Brandy - This campground came highly recommended by several friends. We tent camped there in September 2003.

Campground Review

This campground combines the best of both worlds, satisfying both my desire to camp at the beach and my husband's longing to camp in the woods. Not your typical beach campground, El Capitan offers the shade and serenity of a wooded area, with many oak and sycamore trees throughout the park. There are beautiful views from the cliff-top campground. Spacious campsites and a gentle beach with tide pools make this the perfect family camping destination.

"WE WENT TO THIS CAMPGROUND ON JUNE 2009 AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME CAMPING IN CALIFORNIA. THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!! VERY CLEAN!! THE ONLY BAD THING IS THE STAFF WORKING THERE,THEY ARE NOT FRIENDLY AT ALL AND THEY DONT INFORM ANYTHING WHEN YOU CHECK IN.EVEN WHEN WE ASKED ABOUT THE NEAREST MARKET THE YOUNG GUY AT THE GATE SAID THAT WAS BY THE PARKING AT THE BEACH SO WE WENT THERE AND THAT PLACE WAS CLOSED AND ABANDONED SO THEY ARE NOT WELL INFORM AT ALL. OTHER THAN THAT ,GREAT PLACE!!"
