This is a first come, first served park and I called ahead to confirm availability for our 40 footer and the park ranger said he would block off a site for me. There was plenty of room when we arrived as most campers stayed only one night and on their way they went. We arrived here on August 16 for 2 nights after a very slow and tedious cruise through the mountains on highway 271 coming from the north. This was 20 miles of S curves around the mountains on very narrow lanes. While they did not recommend vehicles over 32 feet, it is usually because a few dangerous turns. We must have had 50 blind curves and I would not recommend travel from this direction with a 40 footer with auto in tow. That said, once we arrived we enjoyed our site with a spectacular view of the ocean on top of a cliff which was in the process of falling down. There was a path to the beach from our campground. The campground offered a pit toilet, water faucet for the park and each site had a fire pit and concrete picnic table. Just dry camping and the crashing of the waves. No cell service or over the air TV. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful sunsets. We paid $66 for 2 nights which included a $2 discount per night for senior citizens at California State Parks. I rate this park P****.
We had campfires both nights and had a group of 5 motorcyclists join us one night who were riding dirt bikes along the beaches off dirt roads. Buddy went for several walks along the beach and we hiked about one mile to another campground which was connected to this park. We had to be careful as the hillside was caving in along our path. It was probably 100 foot drop to the rocks, sand, and ocean below. We visited Glass Beach in Fort Bragg one day and Aggie collected some of the colored glass in the sand. Aggie also collected some smooth sanded rocks to paint with Lindsey when we return home.
