By the beach!

Site 49B was mostly shaded and pretty flat. Parking space was paved. Had a fire ring and a picnic table. Nice big area for a large tent or a screen tent. Pine needles everywhere was a bit annoying but not much you can do unless you brought a broom. Super close to the very short trail to the beach. Right next to trail to bathhouse and foot wash station. Campground was at least 75% full when I arrived. People were respectful and quiet. The beach was clean and enormous. Plenty of room to spread yourself out and not disturb people. Bathhouse was pretty clean, didn’t smell bad, and had soap in both dispensers. Water pressure was great. Water only took a couple minutes to get warm. Garbage was emptied regularly in the bathroom which was nice. They had a designated garbage and recycling area for campers too. I also noted that the campground itself was very clean. There were quite a few potholes though so just make sure you drive slowly and watch your step if you decide to walk around the campground roads. The site I was on was the second loop in from highway 101 so you heard quite a bit of traffic noise unfortunately. If I camp here again I would definitely try to camp in the loop furthest from the road-right next to the beach. Those spots unfortunately appear to be first come first served so there is no knowing if you will actually be able to get a spot.
