i was hesitant to camp here because many blogger mention that this place was structured like a parking lot and there was no real privacy for the campers. but when i got there we were happy to find a campsite that was private enough for the both of us. we didn’t choose the one closest to the beach because those are the tightest camping sites. but we still saw the beach and had direct access to it. we went in the middle of august and was surprised to see that this campsite was empty compared to Montana de Oro or Morro Bay campsite that was located near by. maybe it was because people said it was a parking lot. when we checked in the lady in the booth gave us a free admission pass to the natural museum. a great activity for children if you are taking them with you. yeah it was nice. boo for Governor Arnold for increasing the price though
