It is a little more than an hour north, but Isn't there a pretty nice, coastal campground at PP? I can't really remember, but I think there are some nice coastal campgrounds up north if you like beaches. You would have to go North to go South but it might be a nice change from Central CA
we used to camp there all the time when i was growing up. we stopped there back in 2010 on our way to IRG it was almost $50 a night to camp and no rv hook ups and a mile walk to the beach down a steep trail other than that it is a nice campground but you will need to make reservations because only half the campground is open , and it fills up fast in the smmer
