Description

Bay Campground is one of three at Manresa State Beach. Together, all three campgrounds have 64 campsites. All of the campsites are walk-in campsites, which can be a plus for some and a minus for others! Regardless, Bay Camp is an awesome place for beach camping and offers some shelter from nearby trees.
