kinda of a hike to get down to the beach but worth it. Better for short boarding if you surf.

Camping on the Bluffs is parking next to the beach, on the road. If you get away from the beach, the campground is surrounded by hills and trees with a walk to the beach.

Camping here is more for great beach access, not a great camping experience. Tons of campsites with plenty of inexperienced/unaware/careless campers. Lots of families, animals, and RVs.

Good for family camping... not good for 'real' camping.

Be sure and bring ear plugs, the Amtrak blast through about 3am and is extremely loud, outdoor showers, fairly clean bathrooms. All around a good experience.
