1. Everything seems brand new and very clean.
2. Campgrounds are tiered so everyone has a view of the ocean.
3. Campsites are narrow and deep with room for your chairs, hammocks, etc.
4. The hike to the beach is about 10 minutes downhill, or you can opt to drive down.
5. Find the turn-off to the state park near the El Morro Elementary School.
6. Reserve your space well in advance for summer camping.
