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!

Camp sites sit in a large circle in a grove of old oak trees. Flush toilets were clean; no bathroom sinks. Some sites are a little close to each other.
