I'm a fan of beaches, and Sand Dollar Beach is pretty dang rad (and directly across from the campground)!

Dogs love this place.

Ear plugs if you're a light sleeper (lots of kids and group camp sites can get rowdy). Also, there are fire pits and grills in case that helps dictate what goes on your menu!

One of my favorite camp sites. So much to explore. This section of coast is just amazing. Attendant was super nice. Campground was full, but he let me park my motorcycle in the overflow, and camp in the bicycle area.

Plaksett campground is awesome because it's right across from a huge beautiful beach! Which is some of the only beach access on the big sur coast. Although this campground can be crowded, it has good vibes and I've been many times.

Report from your shirtless host on San Simeon State Park

I hope you well have a change to stay @ SS. S.P.. This park is just 5 miles south of Hearst Castle.
Iam here now and I was so surprised that the showers and bathroom were still closed. It been 2 years now I thought they would be open by now. The dump station is still open ( glad for that ). I took a ride to Washburn campground-what a bone jaring experience (on a unpave road)
But the wildlife is an unforgettable experience. The park has foot trails though out the park and breathtakeing beaches.
This park is neat & clean and well taken care of.
I do hate using chemical toilets. That give the park a dumpy and unclean look.

Report from your shirtless host on the town of Cambria
If you camping any place close to Cambria make this town your # 1 stop off. Cambria has shops and Good food. Fill your gas tank before you get here. Gas is hi.
The board walk on moonstone Beach is about 2 miles long. This is one of the nicest board walks I have seen in long time.
In the relaxed atmosphere you can reconnect, rejuvenate and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The wild and pristine environment make it a joy to walk this trail.
What ever you do don't forget the elephant seals. But remember that the seals are wild. They well defend and be aggressive around there pups.
Take the family camping and see the joy in there face.
