Tent camping and generators all day long... our neighbors turned their generator on at 6am!!!! And then again from 3-9pm!!!! WTF
Recognize that other campers are camping to enjoy the sounds of nature, camping is not about listening to man made constant engine generators, respect others that are actually camping and leave your generators at home or buy one that’s silent!!!

Beautiful campground nestled among the trees. Sites are fairly well spaced out. Flushing toilets are a plus!

Even with no water running in it, we enjoyed walking along the river bed that is easily accessible from the campground.

There were only 3-5 other parties at the campground when I was there (mid-November) so it was very quiet. Area was kept clean and suitable for my tent camping. This canyon, which has multiple campgrounds, is much colder than Santa Barbara at night, be specific when checking the weather. I stayed in space #11, which i couldn't find on the maps. Turned out to be a great option because it was on the outside of the ring road and the last site. No adjoining sites on two sides.
