What an awesome campground. It was perfect size and super easy to get in and out of. Plenty of hiking and mountain biking in the area. The only downside was that some of the surrounding areas were closed due to all the water in the Santa Ynez River and washed out access points. Other than that, the campground was clean and beautiful.

Enjoyed our stay. Facilities were good overall, I hope they get the bathrooms fixed soon. They probably need to have the temp porta potties serviced more, they needed it. Campground host Stephanie was very helpful.

My girlfriend and I stayed for two nights and had a great time. The host was friendly. The forecast for our weekend was rain so all but two others seemed to have canceled so there were only three campsites occupied. Our campsite didn't flood while we were there even though it did rain 2-3 inches. The bathrooms were closed and porta-pottys were the only option but there were several stocked and relatively clean. There is a road nearby and we could hear the occasional car pass through. One of the other campers had music that could be heard across the campgrounds throughout most of the afternoon and evening. Great convince to Santa Barbara/Goleta residents. Overall, we had a great experience and would go back.
