Crystal Cove State Park

Fees: $75 a night plus a 7.99 reservation fee. Water and electricity. This campground overlooks the Pacific Ocean. All of the camp sites have a view of the water since the park sits on a bluff and the campground is terraced. It’s quite a location. The rest of the park is also fascinating. There is access to the beach and wonderful ti... more

This is a solid 5-star state park. I can’t say enough good things about this park. The staff is awesome, the views are amazing, you can walk to the beach, and the list goes on. Laguna Beach is 10 minutes to the south. Corona Del Mar and Newport Beach are 10 minutes to the north. You can easily get to the freeways. The sites are a mix o... more

What a beautiful view of the ocean from high up on a bluff over the sea. The beach is amazing. I think it’s over two miles long with tidal pools to explore. There were lots of trails into the hills. We walked for an hour on one and found it quite peaceful. There was a Trader Joe’s about five minutes from the campground. The bathr... more

This is an expensive State Park ($75/night). The location is very convenient to Laguna Beach and Newport Beach. The grounds are very clean and the RV sites are 30/50 amp W/E. I'm surprised and disappointed to not have sewer given this is such a new park. If it had sewer, it would be 5 stars. The walking trails are great for the dogs. ... more

Im just adding another 5 star review here.... our site, #57, was on the Dolphin Loop, which is the nearest to the edge of the bluff. The views are fantastic (unless the fog rolls in), the site is huge and its directly across from the very clean showers and restrooms. The staff was super nice, and kept the place in tip-top shape. There’... more

We stayed in one of the many dry camping spots closer to the coast (the Pacific Coast Highway runs between the park and the coast) in the the Dolphin Loop. We saw both whales and dolphins from our site, which was pretty amazing. You'll have a full uninterrupted panoramic view of the coast from your site. The site was clean, well spa... more

We stayed here during October of 2015 and absolutely loved it. We were the second row of RVs up from the ocean (around spot 19). All of the sites have plenty of space around the RV and then a large area on the beach side to hang out and enjoy the view. The campground is very quiet and everyone was super respectful; it gets very dark... more

We've stayed her a few times, it's easy and close for us,and a very clean campground with amazing views as others have stated. I'm surprised anyone has gotten in before 3pm- they're usually very strict on the check in time. Also- please note there are no campfires here. You CAN bring a portable propane fire pit, and you'll see a lot... more

What a place! We loved our stay here. We arrived at 2 pm, but the ranger checked us in and told us to arrive after 3 pm next time. I don't understand why the have a firm 3 pm check-in time, but it was kind of him to let us through. We had reserved a site with water and electric hookups, and everything worked just fine. The dump sta... more

We loved staying here but I wanted to add that the walk from the campground to the beach is pretty darn steep and was difficult with little kids plus stroller. You can drive down and park close to the beach entrance, but we didn't want to move, unplug, etc. One of the prettiest beaches I've seen in California. Gorgeous on the water ... more
