South Campground is one of three camping areas at Sunset State Beach, offering year-round camping with approximately 30 sites accommodating both tent and RV camping (up to 31 feet).

The campground provides access to beach activities including fishing and windsurfing, with amenities including water, showers, fire rings, and pet-friendly sites, though swimming is hazardous due to dangerous rip currents and frigid water.

Reservations are available through ReserveCalifornia with a maximum 7-day stay and 30-day annual limit across Santa Cruz District campgrounds.
