Sunset Sb Group Campground
Open for reservations March 15 through October 31. The group site is closed when not reserved. Reservations available through ReserveCalifornia.com.
Coastal Flood Advisory issued October 29 at 3:10PM PDT until November 1 at 6:00PM PST by NWS San Francisco CA
* WHAT...Up to 1.9 ft of inundation above ground level is possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. * WHERE...Bay Shoreline locations of San Pablo Bay, San Francisco Bay, and Monterey Bay. * WHEN...Until 6 PM PDT Sunday. * IMPACTS...High tides will result in flooding of low-lying infrastructure, isolated road closures, and coastal erosion. Rising tides will bring water and waves farther up the beach than normal, restricting escape from beaches and coastal areas. More substantial impacts are expected along bayshore Marin County where increased flooding is anticipated across low lying areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...At the San Francisco tidal gauge, high tide is expected to be 1.9 ft above normal (7.7 ft MLLW) at 02:39 PM Friday 10/30, 1.5 feet above normal (7.3 ft MLLW) at 03:44 PM on Saturday 10/31, and 1.0 ft above normal (6.8 ft MLLW) on Sunday 11/01 at 3:59 PM. These predictions include up to 1.5 ft of surge that will enhance the astronomical tide and flooding threat. High tide varies up to 90 minutes earlier or later along the Pacific Coast and through the San Francisco Bay, respectively.
About
Sunset SB Group Campground offers a group camping experience at Sunset State Beach, situated between Santa Cruz and Monterey along a secluded stretch of California coastline. The campground is set among Monterey pines with mountainous sand dunes separating the sites from the Pacific Ocean. Large agricultural fields border the park to the east, creating a peaceful buffer from urban development. The group site can host between 9 and 50 campers with space for up to 10 vehicles at $335 per night. Facilities include restrooms with pay showers (quarters required), drinking water, and fire rings for campfires. The campground operates on a reservation-only basis from mid-March through October, remaining closed when not reserved. Beach access is via trails through the dunes, though swimmers should be aware of dangerous rip currents, cold water, and steep offshore dropoffs. Dogs are permitted in the campground on a 6-foot leash but are prohibited on the beach itself due to environmentally sensitive areas. No RV hookups are available, and the maximum RV/trailer length is 31 feet. A dump station is available at nearby New Brighton State Beach for registered campers.
Directions
From Highway 1, take the San Andreas Road exit. Proceed south to Sunset Beach Road, then head west to the beach entrance at 201 Sunset Beach Road, Watsonville.
