The wildlife is pretty and I enjoyed the bonfire. Port-a-potties are the only restrooms, so brace yourself.

The campground was clean and the host was helpful, but the only bathrooms were 4 porta-potties. Thankfully, they were well-maintained and surprisingly clean. The campsites were spaced apart nicely, which was a big difference from the nearby campgrounds where the sites were packed tightly together. The Santa Ynez River swimming holes are most easily accessed via the Red Rock/Gibraltar Dam trail, but you'll have to drive there from the campsite and pay $10 to get in. If it's a weekend day, be sure to get into Red Rock before 12 pm; the second day the rangers were turning everyone away or telling them to hike in or around to find other water access. Be wary! It's a 5-mile hike to the Red Rock trailhead from the entrance, and the road is narrow and dangerous (obviously not meant for hikers). The next day we got there early and drove in. It was extremely crowded and we had to hike about 1.5 mi to get to a swimming hole that wasn't packed with people. But, it was totally worth it! The river and mountains are beautiful, and the weather was wonderful. I would definitely go again.

Fremont is a great campground, with lots of open space and trees. We will assuredly be back.

The fact that the site is across from a ranch means that the amount of flies is almost unbearable even with bug spray and candles. This site is also extremely dusty. The only decent part of the trip is that the camp sights are spread far enough apart. Also if you want to go to the beach or experience nice weather this park is in a canyon which traps heat.

Campground was neat and orderly. The camp hosts were very friendly and informative. During our stay, there were several campsites that were not reserved. The camp hosts happily allowed us to move camp sites to be closer to the facilities. Overall, the site was great, facilities were clean and the scenery was beautiful. If we are up in the area again, we will certainly be back at the Freemont Campground.
