Nice campground right on the water. Be sure to hike the trail down to the beach and explore the tide pools at low tide. Gets busy and sites are hard to come by. Be early or have a reservation.

The one time I camped at Kirk Creek was on a motorcycle ride along the coast road. It was foggy all day and the next morning so there was no view; however, the sound of the waves made for good sleeping.
