#7 - Large Sunny Family Spot

Worth your time and money.

Close to others, but nice trees, nice fire ring, table. Site is being developed, but trails are great, beach is a nice walk, and the camp is up out of the beach wind and wetness. The proximity to the reserve and the beach is really nice, walking without cars, or highway crossing is ideal. Site is very clean, plenty of shade and space for a family. Loved it, will be back.

#11 Large Sunny Group Campsite

The ideal escape.

Tent camping at the group site (11) was perfect! Easy walk to the beach. We were worried about too much sun in the meadow causing early wake ups but this was not the case and there were even some tent spots in the trees. It was wonderful.

#10 - Sunny Spot

Peace and quiet

Easy to reserve. Self check in is seamless. Site was private and quiet, even though it was next to a large group site. The honeyhuts were surprisingly clean with no smell whatsoever. You are only about 10 minutes from Mendocino at the most but you would never know it. We would love to come back.
