About Us
Nestled along the Central Coast of California, Sunset State Beach Campground offers an unpretentious, deeply coastal camping experience. Perched above the Pacific, our grounds sit between the dunes and the redwood-lined bluffs of Watsonville — a place where the ocean breeze carries salt and the evening sky ignites in every shade of amber and violet.
Whether you arrive with a tent, an RV, or nothing more than a sleeping bag and a sense of wonder, this is the stretch of California coast that feels like it was made for slow mornings, bonfires, and the kind of silence you only find where the land meets the sea.

The Experience
Coast
Watch the surf roll in from your campsite. The Pacific never sleeps, and neither does the energy here.
Evening
Gather around the fire pit as the sky transforms — amber, rose, and deep violet stretching to the horizon.
Nature
Hike through ancient coastal redwoods and maritime chaparral — a world away from the city, minutes from home.
Camping
Choose your spot on the bluff — whether you prefer the shade of coastal pines or the open sky above the dunes. Every site brings you closer to the rhythm of the tides.
Flat, clear pads nestled among coastal vegetation. Perfect for tents and small campers seeking an intimate beach connection.
Spacious pull-through and back-in sites accommodate a range of RV sizes. Hookups and easy beach access included.
Clean restroom facilities, potable water stations, picnic tables, fire rings, and designated trash collection throughout the grounds.
