Bay Campground is one of three at Manresa State Beach. Together, all three campgrounds have 64 campsites. All of the campsites are walk-in campsites, which can be a plus for some and a minus for others! Regardless, Bay Camp is an awesome place for beach camping and offers some shelter from nearby trees.
Lupine Camp, along with the other two camps of Manresa State beach has 64 campsites, with parking off-site so you don’t have to listen to the drone of a running RV through the night. The campsites are fairly close to one another, although they are somewhat covered by trees.
Along with Lupine Campground and Bay Campground, the three campgrounds of Manresa State Beach are home to 64 walk-in campsites. The campground is about a 10 minute (somewhat hilly) walk from parking, but since it’s walk-in it is usually pretty quiet at night (granted you don’t come across some college students who like camping).
