Apr 09, 2018We have camped at San Simeon dozens of times. We prefer to go up on top to the Washburn Campground. It is quieter and and the view is better. Follow the sign at the bottom of the hill from the entrance station to Sites 201-268. If there is a tsunami, your chances are much better up there. Be sure if you are going to be there for a bit, check out Moonstone Beach, Cambria and grab a bite at Sebastians on San Simeon Rd. Locals know where it is. North of San Simeon toward Piedra Blanca Light Station is the Elephant Seal beach.
