    I have mixed feelings about this place. The RV spot itself was beautiful because we landed a spot front and center facing the lake. The views were beautiful, it was quiet and peaceful. Unfortunately I do have more cons then pros. While I had a a perfectly pleasant stay, The RV spots were all aligned one next to the other with barely any room to walk between them. Of course there was room, but there was no sense of privacy. Instead of giving space on the side of each RV for the travelers, space was given at the rear. But the space is limited depending on how long the back of your RV is, because your RV could take up the majority of your outside space. Free canoes and kayaks were advertised when we called ahead of time. But upon arrival, we were informed by other visitors that the majority of them were damaged and unusable. It was for the best, because the lake was absolutely DISGUSTING. Of course, this has nothing to do with the campsite and it's not anyone's fault, just some thing to note. The recreational room was fun, and we spent several hours playing ping-pong here with the family in the evening. Unfortunately, it was not very well-kept though. One paddle was missing and one paddle was falling apart. We actually used a small pan for the other paddle LOL The place looked like it had not been cleaned in a while, with kitchen appliances and dusty utensils lying all over the counters. Bathrooms: spotless!!! I spoke to the custodian who said they were recently renovated, and it shows. They were absolutely pristine, empty every time I went to use them, and very spacious. I ended up showering here instead of in my RV because the water pressure and space was abundant. Overall, this is a great stay if you're planning on staying at your RV and perhaps sitting outside to enjoy the views. Also great if you need some more scenic to spend the night and are planning on going out during the day.

    We rented a "Tiny Home" (a MUNI bus convertion) on AirBnb. It had a comfortable king bed, and a great space to spend a night or two. Aurora is a great RV Park. Mike, the owner/manager supported us via phone. When we arrived late in the evening, he told us where things were and what to do. A woman who worked there greeted us as she was guiding someone in with their RV. My partner and I have been fantasizing about RV life. Our experience at Aurora put a positive taste in our mouths for how nice an RV park can. First, this park is located right on the lake: there is fishing and a place to launch boats. There is a sink that I think is for cleaning fish; there's camping if you wish; and a laundromat. The main thing is that it feels well cared for. Next time we want to glamp in Lake County--we'll probably go there.

    Aurora RV Park was such a great spot to stay. We were greeted by Mike with cupcakes for our kiddos as we parked right next to the lake, we stayed in spot #7. There were kayaks and a paddleboat, which the kids loved. We had full hookup, good wifi, and a table and fire pit right next to the lake. It was quiet, which I was surprised about because the park looked full. There was a large covered grilling area with charcoal and lighter fluid available for use. On-site laundry. The spots are on the smaller size, we had to unhook our truck from the trailer (we only stayed one night), but the spots are divided clearing and numbered with cute planters.

    Thanks to the owner, Mike, our family had a very memorable weekend celebrating my son's 18th birthday. He brought a frosted birthday cake, hats and bubble wands on the night of arrival. Throughout our stay, he was just a call/text away with swift responses to inquiries about WiFi and firewood. The location is great for fishermen (there was a bass tourney 9 miles up the road). My boys caught loads of bluegill, multiple bass (largest 3.74lb), and a humongous catfish (12lb, 29in). The Aurora offers free use of their canoes and kayaks. We brought our dogs' life jackets, planning on going for a paddle, but we were too busy pulling up fish! Sunrise on the lake is epic. Wildlife spotting is amazing as well... we saw flocks of pelicans, statuesque egrets, Great Blue Herons, and deer sipping from the water. On the day of checkout, Mike also delivered a huge bowl of fruit and freshly baked chocolate chip brunch cake. We are already making plans to return!

    Beautiful sunsets

    Staying here through Airbnb with Mike. Fishing spot here is legit. We hooked on a total of five fish in 3 hours: catfish and bass! Mike is awesome and very knowledgeable and open to any questions you have. There are tents already provided and the campsite is spotless! Best part was the kayaks which are fair use after sunrise to before sunset!

    Amazing RV park! EVERYTHING IS PERFECT Whenever I have had an issue, because I'm not an experienced camper, they respond right away and go above and beyond. Great customer service.

