Always come here for Thanksgiving. Wish Jose would bring me donuts.
Very nice campground, a little pricey #145 no electric, close to restrooms (no hand soap). Phone service spotty or none, diff to make calls or look up directions. NEED CASH to buy tokens for the showers! No convenience store. Employee ignored me, drove by when asked about firewood. 12 minute drive to beach or Walmart or Ralphs.
