"Great views and close to lots of cool stuff"

We had planned on camping on the beach but it was actually way too crowded up there so we elected to stay in the gravel parking lot nearer to the entrance and we couldn't have been happier with our spot. We had a fantastic 280 degree view of the... Read more
