Cedar to Surf Campground — Reviews

It’s such a perfect spot to spend time on that amazing beach

Nice site, clear amenities, good time

The campground is clean and very quiet. Easy access to the beach. Check in was easy, too.

Looks like it was nice at one time. Needs some upkeep such as painting, yard work etc.

The park is quiet and away from the tourists in Long Beach, but not so far away you can’t go into town. We had 3 dune sites and a cabin for a friends getaway. It’s a very easy walk to the beach. We had a great time. The gal who runs the park runs it by the rules, but is very nice about it and accommodating. We are scheduling the same sites and cabin for next year!

Nothing fancy, but great location, nice hosts, great beach access, was everything I needed, and I was able to make a reservation short notice.

Friendly staff and great location.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience for our stay at Cedar to Surf. ****FYI*****leaving poor reviews for a campground because YOU don't want to respect the rules and the other campers peace, reflects poorly on YOU as a human being and perhaps you should reflect on that instead of trying to damage the reputation of a small business and sweet couple that is trying so hard to build a lovely getaway.**** Our stay started out with us coming in late. The communication with the staff was excellent, I reached out via email as we were traveling and ran into soooo many delays from road construction and traffic backups and we ended up getting in about 7:20 p.m. Al in the front office stayed late and popped out with a friendly smile and a wave as soon as we pulled up. She was very clear in her directions, and they were so kind as to cone off a spot for us to park our trailer after unloading our Harley. The campsite itself was fine, we reserved one of the wider spots that backed up to a wooded area. There is a nice picnic table (the lifetime style, not a wooden or metal one, which is nice and easy to move) and the sites are pretty easy to tell the boundaries due to the layout of the hookups, plus the signs on the fence are easy to read. The morning after we checked in we discovered our Harley had a dead battery and of course we left the battery charger at home. The owners, who are SO very helpful, offered us a charger to use, and then when it was not compatible, offered arrangements to get into town to Napa. That arrangement didn't work out, but at their recommendation, we were able to take the Pacific Transit bus (which is FREE!!!) into town, get what we needed and back to the campground. Very helpful and a great resource to have the bus running through the area. The trail to the beach is lovely, it would be even nicer if people wouldn't leave their dogs poop bags scattered along the trail, but sadly, some people just have no decency and feel like they need to leave their messes for others to clean up. (Probably the same people who let their dogs poop in the campground and just left it. ) Facilities-wise, we did not use the rec room or clam/fish cleaning rooms, so I don't know how they are. The laundry is basic, again, did not use that facility so I don't have much to say about that. We did use the bathrooms, which are also somewhat basic, they are a little dated and worn but they are nice and clean and you can tell they are trying to make them as nice as possible with what is there. The ladies has 2 stalls with toilets and a single shower, as well as 2 sinks. Hubby said the mens room has a urinal stall, a toilet stall, and a single shower as well. The "communal" campfire pit near the rec room is nice, if that is your sorta thing, and they just finished another campfire pit near the entrance by the game field, which again, if that is your thing it is great. It's not for us so we did not use them. The campground is not very large, so if you are looking for a place where your neighbors are far away, this might not be the right fit for you. It is not nearly as smooshed together as some of the rv parks we saw going thru town, but it is a cozy little place. We truly enjoyed our stay and I look forward to returning for another one. We had our 3 large dogs with us, and the owners and other staff were very welcoming, and as long as your dogs aren't running free and barking incessantly, they are a definite dog-friendly park. That is something the lady 2 sites down should have noted when they made their reservation, since she didn't seem to like "people and their stupid dogs" being on the trail going to the beach. All in all, we really liked this campground. Read the rules, follow the rules, and you will have a great time. Keep your kids and dogs under control, and enjoy the excellent location, and happy camping!

Very quiet and enjoyed watching the deer walking past the campsite. Also easy walk to the beach.

Amazing close to the beach path all new hook ups friendly staff

Great place to stay. Nice to see an owner, and host care about the place. Clean bathrooms, and showers. Would be nice to have toilet seat covers. Will be back.

Friendly staff and a great environment and relaxing. We will be back.

Great hosts. Beautiful location. Within walking distance from the beach.

Love the beach walk and the amenities of the park. Great stop for a night or 2 on the road trip.

The camp hostess was very informative and helpful. We walked along the beautiful dunes to the massive soft sandy beach. Eventhough it was raining most of our visit, the campground was very pleasant. Bathrooms clean, recreation room was helpful for dish cleaning, and the campground had fun games to play.

Really close to the beach, sites were easy to navigate. They run a tight ship and it’s nice. It was further out from Long Beach than we expected, but ended up loving that the beach itself wasn’t over crowded.
