Sunset State Beach offers 91 campsites in three loops accommodating tents, trailers, and RVs (up to 31 feet), with dedicated hike/bike campsites available year-round on a bluff overlooking Monterey Bay.

Amenities include drinking water, flush toilets, showers, and a dump station ($10 at nearby New Brighton State Beach), though there are no RV hookups.

The location provides excellent access for beach activities including surf fishing, kayaking, windsurfing, and hiking through sand dunes, with good cell service and leashed dogs permitted in the campground.
