We tried to use this campground, but it was full. The loop is tight, the other sites are larger with no privacy and it extremely difficult to turn around to get out after finding it full.

We tried to use this campground, but it was full. The loop is tight, the other sites are larger with no privacy and it extremely difficult to turn around to get out after finding it full. This area is beautiful and the public day use was great for letting the dogs run while we stayed at Sue Meg campground. The ocean beach is rough surf and we avoided it to stay on the lagoon instead.

For $25 a night I'm not sure how you can complain about this place. A lot of really good sites. Some waterfront, some sunny, some shady and a couple fairly private ones as well.

For $25 a night I'm not sure how you can complain about this place. A lot of really good sites. Some waterfront, some sunny, some shady and a couple fairly private ones as well. Decent bathrooms, cheap showers and firewood. Two serviced sites for an extra $10 that were mostly empty during our stay. Nearby state Parks were all booked but this one has plenty of sites mid-week in late April. OK for smaller trailers/RVs but not big-rig friendly.

We came here based on a friend’s recommendation. It was ok, but the one site we could use (25’) was muddy and dark. Fellow campers were nice - but one fellow “posted up” and felt he needed to hang out with us and tell his life’s story. Verizon cell coverage was fair

Verizon speeds hit 10 Mbps download and 4 Mbps upload but it was inconsistent. TMobile was 11/3. AT&T was 10/0.5. Dense tree cover so Starlink wouldn't work for most sites. Verizon and T-Mobile speeds were with a roof mounted Pepwave antenna, ATT with phone.
This was a pretty neat little park because of the dense greenery and access to the lagoon/spit. There are two sites with water/30 amp electric and we managed to snag one after arriving on a Sunday evening. The rest were dry, though some are right on the water with beautiful tree cover. Site quality was highly mixed, ours was fairly overgrown and the fire pit unusable because of close vegetation. Slightly unlevel side to side, more front to back. Dirt/grass/mulch pad. We were separated from the other hookup site with a big log - not ideal but we needed the juice due to poor solar from shading.
Showers and bathroom available. Kayak rental and cheap firewood too.
We used this place as a less expensive base to explore Redwood NP. We're too long for the various state parks and NPs at 30 ft but we fit fine in the hookup site. There was an additional loop that might be hard to maneuver in with a bigger trailer - they have signs advising you not to try.
The access road is in terrible shape with potholes. I've driven on better USFS roads in the middle of nowhere.

I stayed here on a Sunday night, and the campsite only had four campers in it. I had a good choice of campsites, and picked one right along the water, which was level and dry. The camp host dude, which is his name, was extremely friendly and helpful and offered me, a host of information about the site and the amenities. The campsite has a single bathroom for men and a single bathroom for women and a shower which cost $.50 for five minutes. Camping prices range from $22-$25 depending upon your active duty retiree status. Overall I think this is an excellent campground for anyone who wants to be close to the water and away from traffic.

Got last site at 3:30 pm on a Thursday. Something has changed in the last year. Was $25 last year. Now it's $5 & $3 for seniors.
Mostly locals stay here plus a site with homeless men. No one was offensive, just noisy families at 8:30 when we returned from Fern Canyon and Drewry Scenic Drive.
Restrooms have running cold water and flush toilets. No mirror, just the basics.
Most road trippers should bypass this one and stay at one of the many state park campgrounds nearby.

We pulled in about 3 o’clock on a Friday and everything was taken except one site - is about big enough to park your car and that was it. The county should be ashamed to take $25 for two of the sites here, that are next to each other separated by logs.

We pulled in about 3 o’clock on a Friday and everything was taken except one site - is about big enough to park your car and that was it. The county should be ashamed to take $25 for two of the sites here, that are next to each other separated by logs. They’re tiny, sloping, there’s hardly a spot to pitch a small tent, and when you do it’s next to the ring. The county should pull out the logs in between these two interior sites combine them, then it’s worth the money. The rest of the campground has some beautiful sites, larger, tucked amongst the trees and much better, easy to use, more like real campsites, but there’s a couple in the middle you have to watch for they’re horrible, worth a lot less. Basically they’ve squeezed in too many sites for the area.

Loved the peaceful and quiet atmosphere. They only have two spaces for hookups. You get water and electricity, no sewer. They do have bathrooms and showers. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. it’s right on the lagoon and within walking distance to the actual beach.

We had a very relaxing stay. We stayed in site 25 and the view from behind our site of the lagoon was amazing. Met a great full time camping couple also using Campendium. The camp ground is a little funky but cant beat the area. Camp ground host was great.
