Lake Nacimiento Camping

Lake Nacimiento's campgrounds are operated by Monterey County Parks. Campsite rates are per vehicle, up to 8 people. Campgrounds are located at the east end of the lake. Most of the remainder of the lake's shoreline is private property.

Sites at a couple of the campgrounds can be reserved, but most are first come, first served. There is one designated group campground (Sandy Point), which also can be reserved.

Most campgrounds have flush toilets and showers, but not all. Oak Knoll Campground has 40 sites with RV hook-ups. Overflow Camping is allowed on the beach, but there are no services supplied.