    We arrived arrived around 9 pm. Mike, the owner, came out to greet us and showed us to our tent. We camped on the "rv" side of the campground, which worked out pretty nicely for us. The tent was set up and clean inside. It was a great quality. We got our bed mats and air mattress set up and tucked in after a short walk about and gazing up at the Milky Way. The night sky here is magnificent. The grounds are stunning. There is a picnic area near the beach with a few little tables and a large grill set in stone. The tables are sheltered from the sun by a pergola covered in grapevines. This area is above the waterline; if you walk out to the far corner you have a scenic view of the entire lake. There are trees all over that provide shade to most of the tables and benches around the property. There's also a park right next to the property with a playground and a pier. As a guest, you are welcome to use any one of their water craft during business hours. They have 2 canoes, 2 sit-in kayaks, and a sit-on kayak. There's also a paddle boat that I think you can borrow. They provide life jackets free of charge, as well. Jet skis are available to rent hourly. Guests receive a 10% discount for every night up to 50% off. We definitely took advantage and it was a blast! There is a decent sized rec room with a very large 2 basin sink, a mini fridge, and a small microwave for use. There's also a ping pong table, a couch, beanbag, loveseat, bookshelf full of books and magazines, as well as some workout equipment. Even at the end stages of their remodel construction, the ladies bathroom was immaculate. The men's restroom looked clean; the only small issue is that the urinals don't flush (or so I was told by our 10 year old boy) so it was smelly in there. The view of the lake is superb. Every single person who worked on the property was not only friendly and helpful but went above and beyond to make sure that every single guest felt welcome. I guess spending your days in such a beautiful place is really good for the soul because everybody was incredible! (Not just with us, I witnessed it with all of the other guests as well.) A fire broke out on the hill behind the RV Park and one of the employees immediately ran out with a hose and started soaking the grass and area surrounding the RV park to protect their guests' property and homes. The fire department came quickly and made light work of the fire before it had a chance to spread. (*As a reminder that we are in California and it is dry!) We felt very safe seeing how fast everything was taken care of and that Deborah went above and beyond to ensure the safety of the guests. Mike, Deborah, Jimmy, and Jackie made this the best trip we've had! Thank you all.

    Our tiny thanksgiving holiday was perfect because of this gem we found. We arrived thanksgiving day and stayed for two nights. We have been to many rv parks in the two months we've been on the road, and this was the most memorable and best stay of our entire vacation. The best part is that this place was the last one we would stay at before we concluded our vacation. Mike the owner really made us feel like family as soon as we got to his resort. He gave us a fascinating tour and history of the property and lake. He shared sweets he freshly baked and helped us feel like special family on thanksgiving. I was really touched since we could not be with ours. He is a super sweet warm host, and we always saw him working hard to make sure everyone was happy and his property looked top notch. Our neighbors were also so friendly and seemed like they were repeat guests. There is not much to do in town, however we were satisfied with relaxing with the view and wildlife that was in abundance at this resort. Thank you Mike for such an awesome stay!

    Not sure why people who are NOT staying at the hotel are putting bad reviews about the hotel…read more First of all, we showed up two hours early and we were immediately accommodated, no questions asked. Jeremy was extremely kind and helpful with all the information regarding the hotel and boat launch/marina. Our room was perfect, bottom floor, right outside of the front desk area. We were able to launch our boat for free with a slip. King size bed was comfortable, and room had all the amenities. The restaurant is DELICIOUS for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In our 4 day stay, we never had a bad meal. Even tried the arcade and Little Caesars, kind staff continued. The pool was a great addition as the lake water was not very inviting. My only complaint has NOTHING to do with the hotel but the marina. Jeremy told us the marina and the hotel are separate. Day 3 of our stay, Saturday, there was to be a concert. Awesome, we love music. We had friends coming into town that afternoon to celebrate my husband's bday and take out their new boat. Well that afternoon, we walked to the boat launch, it has vendors in front of it. We asked the marina staff why they are blocking it, the two ladies didn't apologize or even look up at us, just said "oh yeah, it's been closed all day for the concert." We asked why we were not told, what if we planned on taking our boat out that night after fishing, they replied "well it's closed." Went to the hotel, again Jeremy and his kindness asked security to speak to management and that next time the hotel needs to be notified so they can tell hotel guests. Even a bloody sign at the launch would have been more help than the rude marina staff. Overall, this place is amazing. Very very friendly staff. Always accommodating and kind. We will stay here again.

