We stayed here and car camped for one night. The staff person was extremely friendly and helpful. The sites are not private but they’re spacious and the showers and bathrooms are clean and easy to access. The campground is within walking distance of town, the beach and the monarch butterfly grove. This was a very pleasant place to stay. We paid the senior rate, which is half the regular rate of $25.00. No hookups here but there’s water. Definitely a great place to stay at the beach!

Very beautiful wooded campground with a creek running through. The sites vary from a few pull throughs to large tent sites. Some are really private and some are near the road. We are car campers and we had a large private site by the creek. There’s no water here and no showers. Vault toilets are pretty clean. This site might be difficult for big rigs. But great for tents, cars and small vans. We loved how peaceful and beautiful it was. The host was super friendly and helpful. Picnic tables should be replaced. Ours was pretty funky. No cell service or wifi. Senior rate was half price.

This place is Okay if you’re in need of a place to stay. We were here on a December weekend and there were spaces available. The restrooms were clean but no showers. Camping spaces were tight and the upper campground is basically a parking lot. The lower lot has treed spaces and is nicer. We car camp and the restrooms were a bit far away. The host was really nice and helpful. Train tracks are close and heavily used so you have to enjoy that sound. I thought the price was high but everything seems to be expensive in Southern California.

We camped one night in the Pine Knoll campground and couldn’t get out of there fast enough. This place is extremely rundown and not maintained at all. The bathrooms were filthy and half the toilets were broken. Most of the showers were nonfunctional and the rest were too dirty to try. There were signs saying the water was unsafe to drink, due to harmful algae. We were not a told about this when we checked in, so I don’t know if the signs were old and just hadn’t been removed. We were car camping here in winter and most of the place was shut down and felt deserted. It was all sort of creepy. This is a huge campground with several sections so I can’t pass judgement on the other ones. This was very expensive for what we got and wins the prize for worst campground we’ve ever stayed in.

This place may be okay if you have a big rig, but they maintain a ghetto for car and tent campers. No internet or wifi (even though they advertise it). Dirty bathrooms and showers that are falling apart. Big sign on the women’s restroom asking campers to keep the door closed so wild animals can’t get in. Then you go inside to find a huge hole in the outside wall. Staff were rude and snooty. They charged us $8.00 for a couple of ice cream bars, even though the sign said they were $1.50 each. I definitely feel if you rent a less expensive site, you’ll be treated like dirt. Very noisy here. Lots of late night parties. We paid for 2 nights. Did not stay the second night. Very expensive for what you get.

This park is best for tent camping, though there are a few spaces for trailers. We’re car campers so we were able to use a trailer site. The reservation system here is a bit haphazard so be sure to ask if there are spaces available. The “campsite full” sign is not accurate. This is a beautiful but hilly site so might not be good for anyone with mobility issues. We loved all the trees and birds. Restrooms were clean. Showers are coin-op and I didn’t try them.
