A good alternative is the Washburn campground of San Simeon SP, two miles north of Cambria. It is called primative, which they define as no flush toilets. The water has been turned off for the last year or so. It is up the hill from the original San Simeon campground which I have found crowded and noisy.

Mid-June 2016 we made reservations for Washburn - got there on a Wednesday, it was 95% non-occupied so lots of open sites to choose from - although the ranger will assign you a site when you check in. The ranger assigned us a very large site, and I was able to park the 35' 5th wheel with no problem. By Friday the campground was almost full - and a 35' 5th wheel might have been issue when trying to find a site it would fit in. Washburn is quieter than below. There was a water filling station below on the main road in the main San Simeon Campground.
You are about 10 miles south of Hearse Castle from this location - and only about 2 miles north of Cambria if you need groceries.
