The campground provides convenient access to five miles of ocean shoreline for swimming, surfing, and fishing. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, with mountain lions occasionally spotted in the area. The campground gate opens at 8:00 a.m. and closes at 10:00 p.m. daily, with no entry permitted after 10:00 p.m. Reservations are available through Reserve California, with same-day bookings possible based on availability.
