GNATS!! Oh my god, so many gnats! Campsites in the trees a decent distance from each other, moderate road noise during the day drowned out by crickets at night. Very dark allowing a beautiful view of the stars. But basically had to hide in our vehicle once the sun came up due to the huge clouds of gnats that followed you everywhere. For $40 it's definitely overpriced for what it offers, especially since the restrooms are under repair and there's only porta-johns.
I very much enjoyed it and so did my dogs. Make sure to reserve a spot online beforehand so that way you can get everything in order. The only problems were the bugs (but what can you expect?) and the walk from the car. Campground #11 has a far walk from literally everything and it’s uphill! At least it gave a good leg workout!
Very nice last minute campground! Camp host was helpful and sweet. Lots of wild turkey, and lots of bugs at this time of year. Port-a-pottys were very clean and well kept. Would definitely recommend if you’re in the Santa Barbara area and you’re struggling to find a campsite closer to the coast.
The campground has a lot of nice tree coverage. It's definitely a worn campground, but ok, if you just need a place to sleep. The table tops are not clean, so be sure to have wet wipes on hand. The bathrooms are portable potties and are fairly clean. At night is when the campground is best. It gets really dark and quiet about an hour after sunset. The morning rise is really nice for the only noise you hear are birds chirping away. There's a wild turkey that roams around and is pretty friendly. For the cost of $40.00, I've stayed in nicer ones for less cost. But hey, it served the purpose. I would recommend it and would stay there again to see the turkey.
