Yep, been there...... Haven't spent the night there, though. I usually just stealth camp in that part of the state. There are a couple of choice pull outs on the lighthouse road. The Usal road between Rockport and Honeydew has many stealthy pullouts that are high up on the cliffs with wonderful views of the Pacific. Beware if taking the Usal North, as it is a rough road for a bus, and the descent in to Honeydew is really steep and loose..... You need to have good tires, and your brakes in perfect working order for that hill. I went down that grade in a really heavy rainstorm once, and had some scary brake fade and slide-age on the muddy road. (I was in first gear.) I even had to cut a fallen tree with an axe to get through. Was an exciting adventure for sure! The North Coast of California, is a great place to take your bus. I go there often.
