We loved our time at this campground! 4 friends were only able to make it to the campground when it was already dark and past 9 o’clock but it was easy to navigate and no fuss coming and going as we pleased. We woke up and found our camp ground spot perched on a little hill, under a lovely canopy of tree cover. Overall, quiet, peaceful, very convenient to access the Red Rock Pools, and not far from Santa Barbara either!

Great area with lots of shade and large campsites. 2nd year in a row - we love going camping here and heading to the beach/pier for the day!

{"text"=>"Pros: Shady oaks (at most sites) and wild turkeys wander the campground. Near Cachuma Lake and Santa Ynez River. Some of the sites are nice and roomy.\nCONS:\n-Site #13 looks like a massive branch from the oak tree fell off and cracked the table in half. The table hasn't been repaired and the site is small and in full sun.\n-Site #12 has no spigot (you have to access the spigot smack dab in the middle of Site #13 and it barely functions, the back of Site #11, or across the way...it's a little awkward walking through people's sites).\n-The bathroom nearest Sites 11, 12 and 13 shares with a couple of other sites and one of the two toilets was out of order. This causes occasional lines. NO SINKS.\n-The fire pit was halfway full of ash and hadn't been cleaned in between reservations.\n-Poison oak is part of the natural habitat so keep a lookout. The back side of our site was full of it.", "languageCode"=>"en"}
