Sage Hill Campground

Nice trail, easy to walk. Did saw 2 large rattle snakes half the distance and desided not to cross their path and walked back. But it was nice and one day I will try to finish the whole round trip

If you can get some friends together to chip in for a group camping area, this is the way to do it. No partying going on until all hours, no screaming kids running through your site, no drunks to deal with. Unless the parties, kids, and drunks are members of your group, anyway. This was the first time I've had a quiet night camping on Paradise Road unless it was during the winter with nobody else around. Wonderful! Our camp host was awesome, the restrooms were kept clean and fully stocked, and it was a great experience all the way around. Normally you have to cross over a stream to get to the campground, but at the moment it is bone dry. When there's enough water the stream is a great place for your kids to play.

This place used to be my Uncle Marvin Morris's ranch from 1956 to 1975. It was called Los Prietos. I'm 15 in the photo taken 60 years ago. The girls are Carol Morris, my cousin, and her best friend, Leslie Stewart.

Beautiful spot in the Los padres. Nice group site. Host was awesome!

I camped here in June, and it was wonderful! The weather was perfect. The bathrooms were very clean, and a water tap was conveniently located within the group campground. The hills were gorgeous, dotted with blooming yuccas and other plant life. Unfortunately the river had dried out, but it was interesting to walk along the riverbed and check out the rocks.
