Abalone Point

$35 per site, entire campground is dry. Vault toilets every 100 yards or so between sites. There are over 20 sites (of which 7 were filled when I stayed there) so don't worry about it filling up. The park ranger from up the road drives by to patrol once in a while. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. Freshly cut grass clippings were everywhere, all over the tables and every surface.

Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. Freshly cut grass clippings were everywhere, all over the tables and every surface. Nice view of the ocean of course. Seems better for car/van camping than tenting due to the proximity to major road and ocean moisture, but that's just my opinion. Families and people were tenting while I was there. But I'd give it a thumbs up to vehicle sleepers.

The best part of this campground is the ocean views. But it’s expensive considering how poorly it’s taken care of. All the open spots we looked at had tons of trash laying around (toothbrushes, hats, plastic), the tables were covered in dry food, one site even had logs burning in the campfire with no one around. The campground has 3 drop toilets. 2/3 were all out of toilet paper. It’s a cool spot,... The best part of this campground is the ocean views.

Bears!!! 4 bears marauding the campsite regularly as early as 10:30 pm. About 1/2 the dumpsters are not bear proof so they tip them over. A volunteer also told me a bear went into a tent that had 2 sleeping kids in it- no one was hurt, but DO NOT KEEP SCENTED ITEMS OR FOOD IN TENTS! Keep all food AND COOLERS locked up in a vehicle any time they're unattended or after dark. My daughter and I were s... Bears!!! 4 bears marauding the campsite regularly as early as 10:30 pm.

My daughter and I were star gazing and a bear walked 3 feet past our heads to get to our cooler about 10 feet away that I had not put away yet (dumb move, doh!!). Luckily it was an adolescent that knocked the cooler over as I talked quietly to it (hey, bear, go away, bear...), grabbed a bag of bread, and ran off along the cliff. If it had been one of the older bears, I fear she would've stayed eaten her fill. Be diligent, folks!!
