TL;DR -Beautiful Scenery -Smallish, close together campsites with picnic table, food box, and firepit -No Showers -Little to no cell coverage.
This review is for the Upper Woodside Loop Campground, and campsite 108, which I camped in. (Note: The California State Parks reservation website, does not provide a photo of campsite 108 for some reason, so the (2) photos of the campsite in this review are here for you to see.) --While campsite area is rather quite beautiful, most of the campsites, including 108, are rather quite narrow/compact and close together. Some of the sites have little to no sun exposure, so if it has rain recently the sites may be soggy - I noticed that some sites were blocked off due to this. -- The bathroom facilities do not include showers The bathrooms were clean enough for a campground. A communal hand washing sink is just out front from the bathrooms. --There are faucets for potable water sprinkled throughout the campground, and depending on where your site is, you may have to walk a bit to get to them. Faucets are attached to posts with tops painted like red mushrooms to make them easier to see. --Bundles of wood and kindling are available for purchase from camp host. --There was no cell coverage throughout the campground. The closest coverage for Verizon was at the middle parking lot at Gerstle Cove. AT&T's nearest coverage was in the Sea Ranch area. --While the campground area is very beautiful, I might only recommend the Upper Woodside sites for 2-3 people with small to medium tents, and after the weather has been dry and warm for at least a week.
It was nice to stay at the Hike & Bike Site. A really quiet place to rest after a long ride on the bike. Had always connection to the Wifi 🤤
