Emma Wood State Beach

We love this place. When the dry camp spots haven't been destroyed by the surf, and it's not too crowded, this is a beautiful place to see the sunset, walk your dogs, fish, sail board, read, play guitar, fly a kite, ride your bike, have a camp fire (bring your own firewood.) I'm not swimming there, but I think body surfing near the entrance might be good. Hardly any spots are level. A mixture of dirt and rock, pretty rough in some spots. I have a supply of 4 x 8 blocks, plus other leveling accouterments for our 30 ft RV. Most civilized glampers have hydraulics. The train is 30 feet away, 8 times per day, and 4 times at night. The freeway is 40 feet past that, but pretty high up, so not real noisy. The surf laps at the shore kess than 20 feet away at high tide. CAUTION: Midnight thieves think they own this place. If you catch one, don't hesitate to make them wish that doing time was going to be the worst of their problems. Bicycles, generators, anything not nailed to your RV is a target. If you meet these people during the day, they send a pretty girl to walk in to your camp and act dumb while she scopes out your stuff to send the crew in for at 3am. Catch them in the act, hurt them, make them sorry they picked the wrong camp to rob. Then have breakfast and know that you've made the world a better place by turning a night creeper into a sniveling coward 😤
