There is a really mean lady in the RV there. She knocked on our tent and gave us difficult time for no reason. I think they are trying to keep the young crowd out however we are planning to go back and give them hard time hahaha
Overall the campsites are ok , pretty well shaded under trees. There are smaller hikes around. There are water fountains. Our volleyball is stuck on the tree if you ever find it , give it to the mean lady , thanks.

Spacious campsites away from other campers. The hosts and park staff were very friendly. Bathrooms were kept very clean and well stocked.

Given the time of year we did have to drive a bit to get to play in the water, but we were also able to take a nice drive to Cachuma and Solvang.

Fun place. Middle area of camp site made it feel like a little community. Spots are close together. River is dried out. Perfect weather when we went.

first time camping at paradise and had a great time! reserved a spot for a thursday and had no issues snagging a first come first serve spot until sunday. stephanie, the camp host does an excellent job maintaining the grounds and the bathrooms are pretty clean. there isn’t a camp store on the grounds, so make sure you’re stocked with everything you need. we had to make a trip down the hill to grab more ice the second day, but it only took about 15-20 min drive to get to the nearest store. would definitely stay here again!
