We had 4 adults and 4 kids and we had plenty of room! There is a real neighborhood feel. The kids went riding their bikes all over the camp ground and were completely safe. Every site in San Simeon loop has a picnic table and a fire pit ready to go. The location is great! 5 minute walk to the... more

Stayed here from three nights in mid-July, 2009. The campsight we stayed in, number 106, was perfect. It was surrounded by trees, so even though the campground was full, we had plenty of privacy and felt like we were alone. The campsights around the beach, the numbers in the 120s, were very close together and in the wide open, though.... more

The park is well located just a quick walk to the beach. The shore is the typical beach in the area - lots of kelp And pretty cold even in July. The bathroom facilities were clean, although there was no light inside, so bring a flashlight when you need to use them! We stayed at the tent only sites (132... more

Our family camped here for the 2008 labor day week end. It is next to the beach and very close to the Hearst Castle. Our camp site was level and nicely shaded. The bath rooms were clean and well maintained. The coin operated shower had only luke warm water. They had good ranger managed programs on both the days we... more

Stayed here during our fly-drive tour of California Jul/Aug 2008. Arrived late and left early but got as far as the beach and in the sea (pretty cold!!). The camp ground was great and the shower facilities well looked after. Beautiful location and wish we could have stayed longer. Only problem was the water temperature in the shower.... cold (and... more

Went camping for 3 days at San Simeon on July 24-27. First time. Went with a family of 19 for a new tradition...camping! This is the Second Annual Camping Trip for my family. We ranged from the camper elite to the novice to the "I can't get dirty" camper. We had reserved three sites for that weekend and didn't get... more

We were in spot 46 at the San Simeon State Park for tent camping. It was windy as heck in the afternoons and early evening. The fire pits are tall - about 3 feet - so we could not stay warm by the campfire unless we stood up. The park is about 1/4 mile from the beach - the beach... more

My brother and I just went camping at the Washburn campground at San Simeon, and we had a great time. The drive up from Orange County (about 5 hours) was beautiful and the campground was easy to find. We had no problems with our reservation and they were quite flexible about the specific site we wanted. The site itself was... more
