The park is beautiful. Spaces are big and although not very level, I had enough blocks to resolve any issues.*
The sites are spread out and there is a feeling of spaciousness. Campers were all very friendly and the camp host came over and introduced herself when she saw me outside and asked if I was having a good time.
The ocean is over the hill at the last camp grouping. It was an easy and pleasant hike for me and my dog.

The first day, the park ranger at the booth told me I was early (I'd been told to arrive no later than noon because there were only a few spots left and they were FCFS) and I should park and come back in an hour. (It was 5 minutes past noon. Check out time is noon. I don't know what their system is, but she apparently could not tell if there were any spots open without sending someone up to the campground to look?) Anyway, I came back at about 1:45 and she had confirmed an open spot. I paid and asked if I could possibly reserve a spot for the following night if there were any openings. She was fairly rude and said "I can only deal with one day at a time." She seemed frazzled even though there were no other cars waiting to get in and no other campers looking for a spot. A ranger behind her sat in a chair, checking text messages.

The campsite was nice and secluded. We took many walks through the campground and nearly everyone was friendly. The view of the ocean from the top of the hill was amazing.

The following day, I went back down and there was a different, younger ranger at the check in station. I told her I wanted to stay another night and she came out (there were a long line of cars waiting to get in and it was a Friday, so I didn't hold out much hope). She had a map with 7 campsites highlighted. She said they were all open and that I should go look and see which one appealed to me. I did and got an amazing site. The difference between her and the other ranger the day before was like night and day. She was so helpful, so enthusiastic.

There were two families camping on the other side of the ring. They had young kids who were fairly noisy and ran rampant most of the time. This of course is not the fault of the campground. Being a full time Van-life person, I find it not always easy to camp with rookies who don't have any camp manners. I guess that's just part of living on the road.

Cell coverage was sporadic--from poor to none. It was foggy much of the time, and it seemed I could get 1 bar of Verizon only when the fog lifted and the sun came out. Is this a scientific thing, or just my imagination? Does heavy fog interfere with cell reception?

Overall, a pleasant experience. I didn't use the rest room because I have my own on board. I wanted a shower, but it took quarters and I had none. The facilities seemed dated, but very well kept.
