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!

Beautiful campground with friendly and helpful hosts. However, the campground is surrounded by private properties so hiking in the immediate area is limited and they can sometimes be a source of noise.

No services at all, and overpriced. Also, if you want to hike, they will charge you an ADDITIONAL fee to park at any nearby trailhead. Finally, the campground sits right next to the concessionaire's work lot, so you've got worker traffic and noise. Avoid this place if you can.
