Windy area. Too cold for the tents. A lot of tent campers moved out before sunrise because of cold windy weather. Restrooms are clean. Verizon coverage only is in one spot on the beach. Lack of firewood - bring it with you. Beautiful lighthouse trail but 1/3 is by the sand.

If you don't mind the windy weather, it's a great place. Little chance to find a site during weekend. Road in isn't rough at all but just winding and twisted. Sedan can easily pass.

Beautiful area. The campground was nice. Lighthouse road is winding and a bit rough, but a great scenic drive to get to this campground. …

Questions & Answers

Is there cell service here.

That depends on who your phone provider is. My friend and I had 2 different services ( His was sprint and mine was straight talk). He had no service but I occasionally got service right on the beach with 1 bar. From what I could tell, most people didn't get service or they got very poor service.

Can reservation be made for a space in the Campground.

No. Unfortunately. It's on a first come, first serve basis. There are only 15 sites. Your best bet to find a spot is during the middle of the week. If you wait until the weekend to get there, your chances a getting a spot are highly unlikely.

Two questions; Is the road paved? Could a low clearance car such as a Toyota prius make it?

The road is paved it some parts, but in others it is not. We were in a Ford Astro van and it was incredibly bumpy. Could you make it in a Prius? Sure, but you would have to be very diligent on this road. The road leading there is called lighthouse road. It is very twisty road with hills. I saw other cars that are small and low to the ground in the campground, so you can make it there safely.

Does it often get crowded ?

My first question is whether a 4WD Ford Excursion could get into this campground (Mattole BLM) with a 19 ft trailer. My second question is whether there was any cell reception out there at all (I would be using WeBoost RV signal booster)

The trailer is not a great idea , could it be done? Yes ... But recommend? ... No. Cell phone is a absolute no.
