Camper Bay
Camper Bay is a large campsite on the north side of the creek with expansive pebble beach that can accommodate a lot of hikers. The creek can flood on high tides so be sure to stay up along the tree line or in one of the semi-forested spots along the edge of the tree line to prevent a wet awakening in the middle of the night.
An elevated gravel bar in front of the camp blocks the ocean views and makes for a nice spot to explore but not to camp as you must cross the creek to reach it and could be cut off from the trail should the creek level rise overnight.
