What others are saying about this campground
The beach is great, and the park is very clean. Refugio State Beach is a popular campground situated right on the ocean. It is a great spot for transitioning from backpacking to car camping, with private loops and separate shower houses. The sites are flat and have nice shade trees, playgrounds, and of course, easy access to the beach. The area was unfortunately impacted by an oil spill a few years back, so be sure to bring baby oil to help get the tar out of any swimsuits you dont want stained. There is little shade, but the campground is clean and quiet, and the sites are just a quick walk from the sand. The staff runs the place with an iron fist, and the water is potable but doesnt taste very good, so bring plenty of drinking water. The campground fills up quickly on weekends in summer, and the trains and highway traffic can be noisy. There is no RV sanitary dump, but the beach is lovely and the views are spectacular.

From The Campground
Refugio State Beach offers excellent coastal fishing as well as trails and picnic sites. Palm trees planted near Refugio Creek give a distinctive look to the beach and camping area. Lifeguards patrol the beach year around while lifeguard towers are only staffed roughly from Memorial day weekend through Labor day weekend. Beach wheelchairs are available for use by the public at no cost. With this specially designed chair, wheelchair users may access the beach at several locations.
