Loved Los Prietos! The camp hosts were friendly and helpful, and site #4 was beautiful. There was lots of poison oak, but each site had plenty of maintained space so you could easily avoid it.

Very few sites are suitable for RV's, maybe half dozen. Luckily we had site 23 which is a pull thru that fit our 22 foot TT but was still tight. Campground is well shaded, especially the upper loop.
Campground was not busy during the week but full on the weekend. Flush toilets were cleaned daily.

What a beautiful campground. The hosts were phenomenal! Such sweet, welcoming people. They sell firewood for $10 a bundle. We had site 15. It has lots of shade. Not super flat for tent camping, but we made it work. This site has lots of privacy and is tucked away from the heart of the campground. Has a water spigot. Lots of poison oak, and the mosquitoes were plentiful, even in late March. My daughter and I will definitely return.

My wife and I had a great time here at los Prietos. It was our first time camping in the Los padres national forest and we gotta say it was a nice pristine campground with lush vegetation. The only downside was the amount of bugs but that’s out of our control. Loved that there was a river near by and enjoyed hiking Snyder trail .5 miles from campground to trailhead. Would
Consider camping here again.

Super cool area, though the campground was pretty rocky and had little to no flat area for pitching a tent
