VerifiedDecember 3, 2022 • Stayed at: 04, Loop: UPPE
We loved our visit to Upper Oso! The sites are well spaced apart and there’s plenty of shade. The creek had a little water if you hike up stream a bit. The Aliso trail is walking distance if you want a beautiful hike with views. We did get woken up by OHVs taking the access road, but they came and left quickly. There are flush toilets and the host kept them very clean. Some sites are a distance from your vehicle, so if you sleep in your van, like we did, or have all your gear in your car take this into consideration.
