A very nice RV Park with well spaced full concrete pads, a beautiful pool, and even nice tent camping area overlooking El Capitan Beach. It is on the other side of the highway from the beach and is not in a reasonable or safe distance to walk to the beach meaning either bikes or driving are the safest access means. That being said this place is great. A bit high on the price side of things but okay for a splurge.
