Nothing like spending a birthday at the beach. Great weather. Neighbors were cool. No issues. My mom of 77 has a knee issue and going down to the water was tricky. When I left she couldn’t go to the water because there isn’t any pathways. Be prepared to climb some rocks.

Best spot for a staycation in ventura off high way 101 , your camping on the beach at the sand

First time I viewed this campground from the freeway I told myself that the "train" layout looked so awkward. But, now that we've stayed here several times, even though it looks like everyone's packed in here like a train (they are) you will have an amazing 170° view of the Pacific Ocean and beach from your front door. You're pretty much void of your neighbors to the right or left. Winter is the best opportunity to get a site because everyone wants to be here in the summer time. No electricity, water or dump but the stellar location makes up for it. JW Enterprises dump and fresh water trucks drive thru three times a week.

In California. As far as I know. You can't get your RV/trailer/motor home any closer to the beach. Other than driving on the sands of Pismo Beach. Excellent place to stay and clear your mind.

Marlaine Kaiser | Sep 10, 2020

You're too far down to get beach access. Move to 30's to 90's to get good access

Why are the reired fireman still saving spots? Empty rigs on both sides with no visible site passes in the windows Fireman license plate on the occupied rig. Where is parks and rec? If you don't occupy your spot then let someone use😎

Kim Sutherland | Sep 11, 2018
Kevin Kissane | Sep 11, 2018

It isn't just firemen. There are multiple Facebook/social media sites that are dedicated to manipulating the spots. There are even a group of people that work at the Ventura government center that manipulate spots. The very people that we trust will handle the abuse are participating in the same abuse. There is so much abuse/manipulation that it is appalling. The problem is that there really is no reason for the county to take action because the spots are full, money is collected, and the problems affect so few people that our elected officials couldn't care less. Couple this with the fact that the people getting cheated are visitors to our county that just want to enjoy a few days at the beach. These are not County residents and they have little to no voice with the elected county supervisors. It is a very sad state of affairs that really speaks to the bigger issue of government officials not doing their job and no accountability to the public. Disgraceful

Are there any sites reserved for day-of / walk-up? Or are they all booked online?

Benjamin Wildenhaus | Aug 11, 2022
Edison Castro | Aug 11, 2022

There are spaces. Come early and speak with a Ranger. If you're nice, so are they.

Can people that live out there vans camp here?

James kinser | Sep 10, 2021
Rafael Jauregui | Sep 10, 2021

No, camper has to be self sustaining.

Are dogs allowed?

Alicia Radzicki | Sep 10, 2021
Terri Mae Sandoval | Sep 10, 2021

Yes..I believe they charge a little extra .you can see the amount on their website. Please be careful with your dog because you are parked on the old highway and there is non stop traffic I never bring my dog for fear he would run out (does not listen well)

Hello! Sort of a dumb question, but we will be staying in site #28 in a 36 ft Class A. With the incline of the road, is it safe to auto-level? I was not sure if leveling on in incline would put too much stress on the coach depending on incline.

Robert Lozada | Sep 10, 2021
8OVERLANDING (Ben Yalung) | Sep 10, 2021

It's pretty flat in Rincon. I only had to level 1in on one side. Just make sure you have chocks on all 4 wheels for safety.

Is it easy for someone to show up and just get a spot without a reservation on a Tuesday?

David Grace | Sep 10, 2021
Family Villa | Sep 10, 2021

I would not advise that. You may find a spot that is open but it may be reserved via the site and that reservation is in route. They may arrive late and if someone is there, they must leave. Just checked website and all spots are full today... https://www.venturaparks.org/payment/

Is there a spot that is easy to get onto sand?

Trish Meade | Sep 10, 2021
Cynthia Gillis | Sep 10, 2021

You have to climb down breakwater boulders to get to the sand. Some are closer than others but still a sketchy climb.

Is there WiFi or cell service in that area?

Alyson Edge | Sep 10, 2020
Steve Appleton | Sep 10, 2020

Yes at least cell service.

Can i show up no and leave tomorrow afternoon. ??

Tony Ray | Sep 10, 2020
Zachary Hale | Sep 10, 2020

As far as I know yes. We actually had people from Oregon stay for about as long as you want. I'd suggest calling them, or booking and see how it goes. You're most likely to be able too.

Will Rincon parkway be cancelling reservations for the 4th of July??

Sonia Nieto | Sep 10, 2020
Bob Cones | Sep 10, 2020

No idea. We were there last week and heard rumors Rincon had been closed to rv's up until a coupe weeks prior. When they did open, they did every other space for about a week. When we were there, all spaces were occupied. Best bet is to stay in contact with county of Ventura. I made reservations almost 3 months ago and figured if there was going to be a problem they would email me. Watch your inbox.

Are camp fires allowed?

Tris Wasserman | Sep 10, 2020
Gavin Nunns | Sep 10, 2020

No, you must have a raised fire pit/container, signs are clearly posted.
