Campground is terrible because the camping spaces are too close together, creating tension between campers, and the camping area is covered by trees, making it hard to find without a GPS, especially with the large park nearby, which you will get lost in. The bathrooms are terrible; there are no paper toilet seat covers and the toilet paper is stacked and doesn’t roll well. The toilets have no lids, so you have to flush it with the bowl exposed, spreading bacteria. The bathrooms do not have soap, either. The vents make the sounds echo so everyone can hear what you’re doing in there. The large collected campsite makes it a long hike for people in the middle of the campground. Adequate for birding, but not for staying overnight.
Feels like camping in a parking lot.
Beautiful campground close to the bay. Not much privacy or anything but easy access and all the basic amenities are available.
Showers take tokens, but they are pretty well kept and clean. Big campground with lots of RVs and such stacked close to each other . Walking distance to town.
+ Campgrounds is a stone's throw from the marina. This is especially great if you enjoy being by the water. A lot of campers bring their own kayaks, canoes, SUP boards, etc.
+ Less than 2 miles from the Embarcadero where there are shops, restaurants, bars, cafes, boat tours, and water equipment rentals. It's a beautiful walk, an easy bike ride, and a quick drive into town. Best part, FREE PARKING everywhere! Also, plenty of public restrooms that are relatively clean.
+ Sites are very close together and not very spacious or private. Each campsite comes with parking for 1 car, a charcoal BBQ grill, a firepit, bear box, and picnic table.
+ The majority of campers here are older, retired RV campers so the campgrounds are well-kempt
Love this campground, spots are close together and out in the open but a quick escape right next to the water is worth it.
Sites are tiny, so make sure you book a couple of spots if you are camping with more than two people. Sites are usually booked, so make sure to book in advance. Great location to the town, and marina!
This is a great "traditional" campground that gives you access to surfing the rock and fishing in the harbor all by yourself. There's a lovely nature walk across from the campsite and close proximity to cafes about 10 minutes away by car or less.
Find a site where the turkey vultures don't roost - it can get ugly!
