Beautiful campground! Stayed in site #87 and it was great. No coverage and wide open to our neighbor but it didn't make much of a diff. If you're camping with a large group but not big enough to stay in the group site, stay in 87 & to one next to it - sorry I'm not sure what the other site # was.

Close proximity to a beautiful beach - it was VERY rough while we were there and not swimmable. I don't know if it calms down. It must, but I don't know if its seasonal. Showers are available, but not free and you have to go through the annoying process of getting tokens from the camp host. They might take quarters - but it looked like you needed a lot. Love when showers are available, especially that close to tye beach when you're going to get sandy and salty. But hate when you have to pay. Just charge an extra buck or two to camp.

Only about a 5-10 minute drive to town. This was my first visit to Ft. Bragg, and I'll just say that I'm glad I was camping. Seems to me that the best part about FB is its close proximity to Mendo. FB just doesn't seem to have much to offer. A couple of cute shops, coffee and mediocre restaurants.

I'll mention one sort of uncomfortable interaction we had with a ranger...the Reserve California site makes it unclear that when you add a car, you haven't paid for that car. So when the ranger came to say good morning (though we arrived by 4, the booth was already empty, so we couldn't get our parking passes) it wasn't to say good morning it was to collect $ for the extra car. He was WAY to "Sir who does this car belong to? And when we told him we thought we paid, he said he was aware of the confusing R.C. website when it came to cars. He chilled out a bit at that point, but a little training on customer interaction would be helpful here. I don't think the park service trains employees to interact with campers/customers in a way that begins by creating a defensive and uncomfortable situation
