Site was clean albeit mostly empty which left for great quiet nights.
Close to plenty of hiking trails and Santa Barbara.

Very well maintained campground. Camp hostess and host were very nice and helpful with any questions our group had. Clean bathrooms and plenty of space in between campsites.

Wonderful campground and location, our site was spacious with a tent area and the fire pit/bbq/table across a dry creek bed from the tent area.
Only complaint was fly bags STANK, but they were catching flys so I shouldn’t complain

Love this campsite. Large and far enough away from other campsites so not felt crowded. Gorgeous oak trees. Only real downside was the prevalence of poisonous oak

Good view and privacy, close to potable water and restroom. Restrooms looks new and remodeled. Only thing is there are group of huge ants on ground.

My favorite campground in the Santa Barbara area. Walking distance to White Rock which has a nice little watering hole and rocky “beach”. Plus red rock is just a few miles up the road. Weekends are busy but there are many campsites that offer seclusion. Lots of trees too which provide shade from the hot summer sun. Facilities are kept clean. Water spigots close to each site. Friendly camp hosts. 20 minutes from SB. Dog friendly. Just watch out for poison oak which surrounds some of the campsites. I prefer the sites towards the back of the campground. Less people and cars driving through.
