Trailers heading to east-side sites face a temporary 10-foot-wide bridge requiring a sharp right turn plus U-turn on exit, no room for error. AT&T gets zero signal here, and entrance-loop sites are tight enough that neighbors are basically campmates.

Spring brings the best conditions: daytime highs around 55-65°F, cool nights in the mid-40s to low-50s. Coastal wildflowers bloom along the trails and migratory birds pass through. Summer mornings start foggy, clearing to sun by afternoon, though evenings stay cool. Winter storms drench the area and trails stay muddy well into spring. Pack waterproof boots year-round. The ocean moderates temperatures in all seasons, so bring layers even in summer.
Spring cited as best: 55–65°F days, wildflowers and migratory birds—peak scenic conditions.
