Getting Outdoors
Sunset State Beach is made up of glorious stretches of golden sands followed by rolling dunes. If you have a fishing license, one of the most popular activities is throwing out a line and trying to catch perch and sardines. In the dunes, there is a remote-control glider port where enthusiasts come and send their creations into the air. Even if you don't have one yourself, watching the model crafts flying above the beach can be great fun.
Camping at Sunset State Beach
In total Sunset State Beach offers over 70 RV sites to make use of, making it perfect for state park RV camping, all of which allow visitors to make use of the fire rings, picnic tables, grills, and food storage lockers.

Steffen is a responsive host and makes sure the van is prepared with water, propane, etc. I used it for a meditation retreat so wasn't moving around a lot but driving it to the retreat center was a breeze and it met all of my needs while on the retreat.

Katie was super friendly, this was our first time renting an RV from Outdoorsy. She was very patient with us, explained everything, showed how to operate the controls. Will rent again.
