Toured the castle this time also. Nice but not worth $8 each for the tour, $10 to park now. The entire California State Park system fee structure is way out of whack. $35 and $45 a night to camp on the ground with a tent ? Outrageous and needless to say there are plenty of campsites available. Motel 6 - FULL.

Nice spring day without any summer crowds. The water was very cold.