    Let me start with, "I read too many bad reviews" of this place. To set the record straight - this…read moreplace is nice and cozy. As they say "a picture is worth a thousand words" observe mine attached. The check-in was painless, (no problem what so ever), after three full days and I'm still here writing this review. Staff has been above and beyond nice/kind all that I have made contact with. As you can see, the place isn't crowed at all, and they haven't said a word about taking two sites, visitors parking next to the site we're in, no extra car fees...none of that nonsense. I will post later, I haven't entered the restroom, Laundry Room of exercise room, I will post later. Being in my RV, I don't need to use the restrooms or showers, I have the amenities inside the rig!!! In short, if you're in the area, please stop by and check this place out.

    Ocean Cove is an amazing place to make the drive to and camp for a weekend, a week, or even a…read moreholiday. Yes, the campground gets packed during holiday weekends--but leaving a 1-star review because a popular campground is full makes absolutely no sense . During busy weekends, the campground fills up quickly with campers enjoying their trips with family and friends. If you show up late to a popular campground during a holiday expecting an empty spot to magically be waiting for you, that might be a planning problem--not an Ocean Cove problem . The campground itself is absolutely beautiful. You get insane, million-dollar ocean views, gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, and a great forest trail to walk through. Eventually, you'll find another incredible ocean-view spot known by many as "Service Rock" --usually where people end up trying to catch some service when there isn't much around the campground. One of my favorite things about Ocean Cove is the people. You meet so many friendly people, randomly start conversations, and easily make new friends. It has a real camping atmosphere that keeps people coming back. Now, some of these 1-star reviews are honestly wild . Someone said the cliffs are dangerous and Ocean Cove needs to fence off the entire campground. Absolutely not. This is a natural coastal campground with cliffs. Parents are responsible for watching their children, and adults are responsible for paying attention to their surroundings. We don't need to fence off one of the most beautiful parts of the campground because somebody forgot that cliffs are, in fact, dangerous . Then there are complaints about the honey buckets. During busy weekends, there are a LOT of people using them. The staff can maintain them, but they can't clean them every 10 seconds . Have realistic expectations. Complaining that Ocean Cove is too expensive is also crazy. Maintaining a campground, paying employees, and keeping a business running costs money. What do people expect--an incredible campground on the California coast with insane ocean views for $10 a night forever? Ocean Cove is worth the money. And the complaints about it being "overly crowded"... seriously? What do you expect during a busy weekend--an empty campground? If the place is packed, that should tell you something: people love coming here. The people working here also deserve recognition. Matt in the store is an awesome guy--friendly, easy to talk to, and always cool. 10/10. Joe is also a great and helpful guy. And Joe and Louise around the campground are both incredibly kind and friendly with a great sense of humor. Just understand: if you give them shit, you're probably going to get shit right back . And lastly: OYSTER DIVE! I don't care what anybody says--those oysters are BOMB. Fresh, cleaned on the spot, freshly grilled, and the sauces are absolutely fire. 11/10. Broke the scale. They never get old, and buying a dozen--or several--is always worth it . Overall, Ocean Cove is a phenomenal place to camp. Incredible ocean views, sunsets, forest trails, great people, amazing employees, and some seriously good food. To the people leaving 1-star reviews because the campground was busy during a holiday, because they expected every cliff to be fenced off, or because a busy employee didn't stare directly into their soul when they walked into the store: respectfully, maybe Ocean Cove just isn't for you . For everyone else who enjoys nature, camping, incredible views, good people, and having a great time--Ocean Cove is absolutely worth the drive and worth every dollar. Ocean Cove NEEDS to stay in business FOREVER and continue being passed down through generations! 10/10. Every. Single. Time.

    I've been camping at Ocean Cove Campground for years, and it remains one of my absolute favorite…read morecoastal escapes in Northern California. If you want front-row seats to the Pacific, this is the spot. The campsite sits right up on the bluffs, offering raw, panoramic views of the ocean, dramatic cliffs, and incredible sunsets. There's nothing quite like falling asleep to the sound of crashing waves and waking up with a cup of hot coffee while looking out for sea life down in the coves. First-Come, First-Served: So if you're aiming for a prime oceanfront spot on the bluff edge, plan to arrive early in the day--especially on weekends. Rustic Vibe - It's dry camping (port-a-potties, no hookups), but the stunning location and open layout make it worth every bit. The family-run general store makes stocking up super easy if you run low on firewood, ice, or snacks. It's laid-back, beautiful, and keeps me coming back season after season. Highly recommended if you're looking for proper cliffside coastal camping.
