Fantastic beach location! There are little to no waves, a long, wide sandy beach perfect for kids to play in. Be forewarned if camping at Miwok Campground, however, this place is VERY windy! We tent camped for four days, three nights with 40 kids in wind no less than 25 mph the majority of the time. One morning we had a bit of a break but it ramped up again in the afternoon. Gusts were close to 50 mph on our last night which made it near to impossible to sleep. If there are gale force wind warnings, I recommend staying in a hotel and playing at the beach there. The dune did provide a bit of a wind break so the beach was the best place to be. Our neighbors' tent broke a pole within 3 hours of setup. We lucked out all our tents survived!

We had a great time at Doran Campground this year, we have already been there twice this yr. The campgrounds are very clean as were their bathrooms. Although the weather was beautiful in the mornings this year seemed unusually windy in the late afternoon. Love this place and have already booked a space for next year.

Are there hookups

Marc Kincade | Jan 16, 2020
Chris T | Jan 17, 2020

Not really, no. There are a few sites that are ADA compliant that have electricity, and there is a water spigot every few sites you can use to fill up. You need to disconnect once you're done filling up as the water spigots need to be available for other campers.
