What campers say
Anchor Bay Campground sits adjacent to a south-facing beach with tide pools and direct shoreline access, and offers a mix of wooded sites among redwoods and beachfront spots. Reviewers consistently note clean restrooms and pay showers, a small on-site store and helpful, attentive camp hosts who keep the grounds well maintained. The location is walkable to a few local amenities and popular for fishing, tidepooling and family stays. Potential tradeoffs include crowded periods, a narrow or hazardous campground entrance off Highway 1, and rates that can be higher than nearby state parks. Overall, it’s a scenic, well-kept beachside option.
