About this campground

Anchor Bay Campground in Gualala California is a small, six-acre, privately-owned campground located along Mendocino County's scenic Highway One, fronting right on the Pacific Ocean. It lies in a narrow gulch filled with native redwood trees, ferns, and other coastal flora, and opens onto 3/4-mile-long Anchor Bay Beach. So close to the beach, it's almost like you're camping on the beach! Sites include water hookup, electric/ water and full hookup sites. 27 total campsites with 15 RV sites and 12 tent camping sites. The vast majority of the sites can accommodate only smaller RVs with a few capable of handling up to a 40' max unit. The campground has a detailed site sheet on their website.

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.
