This beautiful campground is right on the beach and very close to the touristy areas of Capitola and Aptos.  We walked along the beach to Aptos and Sea Cliff for dinner one night, and rode our bikes to Capitola for the day.  The weather was beautiful and sunny when we were here in late February, but it did get windy in the night.

Most sites are dry camping only, but there are a few with hookups. There is a dump station with 4 dumps and potable water to fill your tanks on the way out (beware that it gets backed up with RVs using the dump right around the noon checkout time).  Potable water spigot is up past the dump area.

This campground will not let you check in before 2pm, and will give you a free pass and direct you to the day use parking lot at Sea Cliff to wait, as the New Brighton day use parking lot is under construction to repair a sinkhole. 

There are coin operated showers here, but the showers ate our $0.75 when we tried to use them, so be aware.

Garbage and recycling bins available here.

There are hike-in and bike-in sites, but be sure to look up what is open before you come as things seem to be changing frequently as covid guidance changes.  I saw a sign for enroute camping for bikers as well.

Bear box, metal fire pit, and picnic tables provided at each site.  Firewood available for sale.

Good cell reception.
