READ BEFORE BOOKING.
In summary, absolutely great location BUT prepare for very poorly maintained facilities, war zone encampment looking tents and cabins so dirty that they have bats inside. Finally and add at least $160 of transportation to your trip as they have close to a monopoly of transportation to White landings (unless you rent a car or a boat)
Pros: the most amazing sandy beach -almost private- in between and the Balboa and Balboa Yatch club beach club.
Surrounded by nature, trailheads, and beautiful clear water to swim, snorkeling or just enjoy
No crowds, in fact is a 45 drive to get to the beach or a 10min boat ride. Only people you would see are Yatch owners coming to shore to the beach clubs or to walk their dogs or hike.
Cons:
Cabin has no locks, beds are terrible and very dirty and dusty, ours had a paint patch work, a hole in the ceiling that was covered w tape and there were BATS. The neighboring cabins didn’t look any different. We in fact chose the better looking one.
No outlets in the rooms, gotta connect in the kitchen that closes at night.
Food/ Water Absolutely no real food for purchase so plan ahead, just frozen food type items.
Water tastes really bad and the closest spigot is about a mile away being filters if you plan to drink their tap water
Transportation: unless you find other providers, add at least $160 for transportation which could be thru car (prepare for a 40min ride in a 1998 Expedition that has never been washed/detailed, for the looks of it) or 10 min by boat (which is a very good experience)
Bathrooms: they are 1/4mile from the cabins, toilets and stalls are kids size (hard to sit with door closed, I’m 5’3”), there are weeds growing from the toilet and everywhere around the toilet. Water runs super slow and little flow, no soap, And showers had the same plants growing inside so we didn’t use at all.
