Alder Camp is less than two miles from the coast. You need a reservation and spots are first come first served. Many use Alder as an final stop on the Skyline-to-the-Sea Trail, but you can also park in a lot near the coast and hike/bike in from Hwy 1. (You might have to open and close the gate at Hwy 1 to access the parking lot.)
Several of the spots are very close together and not very private. Fires are not allowed. There is no drinking water available. There are trash cans and a pit toilet. There are no tables. Bear boxes are available. See my panorama accompanying this Google Maps listing to get a feel.
The creek runs along the campground and is easily accessible. There’s a clearing between several sites where stargazing is very possible on clear nights. Sites close to the pit toilet might have to deal with that smell.
At least during dry weather, the ground is very dusty. In some places it’s so deep that it’s almost like you’re at the beach. This was perhaps the most significant downside to this campground.
Note that Twin Redwoods campground is extremely close to Alder. Just a few minutes walk. Before leaving Alder I looked at Twin Redwoods and it seemed superior in terms of campsite spacing and privacy.
Campsites are fairly small and close together, but each has a beat box. BEWARE OF THE POISON OAK AT THE CAMPSITES. There are also bathrooms (which were clean) and trashcans/recycling. If you are coming from the skyline to sea trail STAY STRAIGHT after twin redwoods camp. The sign makes it look like hikers should go off to the right, but keep left/straight on the trail and it's right there. No signs pointing you to it. If you didn't leave a shuttle car, santa cruz taxi service runs to waddell beach. The waddell beach bus is no longer in service.
