Beachfront parking
Address: Crescent City, California
Cost: Free
About
Lots of these parking lots line the beachfront and they all have signs forbidding camping. This spot didn’t have any signage and we were able to stay overnight without a problem. It’s not very secluded and you’ll hear cars driving around as Crescent doesn’t seem to be a remote area. There’s also beach vacation rentals up the street which is what I think people are driving to late at night.
Anyhow, I was able to stay overnight on a Summer Saturday / Father’s Day weekend and it was totally legit. I even saw campers down on the water getting away with lighting camp fires. I don’t recommend it but it seems like they got away with it.
