It's fine, but I don't really understand why it's so popular. Lots of annoying group sites, yelling kids, and giant RVs. Quiet hours aren't respected or enforced. High metal fire pits so you can't see your fire if you sit. Itchy, scrubby grass everywhere. The beach is really close, but this is California, and there are plenty of much nicer beaches. It's okay, but I wouldn't go again, and I definitely wouldn't say it's worth reserving months in advance.
