Nice quiet park. We had a double site which was right near the day use area, so easy beach access. Nice trails throughout. Will definitely be back. I love these locations that aren't horribly far from home

Beautiful park with great trails. We saw 2 whales in the distance. The dogs loved it.

This was a historical location for the defense of the state that now offers a nice walk when the weather cooperates. According to the signage sea lions frequent the area, but I was unable to spot one on my walk around the trails. There is a large brick structure located fairly close to the parking area that can be reserved for gatherings and seemed like an interesting location for a special event.
