One of our favorite campgrounds in all the world. Went here for the first time when we got married in 1981.

We stayed here for a single night on a coastal drive in the van. Referred by family who have stayed here numerous times in the past, we were hopeful they knew what they were talking about. It was late - very late - in the season, so most spots were available. We just happened to snatch up one of the best ones, right on the edge of the bluff, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Quiet (this time of the year) and well kept, we couldn't have asked for anything more. Views were amazing, and the nature trail hit the spot for a morning hike with the dogs.

Having no reservation for campgrounds n the CA coast in summer severely limits the possibilities but luckily I had come across both Ocean Cove and Timber Cove during a search and decided to gamble on Ocean Cove since they did not take reservations and our plans were fluid. All of these are good reasons for checking out Ocean Cove but the campground is the best one.
It IS 17 miles north of Jenner on the winding twisting Rte 1, there is no cell reception and most of the sites are not very level when your rig is longe than about 25 ft but it is beautiful.
There are 2 group sites for which they b take reservations and they are the closest to the road. There are two sites for single sites, tents and RVS mixed. One is closer to the road but protected from ocean breezes the other is literally on the bluff overlooking the ocean and is beautiful. There are two very choice spots that are on the edge but any of the others have great views. It is essentially a big field with fire rings and picnic tables scattered about and the only rule is that you need to set up next to one set. That is where leveling a rig comes in bUT there was a variety of types and sizes and all of us were level with varying numbers of blocks. The Ocean Cove store is on the right as you come around a corner. To register, pull into the large parking area/camp entrance across the road (on the left)and go into the store to register.
There is water but no electricity. People run generators for brief periods usually at eal time but the noise was not a problem. We have solar and the gorgeous, sunny blue skied days recharged our batteries completely every day. There are coin showers, $2; the Ocean Cove store has essentials plus other stuff and will let you use their land line phone if you need to make a call; the toilets are Portalets but clean. The CG in summer (they are open Apr- Dec) fills up for weekends starting Thurs but even then there were a few spots. (One guest from Santa Rosa had driven up stopping at every single CG from there to OC and it was the first one with openings.) There is a boat ramp ($8 charge if the boat is on a trailer) and many of the guests go fishing. Stillwater Cove State Park abuts the CG with lovely walking trails along the ocean or inland a bit through groves of trees and wildflowers. There is one point in the park that juts out into the water where people said there is cell reception. (Both Verizon and ATT) other than that area there is a spot about 7 miles north- a turnout with a phone box, that had reception and further up the road in Stewart's Point we had Verizon and ATT (2-3 bars) further still in Sea Ranch. (There is NONE in Jenner)
They are very dog friendly and the park allows dogs on the trails. We saw several well controlled ones off leash.
There are a number of places to visit near here, wineries, Fort Ross (Russian settlement in the 19th century and we'll worth a visit- only open until 4pm though unless you just want to enjoy the park which closes at sundown) and all the little towns. Jenner is at the mouth of the Russian River and has SUP rentals and a seal sanctuary. Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, Guerneville, Forestville are all within an hour's drive.
During our stay in July, and the owners said it was pretty typical all the time, Ocean Cove had no fog, no clouds and a breeze. A drive north or south could be in coastal fog while OC was clear. Inland was beastly hot and Ocean Cove was comfortably cool. The sunsets are beautiful, the waves crashing to shore below, the birds and the beauty are unbeatable. This is a great place to stay for a visit to the coast.
Oh, as to our other possible choice-Timber Cove- so glad we chose Ocean Cove. As we drove by we noticed the sites at Timber Cove were so close together that people could not have their awnings out. No privacy, no space.
