Customer Reviews
Super friendly campground host, great pit toilets, our first time camping with no tap water, not a problem. The campground was nicely busy but not overcrowded on weekend. It was eerily quiet in weekdays, spooked us a little the first night. High elevation, so the weather varies depending on whether you're in the cloud or not. Great individual sites. 30 minutes drive to nearest town.
Really wanted to love this place, but the heat was atrocious even at this altitude. The swarm of fire ants that attacked me also rather dampened my mood. Quiet, even on a holiday weekend. Camp host was kind, bathrooms were clean, and trash cans were tidy. Nicely-sized sites, too. Definitely planning on coming back, but perhaps in Winter.
Great spot to camp. Toilets were well maintained. Sites were huge, but parking was pushing it for 2 SUV's. It was pretty windy at night and the bugs in the morning and later evening could be quite annoying.
Pretty cool and woodsy camping site, deer meander here too. It’s about 40 minutes from Solvang. A short drive back out & past the fire station is a great overlook. We could see the cloud cover below obstructing the ocean but we still experienced a lovely sunset there among the old oaks. And two miles up from the campsite is a fire road to the summit. We had a new moon during our stay so it was pitch dark in the evening and we’re able capture the Milky Way off the side of the campsite but you can still experience it from camp if you walk to an area where the trees are a little bit dispersed. The only downside is that there were a ridiculous amount of gnats during the daytime. Other than that, the place is nice & far enough from civilization to enjoy a few days among nature.
This was our first time coming here and it was a great experience. There were some drawbacks, but I'll get to those in a bit. We booked our trip in July, the weather was pretty good. We experienced a high of 84 and one of the nights it was down at 52! We did read that it gets cold at night so luckily we brought warm clothes to sleep in. Having a beanie and warm blankets helped get through the cold nights. Second night was a low of 64, so that wasn't too bad. I like to book my campsite as close as possible to the restrooms to make the trips short, but just an FYI, these restrooms have a really bad smell. The restrooms are kept very clean, but the smell comes from the vent. We could smell that stuff from our campsite, so I would recommend choosing a spot not too close to these restrooms. T
