I found some detailed information on beach campgrounds in the
_California_Coastal_Access_Guide_, third edition, 1983, Univ. of Calif.
Press. If you can find a more recent edition in a library, I'm sure it
would be a great reference.
I also have the _Official_Guide_to_California _State_Parks, 1992 edition.
It is published by the California Department of Parks & Recreation. It
says, for info on state parks, call 916-653-6995. For info on state park
publications, call 653-4000. For state park reservations and reservation
information, call MISTIX at 800-444-7275.
