Description:
Chalk peak car campground is located above Highway 1 off Nacimiento-Ferguson Rd out the unpaved South Coast Ridge Road. The campground is just off the road on the north side. There are not great views from camp but there are great views nearby. Chalk Peak is accessible by high clearance vehicles but expect the roads to either be muddy in the winter/spring or dusty the rest of the year.

Be wary of the path off the road, especially after rain. Except for the cars passing by this was a beautiful campsite brimming with life.
