Description

This environmental campground has a pretty gnarly view of Needle Rock and Double Rock which are some crazy rock formations jutting out of the ocean. This campground is basically the northern point of the Sinkyone (Usal Beach is the southern), making it very convenient with trailheads and a visitor center. You NEED(le Rock) to check out Sinkyone!

I have camped here several times over the last 20 years and it never disappoints, a perfect off the beaten path location with amazing views, well worth the increasingly remote 25 mile drive off the 101. They have recently updated the single car camping barn location. Enjoy the views and peaceful setting.

A breathtaking experience...just be sure to arrive in a sturdy vehicle- the road in and out is seriously rustic.

And this is a gorgeous campground. It's within the California State Parks this done and there is a camp host there most of the time who will charge you the $25 per night camping. There are several sites within walking distance from the parking lot if you want to car camp and there is a barn you can rent for $30 as well. You can also backpack and about a mile to another nice spot. All of the sides are near creeks and springs and you can hear the ocean all night.
