Emma Woods is off the Sea Cliff drive exit off the 101 and a bit hard to find if your not paying close attention. Its right under the overpass of the 101 and adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. Its best if you call the Park to get specific directions. The price per night is $20 with the Pacific Ocean right at the door step of your rig literally.
