  1. Can I bring my own, portable fire pit to the campground?

    • Hi Becky,
      Not sure if you can, usually campgrounds allows it if it is a self contained fire pit. I recommend you call Bosla Chica State Beach directly at: 714 846-3460

  2. Mellody says:

    Are bathrooms open 24 hours and any indoor showers?

  3. Lizette Tirado says:

    Do you allow tent over the trucks for sleeping

  4. Annabel Alford says:

    It is NORTH of Huntington pier, not south.

  5. Do I have to make a reservation before the day I’m going

    • Hi Sissi,
      Pretty sure ReserveCalifornia doesn’t allow for day before reservations but you can give it a try. If there is availability at Bolsa Chica State Park you will be able to camp there w/o a reservation.

  6. frankie dixon says:

    Can you “camp” in your suv?

  7. Does anyone know if there is a dishwashing sink at the bathrooms at Bolsa Chica?

    • There is no dishwashing sink, but there are two bathroom-like sinks with “push button” water faucets.

  8. It says the front row spots are 25’ max for trailers. Does that include the hitch? Or just the trailer itself?
