CALIFORNIA | MANRESA STATE BEACH

Setting up camp

Setting up camp THE BASICS

There are 64 tent-only sites at Manresa Uplands. Vehicles park away from the sites, so campers must haul gear from the temporary parking/ drop-off area. Reservations can be made at reserveamerica.com with fees of $27.50 per night. There are restrooms, wash basins and coin- operated showers on-site. Firewood can be purchased from the campground host.

DRIVE TIME

Head north on U.S. 101 past Salinas, then go west 14 miles on California 129 toward Watsonville. Head north on California 1 about six miles and exit at Mar Monte Avenue. Turn left on Mar Monte, drive one mile and turn left at San Andreas Road. Drive two miles and turn right at Sand Dollar Drive.
