We didn't even plan to stop here, but as we drove by we said to each other - "Wow, that looks like a great spot." We had to go a ways on up the highway before we could turn around and come back to it. Being Sunday, most folks had left, and we had no problem getting a great site, 8, overlooking the ocean. Date of visit: Apr 2008 |
 |
Site 15.
|
 |
Sites 17 and 19. |
 |
Sites 27, 26 and 25. |
 |
Sites 7 and 5. Just about every site has an ocean view. |
 |
Site 21 would rank as one of the best here: large, private, and a shade tree. |
 |
Looking down from the bluff by our site we saw this large rock with a hole in it. Although we couldn't see the hole from up there, we could see the waves coming through it. |
 |
A short path winds it way down to the shore, where we got to inspect the hole in the rock. |
 |
Liz had fun swinging this gigantic length of seaweed. |
 |
This shot taken from the hillside across the highway shows the overall setting of the campground. |
 |
Across the road from the campground is the Vincente Trail, which will take one off into the back-country. We settled for a hike of about 2 miles up to an elevation of about 700', then retraced our steps. |
 |
Looking northward along the coast. |
 |
We were thoroughly amazed at the great variety of wildflowers all along the trail. |
 |
Looking back down, you can pick out the trail winding its way up the mountainside from right to left, and way in the distance on the right is the campground. |
 |
We're used to watching sunrises over our ocean back in New England, so it's a treat to catch the sunsets out here. |
