had booked for 2 nights and when we paid for the 2nd site, we unfortunately didn't notice that they only charged for one night, which apparently their policy for non-reservation sites is only one night, which they didn't tell us nor did they warn us to check out from the 2nd site by noon. We ended up getting two $71.50 parking citations for failing to remove our vehicles from the campsite by checkout time (noon). When I spoke with the staff regarding the misunderstanding and how we obviously intended to pay for 2 nights at the 2nd site, the same duration as our initial reservation, one staff member in particular had a very poor attitude even though we were being very polite and just trying to work with them and their policies.

Great place to spend the day on the beach, rock hunting, camping, or exploring trails!…read more Hands down one of my favorite places in northern California to spend a day on the beach. If you're looking for a dip in the ocean this is not the spot for you, as the waves are pretty big and can be dangerous. As for rock collecting are some beautiful jaspers, agates, jade, and others. There's also a lot of cool driftwood, although you're not supposed to collect it. This visit was the first time I explored some of the trails, which were super cool and worth it. Wedding rock is a must see! I'd love to stay in one of the small cabins or dry camp here one day, but for a small fee of I believe $8 you can spend the day here. I highly recommend it!

The other review is correct, the campground is completely flat with no bushes or other obstructions between you and your neighbors.
