What's not to love about this campsite? It's located on Highway 1, north of Bodega Bay. Most campsites have a fire ring where you can burn wood and hang out by the campfire. The staff are friendly and the sites are clean. There are no hookups, so you will be doing dry camping. There are plenty of outhouse sites, aka Honey Buckets and water spickets scattered throughout the park. There is one area... What's not to love about this campsite?

There is one area where you can take an open roof shower. Make sure to bring quarters. The shower operates on 3 dollars worth of quarters, and for that, you get 6 minutes of hot water to wash yourself. Quiet time is from 9pm to 9am. So sleep is wonderful. We were just there this past week, Monday night, until Wednesday morning. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. There's a few hiking trails with breathtaking views. The store across the street offers fresh coffee in the morning and plenty of snacks, stickers, and camping food in case you don't want to take a trip to the nearby restaurants. This campsite is 1st come, 1st serve. Check in and out at the Ocean Cove Store across the street from the camp ground. I highly recommend this campground.

Casual, laid-back camp with showers and toilets, a few tables; all dirt roads, no pavement, and uneven in spots. The sites are scattered somewhat randomly about, which gives a great "feel" to the place. No sardine-stacking here. Many of the sites are on or very near shoreline cliffs, with wonderful views of the sea and rocky terrain. It's also easy to hike down to the water line, and there's even...

It's also easy to hike down to the water line, and there's even a rough launch ramp for (very) small boats, SUP's and kayaks and such. There's every type of visitor, from big diesel pushers to hikers, cyclists, motorcyclists, and every variation of traveler/camper. All we met were courteous, happy and friendly. In addition, just across the highway are a store, a restaurant, and a motel. Really a great spot... not 5-star, it's too "rough", but that's the way I like it.

Such a nice campground. Prepare for wind! The ramp down to the beach is steep, and the beach is pretty much rocks. But there are tons of beaches around the campsite you can visit.
