I'm hesitant to post this review because I don't want too many people to discover one of my new favorite campgrounds, but this place was totally awesome. We went in January when the weather was good, and the area was beautiful, bug-free, and had plenty of cool things to do. The small campground is very clean, very spacious, and had attentive hosts. Lots of trails to explore and the nearby Santa Ynez River made the outdoors really fun, and Los Olivos being nearby was really fun when we were looking for a bit or a drink. Definitely keeping this one on our shortlist for nearby getaways.

Large campsite with ample parking and space for tents. Shaded most of the day. Puddling of water during and after rain in the parking area. Nice trail up adjacent hillside. Campground host hospitable. Water in river. Trail under road for access to river and whiterock day use area.

Really nice! Big area, nicely secluded in the hills. Not too far of a drive to SB and perfect location if you’re staying for outdoor activities like climbing.
Wrong entrance on Apple Maps tho. Drive about 2 more miles and there will be a plaque that says paradise campground.

Love this small campground. It's far off the main road, and set back from the side road. the camp host (Stephanie) is fantastic. Firewood is available (unless there are high fire risks), and the walk to the creek is very easy. Short drive to Cachuma Lake if you need any supplies or want to hang at the lake for the day.

This is a wonderful small campground and the host (Stephanie) is very helpful. Easy hike to the creek, which is a fun area to explore. Campground itself is all unpaved, and the regular bathrooms are not open. Otherwise, we love this campground!
