What others are saying about this campground
Manchester Campground is a rustic and charming spot located just above the driftwood beach on the Northern California coast, within 3 hours of San Francisco. It is a first-come, first-serve campground with no host and no amenities, so visitors must bring their own firewood and supplies. Vault toilets are available, and the sites are well maintained and spacious. Some sites are more exposed to the wind, so visitors should check in with the host to find a more sheltered spot. The campground is within a short walk of the beach, and the views of the valley toward Alder Creek are worthwhile. The campground is also close to the Stornetta National Monument, a seven mile walk along the coastal bluffs. Manchester is a great spot for a peaceful night or a whole week of camping, and is perfect for those looking for a low-stress environment.
