This was our first ti.e camping here. There are 3 different types of campsites: regular, premium, RV hookup. We went with the regular site for $35. It wasnt bad.We had to move the wooden picnic table so our tent could fit on the grassy area and not on the concrete driveway.. so thats a negative.We got to hear the ocean all day/night long!!

A great beach away from the tourist crowd. It is also generally warmer the the other beaches because it is sheltered from the wind. You can take a long walk with your dog all the way down to shipwreck.

Beautiful, tranquil, lots of space between camp sites

Great location. Great view of the beach and ocean. Large to small campsites. Clean restrooms and showers. Weather was pleasant. Loved the atmosphere.

Beautiful bring the family memories are made in parks like this!

This place is gorgeous. Spots are big enough to where you dont feel like you are camping in a subdivision. Would give them 5 stars, but one of the volunteers that staff the gate was rude enough to my girlfriend (outside my presence) that I was sorely tempted to go have a discussion about customer service with him. Also, would not want to have a dog here. Massive hedges of poison oak everywhere (see pic)

Beautiful, quiet little beach without many people. Not too many eating places or facilities nearby though, and bathrooms

Beautiful views, ocean access and very nice park

Beautiful area, great staff, host was very friendly. Our sites were big and plenty of room for our vehicles.It was a little confusing at first to find our sites, but once we were settled, we realized how easy it is to get around the campground.Views of the ocean are extremely beautiful. Wish we could have stayed longer than a night, next time.

Simply beautiful. Great campgrounds above beach. A great place.

It is beautiful here. I love the beach.

Have been enjoying this park for over 20 years. Love the ocean and the woods. Not a long ride from home either.

Great campground, large camp sites and the beach nearby. The view from the sites near the beach is also quite nice!

I really like New Brighton its close to the beach you feel like youre in the Redwoods what a combination I must see

Beautiful views, must stay on the premium sites on the cliffs you get a large area you your rv with views and soundsThe rest of the sites not as impresive.

It is a beautiful campground. Lots of sites for all campers from RVs to tents. Clean restrooms. Clesn sites. Walking path to the beach.

One of the best beaches around. And if you like to walk or jog then this is a must see. You can walk for 3 miles

Beautiful and clean beach. :)

Its a camping sight. Whats not to love? Its right off of the beach. The camping sights are separated enough so that they are semi private the restrooms were really close to ours and access to water was off a few feet off of our campsite. I really enjoyed my stay.

Little fog but this place is great

Feels secluded but not really..not as crowded as its neighbor Capitola Beach

Peaceful, love hearing the waves from the campsite. Wish there were more hookups, but for the same price I would take a premium site any day. If I could get one.

It looks like a nice place to camp. Looking forward to trying it this summer

Great beach to take your family out. Can be a bit crowded so get there earlier in the day. Good restrooms and a fountain where you can rinse the sand and saltwater off.

Its very much rustic. Quiet with private campsites. Lots of greenery between the campsites. And a small hike 2A private beach

Excellent

New Brighton is an okay Beach but if Im going to go to the beach Im going to go to Rio del Mar esplanade.its really the same Beach but it is more to the center of the area and there are services there like a restaurant, a coffee shop, a bar and a deli and lots of parking. Plus you have the choice of walking on the beach or taking the 1-mile pathway adjacent to the Beach to the right. Facing the ocean you can drive down to the left to the extension Beach and past that there is no enforcement for dog leash rules and you can walk for miles down to seascape & beyond.

The best of both worlds... camping and the beach! Kids love it here... hanging out with childhood friends.

Great family beach! We had a wonderful time and it comes complete with clean restrooms and a much needed rinse station.

Its a state park great drills wonderful beach

Havent stayed here just come through to check it out looks like a very nice promising place also a campsite topside hill beach below so perfect for the campers

Good walking beach with parking and public bathrooms. Good food with ocean view across the street. Relax and enjoy rain or shine.

Clean and Dog friendly. A perfect way to spend the day on the northern coast of California

Tent camper in a premium bluff site across from me was using a porta-pottie in their tent. Saw them dump their human waste over the fence down the bluff 4 times in two days.Generators running till 1030pm. Be ready for typical summer campers with no respect for park or their neighbors.General maintenance is worst Ive seen in last 15 years. Restrooms look like they havent been cleaned in 6 months. Toilets and sinks are full of black mold. Bottoms of toilet seats caked with feces. I was here 7 weeks ago and its gotten worse.Bring what you need to prevent infectious diseases..beach is nice.

Great venue. Ca parks deot. Needs to do. better job of maintaining park. Lots of repairs needed!!.

Lovely views of the ocean from the bluff nice large campsite a hundred sites just plan early to get a site 6 months out always sells out

Hot pay showers, clean well tended park but dont show up until 2pm if youre camping they will not let you into the campground.

One of the prettiest state beach parks in Santa Cruz

OK Beach and campground. Absolutely no shade on the beach and very long walk to go back to camp.

Are favorite place to camp.

Like being in the country with forest trees except your in Santa Cruz county. Capitola is short stroll, maybe 1mile. The village is a nice destination AND theres several bars and restaurants. Bench seating on the strand, surfing and even a wading pool for the younguns. For RVers like us, you can empty your tanks. No store on premises.

The park rangers have a horrible attitude. My RV broke down and they act like I can just snap my fingers and it’s fixed. I wish it worked that way otherwise they wouldn’t have been yelling at me like it was an intentional breakdown threatening to have it towed. Umm..I already tried that but it’s too big for the company AAA contracts with in this area and I’m not about to spend a fortune I do not have when we were fixing it. Sorry for the inconvenience. Otherwise it’s a nice, quiet place that’s beautiful.

Quite during the week but the bathroom needs tending too dirty!!

50 dollar premium sites, no lawn keeping. 50 cents for 2 minute showers. (The shower was nice, but...) Ive been at campsites way nicer for 20 dollars.

Great beach with shaded camp area

Sunny! Gorgeous day. Beautiful camp.

Nice campsite. 10 minutes walk to beach. Prepare to be super cold at night. Ocean wind is strong at night.

Its a great place to camp! Unfortunately, their trees there got a disease, which left lots of open spaces and virtually no privacy for campers.

Great glamping

Little over cast perfect Temp

Campgrouns are OK but the beach and views are worth it if you reserve way in advance

Nice Cali state park with a really nice private beach. I would visit this park again for sure!

Love taking my family and dog here. Usually go down beach a little ways so I can let the dog off leash and not be stuck in the crowed.

Amazing site with bathrooms right next door. Along with ample parking, wonderful views of the beach, and big site spots

Beautiful family beach! Nice, clean campground!Good music at the fireside!

The park ranger was extremely rude the one with the blue hair

Best get away

Premium campsites are great!

Beautiful beach

Great place to camp

Raw beauty.

Excellent location, just some occasional bad bathrooms in the park

I stayed at the campsite and it is already one of our favorite spots. If you visit in July, do not miss the opportunity to pick the blackberries at the campsite.

Great camp site with good sites and okay bathrooms. Theres a great ocean outlook as well.

Great family camp ground.

I wish California put more time into their state parks

Beautiful place

Nice Stay

Fabulous!

Clean beach
