Learn more about alerts →Hikers and beach-walkers who can do without showers will get the most out of site 18 or anywhere on that list of fan favorites. Valencia Peak trail starts practically at your door, raccoons raid unattended food, so hang it, and the ocean is audible at night from your sleeping bag
No showers is a genuine dealbreaker for a lot of people, and the vault toilets aren't a small thing on a multi-night stay. RVs over 27 feet won't fit, there are no hookups, no dump station, and the rangers have enough rough-interaction reviews to be worth knowing about before you

Summer delivers the most reliable weather. Daytime highs in the 60s, occasional pushes to low 70s, cool nights in the mid-40s to mid-50s. The Pacific keeps temperatures 30 degrees cooler than inland valleys. Expect morning fog that burns off by midday, then evening chill rolling back in. July and August weekends are busiest. Bring layers. The fog and wind are constants, not inconveniences. Pack extra tent stakes. Reviewers recommend arriving prepared with water and sun protection for hiking, poison oak awareness for trail edges.
Summer gives the most reliable weather and clearer skies; daytime highs in the 60s–70s.
