Insider Information
There are many tent sites located in the center of the park. If you reserve two directly across from one another, you basically end up with your own island. Usually these sites are very open in the middle but trees block you from your neighbors to the sides. Great for camping parties.
The tidepools are located directly across the PCH from the campground, and offer the exciting activity of marine animal viewing. You’ll see sea anemones, sea cucumbers, urchins, starfish, hermit crabs, and the occasional octopus if you’re lucky.
Be prepared to reserve a campsite well in advance (3-6 months) for the popular summer season.
