Yes, this is a parking lot on the beach with full hookups, but it's a parking lot on the BEACH with full hookups! What a fabulous place to stay if you want beach accessibility! We loved this place so much. The weather in was fabulous, the people are nice, there's a new Safeway grocery store right down the street. Who could ask for more? We camped here in a Motorhome.
Full hookups right next to the beach. That about says it all! Couple useful points, the sites are a fairly narrow, paved, level parking spot with a picnic table and fire pit on sand next to it. The sand is kept in with a curb, so you need to be careful backing in so you don't scuff your tires/rims. Several mile long walking path runs right behind the RV's. Camphosts are friendly and have a table of reading material you can borrow. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The on site hosts were friendly and helpful. Easy access to highway 101. We were very pleased with this park. The beach was beautiful. The sites were level and well maintained. We will return to this park We camped here in a Motorhome.
As previously posted, park itself is outstanding, but poorly planned. That is the reason for a 6 rating. Whether the state government submits to local concerns or not, the park designers have grossly limited the number and size of rv's able to utilize this beautiful area campground. It does not matter who was or who is governor, it can be corrected and yet, it is not! Politics at its best. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sea Cliff State Park offered pull-in sites along a sea wall, with a wide beach in front, and a tall cliff to the rear. Only about half the sites offered hookups. When we arrived in June at 2:34 p.m. midweek-without reservations- only spaces in the non-hookup "overflow" area were available. They were admitting only self-contained motorhomes at the time. Apparently, park construction limited vehicle turn around:
any RV longer than 34' was turned away at that time. The "overflow" spaces were basically the same as the hook-up ones, but without utilities. For water and sewer we were told to go to nearby New Brighton State Beach. We were told at the gate that generators were allowed, but did not know at that time that "generators may be operated from 10:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m." only. This is one park I would recommend that RVers call ahead to determine availablity and any special restrictions . We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great place to visit. Views and nature, plus proximity to beach make this an outstanding campground! Generally quiet and clean. It is a bummer that this campground only has 26 sites with hookups, but that also makes it nice and quiet with a lower hassle factor. By the way, the park has been here for many years so blaming the limited 26 sites on our current governor is not exactly accurate... We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
