    I go here to read every once in a while. Small, quiet park with a cool little stream. Nothing spectacular, just a nice park.

The park's pure natural setting and serene ambience make it a great place to unwind and clear one's mind. Its year-round upkeep has kept it in excellent condition, making it well worth a visit in any season. I would strongly recommend it to anyone searching for a memorable outdoor adventure.

    We were passing through after visiting Olympic Park and looking for a hiking spot in the area. Lake…read moreSylvia seemed like a possibility so we stopped off last Sunday around 10am. There were a few hikers there, but otherwise mostly those preparing to fish. We didn't visit the camping section, but they've got a decent sized day-use area with a good amount of parking, tables, and restrooms. We took the forest loop trail that leads from the lake along the stream through the forest and back around to the day-use, about 2 1/2 miles. There are sections of the trail that are simply gorgeous, and other parts not quite as pretty. But the trail is pretty fun, ups and downs, winding with steps and bridges. While the path is completely passable right now, it was very muddy in many places. A bit precarious at times, as some of the soupiest, slickest spots happened to be on inclines and declines. You'll definitely need waterproof shoes and prepare to get dirty, but Sylvia is good for a quick hike. They've got some interesting educational info along the trail too...and the lake has a very peaceful feeling.

As I rode past the K&M office, I encountered Bruce Atiken, the husband of the park manager, Nancy Aitken. Mr.Aitkens yelled, "Slow down, slow down," and stopped me near the office, Aitken then proceeded at aggressively and got in my face, he then started yelling again, that I was exceeding the speed limit while operating my electric scooter. During the encounter, Bruce Aitken and Nancy Aitken raised their voices and continued yelling at me. I asked both individuals to de-escalate the situation and remain professional; however, they continued yelling. I then asked if they could articulate or provide an estimate of how fast they believed I was traveling on my electricscooter that goes nor more then mabey 13 miles per hr and im 250 pound man. They did not answer my question and continued telling me to "slow down." At that point, I chose to end the interaction by riding away from the area to avoid any further escalation. No further contact or issues occurred following the incident. This statement is a true and accurate summary of the events as I observed them on the above date and time. **Reporting Party:** John Boucher **Date:** June 29, 2026 Km Travel inn resort needs to look into the park manger. These two elderly people are unhinged and unethical, neither of them have perfesionallism or nor how to entract with public or guest of the resort. Other guest that live here state they dont fill comfortable around the Aitkens.

My only complaint about this park is the day use area is not easily found. We did not camp here, but ended up driving through both campgrounds trying to figure out where to park. There is a sign pointing to beach access, but until you go down that road, you don't know it's part of the park.

On the coast with some winding little trails under the trees and through the sand, the day use area and one row of campground sites were open. We decided to take the trails on a short leg-stretcher just to see what Twin Harbors was all about. Up and over the sandy dunes and around muddy patches we weaved for a mile or so, and back through the campground to the van. The beaches were empty, a few campers staying overnight, and a handful of cars coming and going from day use. It felt pretty peaceful at Twin Harbors, we would've happily grabbed a site for a night if we weren't heading home. Probably wouldn't be more to do here for more than one night, but it's a low-key spot for a stopover or picnic.

Every site has a variety of good points. Joy, who worked daily in the park office was incredibly friendly and helpful. She assisted us when there was an opportunity to move to another site for electricity. The beach access is ADA accommodating, and downtown Pacific Beach is within walking distance. This portion of the shore is lovely. We will be back. Take note that on a busy weekends, there will be experienced RVers using their generators in non-hook-up sites:) My husband wants me to provide a less glowing report, as he is concerned you all will show up.

It borders on decent in the off season when deserted, if you can overlook all the run down and abandoned structures surrounding it. But in season it is a true trailer park with all the fixings! On my last visit in July, I was taking photos for the sales ad for my property -- trying to find anything of interest that might lure a potential buyer. During this "adventure," I was accosted by a group of locals who told me to go f*** myself for photographing and, 25 mins later, by another woman who thought I was code enforcement looking to "get her again." I was so happy when I convinced some rose-colored glasses vacationer to buy my 8-year mistake. The only reason I would ever return to this park or this town would be if I lost everything, became an addict, and wanted to live with those who considered that high living. That's really the only notable thing about this place -- just how unimaginably bad it is!
