In the winter sometimes we get lucky with great weather. It was the best weather for the whole week on the first week of December. Camp sites are great, although they need to cut out some of that iceplant. Bathrooms/showers are great. We go there at least once a year.
My all time favorite place to camp. But don't take my word for it. Here are some pictures! ❤️
This place is very popular, so reservations are almost always fully booked during holidays. However, you can sometimes secure a spot due to cancellations from existing reservations. It is well known for crabbing. Kids can enjoy playing on the beach while catching clams and crabs, making it an ideal spot for natural outdoor activities. However, since the campground is surrounded by the sea, it can get quite cold when the wind blows strong. Each spot has a water faucet, a fire pit, and a table available.
This is a great place to camp as long as the 24hr "hoon!... hoon!... hoon!..." of the bay safety beacon horn doesn't bother you too much. From the jetty, you can see (and hear) a little island covered in sea-lions. Bring your binoculars and/or super-zoom camera. Fire rings are good quality, and each has a side grate that you can cook on, if you want, though the bars of the grate are wide apart, so place food carefully. This campground was quite a bit more busy and crowded feeling than the smaller one further in the bay, but has a different view from the beach, so both are neat to stay at. If you can, get a site on the outer loop next to the beach, as there isn't much beach view from the inner sites.
Awesome beach. Plenty of room to spread out. Picnic tables, lots of places to fish. One of Sonoma Counties gems
