About This Campsite
Manresa Uplands State Beach Campground
Welcome to Manresa Uplands State Beach Campground, a serene camping destination ideal for families, beach lovers, and wildlife enthusiasts. Nestled along the Pacific Coast, this campground offers a tranquil escape with stunning ocean vistas, an expansive beach, and rich, diverse wildlife.
Tips and Considerations
- Beach Access: Be prepared for a bit of a workout as you take a scenic 175-stair descent to reach the beach. It’s well worth it for the incredible views and serene atmosphere by the shoreline.
- Wildlife Encounters: You'll find delight in spotting dolphins, otters, and a variety of wildlife including falcons, squirrels, and even coyotes during your stay. Remember to store your food securely as the squirrels are known to be quite sneaky!
- Amenities: The campground features clean restrooms and quarter-operated hot showers, though the water temperature might be tepid. Don't forget to bring quarters or visit the nearby KOA campground store if you need change.
- Privacy and Space: Some campsites offer more privacy and spectacular ocean views, especially spots like 13, 14, and 15. However, be aware that some sites are closely spaced and can feel crowded.
- Parking and Transport: Consider bringing a wagon or cart. Parking isn't available directly at your campsite, requiring you to unload temporarily and park a short walk away.
