We wanted to stay 3 nights but got only space for 2.You have to go through a complicate procedure a combination of showing up in the morning to get on the waiting list and beeing there personally at 10 to 2. How strange! The spot is nice with clean showers (run on quarters) and restrooms. The highlight of course is the beach access do... more

As others have stated, this place feels like the last time a landscaper came by was a few years ago. The growth can heavily influence the view from some of the premium sites like ours. 76 had a better view than ours or was at least less affected by the growth. Ironically, the day we were leaving the camp host was weed-eating his own... more

Don't know how we got a reservation for this spot but we stayed in site 078 on 1/6-11/2019, beautiful view but with some down falls, since your camp is on the bluff with a great view other campers have no respect for you campsite as the walk through trying to get to see the ocean. Its not the new campers its old geezers that don't re... more

This is an over used CA state park with little to no amenities other than the view that you will have to pay for. The sites are dirty and small and the area is noisy. ☹️

I had high hopes for this place due to its close prioximty to town, but that faded quickly before we were able to get a site. The young girl and guy at the kiosk told me that they indeed had sites available, but they were unable to allow me into the park to pick the site of my choice. They advised that I could take the “5-minute” wal... more

We had stayed in quite a few different CA state parks and this one was ok. The sites are a little bit tight and glasses are overgrown. They had us to be put on waiting list and check in again at 2pm to get out spot even though there are open spots already. Even you have reservation and you also have to wait to check in until 2pm . ... more

I had this on my list of places I must camp since this campground is rated a 10 in Tom Stienstra RV Camping books. Well, I wouldn't call this campground a 10. But I will say, if one is looking for a place to stay close to Santa Cruz then this is a great location. I prefer camping away from towns and cities. Check-in was simple and easy... more

This was a great state park in the heart of the Central Coast. We visitied Pebble Beach, Monterey, Santa Cruz, and enjoyed the state park, too. Everything was within an hour and the fellow campers were great. The cliffs and big trees were amazing. It was the perfect setting for a campground. We didn’t use the bathrooms so I can’t comme... more

Stayed here for two weeks, 1st week in site #94 (3.5/5), then 2nd week in premium site #76 (5/5). 1st site was nothing special but spacious and quiet during the week as the non-premium sites are not often full during the winter months, and it backs onto the electric hookup sites so there's no generators abound (other than my own). 2nd... more

Nice campground. Expensive and you pay for showers (due to the drought). Really easy access to beach below the cliff. We rode our bikes to Santa Cruz, Capitola and Aptos. Park wifi is decent, even great with external wifi booster.
