Flick,
That is a special place in Ventura County, no reservations just catch as catch can. This time of year much easier 1st of the week to midweek but after that it does get much harder. We talked to some campers last year that had the same spot for the entire summer, they just called the next in line to let them know when they we leaving and so on.
We had talked with Clarke about the Parkway but didn't find this place until we were on our way home from Morro Bay. Now we always try to stop here on way home from Morro Bay. It is a great place to spend the night or two with restrictions to length of stay by the time of year (5 days in Summer and 14 days in winter) and it looks like it is now $28.00/Night. Dry-Camping but the views are fantastic and most spaces have easy beach access.

I just looked and the Diesel is at $2.59/Gallon in Hemet, CA. If it gets much lower we are going to fill up and do some tripping!
