Hobson Beach Park

Friendly and helpful hosts. Kind and considerate park rangers. A little food shack with fresh salada, burritos, sandwiches. Acess to a beach. I hooked up to power/sewage but there are other sites as well. Really good experience.

Hobson Beach Camping! Best parking lot around. |I bet this place is fine if you’re in a trailer or RV. But for someone with a tent and any experience with other sites, this place is awful. It’s just a gravel coffin surrounded by asphalt on all sides. No beach, trails, or much of anything besides a parking lot. |Snack shack is nice and ocean waves are pretty.

I would love to give this five star review because I love having the ocean break right behind my RV. Very very tight spots. They allowed my rv reservation, 35 ft long fifth wheel,opposing slides. We maneuvered into the site, put the slides out. One slide is maybe 3 inches over what they consider "the line". The park ranger on duty Sunday, when we arrived. came and checked it out and told us it was fine. The site next to us has more room than any other site in the park. We arrive back to our RV on Monday evening after a day on Santa Cruz Island to a note on our door that says we have to move our rig because it is over the line. We wait till the ranger arrives today, Tuesday, tell him that the other ranger left a note in our reservation that we were fine and did not have to move. Today's ran

Great spot on the ocean; spots are pretty darn crammed together, but that was known in advance and not uncommon on the ocean. Ocean waves can be LOUD, but we appreciated that. VERY hard to park larger/longer rigs if/when others are parking their TV’s along the road, but nothing I couldn’t manage…. Attendant at the food shop was super rude and in the middle of an argument with someone on speakerphone. Entering the park requires an undoable uturn for most rigs, you want to come in from the south and heading north to enter to avoid the uturn of doom….

We had an amazing 1st time beach camp experience. But there were a couple of negative reviews that I want to give a heads up on. The spaces are tight for the hook up sites , just a heads up for those who have big trailers. And the other con part is the beach access, there’s too many big rocks at the bottom of the stairs that it is hard for seniors/ handicapped people to get to the beach. And there is only a window period of time in the day to go on the beach without getting wet or over thrown by the waves , I wish the beach could be accessible all day through the stairs so we could of gone at anytime of the day instead of when the tides were low only. But at the end it was a learning experience and it was nice to be near the beach and be able to sleep hearing the waves at the same time.
