Francis Beach Campground

Beautiful ocean views and beaches. Nice campground with restrooms and showers. It gets very windy and cold at night. Wonderful walking/biking on the Coastal Trail which goes through the campground and travels both north and south.

I had the opportunity to camp here a few weeks ago and loved every moment! There were lots of RV campers while we did the traditional tent and car. Our group were in sites #13 and #14 if I'm not mistaken, and are a close but also a good distance away from the bathrooms as well as right in front of the bike paths. There is a small visitor entrance by the front before you enter and a day use parking lot for day visitors. It's a $10 parking fee. From what I caught of the remaining sunset light, it is so beautiful. The wildflowers are amazing. I'm glad we went before it was too hot, so there were basically no bugs. Since it's close to the beach, it's very windy so definitely bundle up for those chilly nights. I could hear the ocean every night which was so soothing and also helped knock me out lol. Camping is one of my favorite activities and I'm so grateful to be able to go this year. Have fun, remember to pack out what you bring in and leave no trace, respect wildlife and stay present. Happy camping!

Back in town after some 38 years. Really nice setting, helpful staff and we got the last place - electicity only, which is fine - for handicapped after just a short time on the waiting list. Shower is 50c for 2 min.

Beautiful beach, strict rules for camping, such as coming and going times. Parking lot gets very busy in the evening especially near sunset.

Super cute RV park-ish campground. A couple people did have tents but it’s mostly an RV park. The best sites back up to the ocean and each has its own sandy path to the beach and its own little sandy area at the top of the hill to put chairs that overlooks the ocean and sunset.

Such a beautiful location, easy access to beach and there are showers and flushable toilets! Most of the campsites are designed for RVs but work great for tent camping as well. They have running water, picnic table and fire pit. Do carry cash if you want firewood from the camp host, it was $15 when we visited. But also this campsite is in 6 min driving distance to Safeway, so easy to get firewood or anything you forgot from there. Sunset walk along the beach was our favorite. Also biking the half moon bay trail, oh so gorgeous! Can’t wait to camp here again

This is a public beach with ample picnic tables. It also has campground. Parking is $10.00 for day use to the beach. I walked by the water side and reach poplar beach…
