Refugio State Beach

This is what the coastal campgrounds look like on the weekends in the spring. In the summer they look like this all the time! We were happy to get a site even though it was just for one night. The trailer in the site behind our RV was delivered to the campgrounds by 101 RV Rentals. There are five beach campgrounds that allow people to reserve a campsite then have the rental company deliver a trailer.

The group campsites were full too. 

 The main reason we wanted to visit this park was to walk/roll along the Aniso Trail that goes from Refugio Beach to El Capitan Beach about 5.5 miles out and back. The trail is not in very good condition. Just a short way in we came to this spot where the trail was sliding down the hill. We skirted around it like everyone else.

The trail was a little overgrown but the wildflowers were abundant.

 

Reports say the trail is washed out at the 2 mile mark. We turned at the beginning of a very steep downhill so we never came to the washed out spot but we must have been very close to it. 

 

Due to the steepness of the hills most wheelchair users will need assistance. Campground   34.46316, -120.07013  Trail
