Arroyo Hondo Vista Point Rest / Camp Area, near Goleta, California, is a unique spot that offers a stunning view of the Pacific Ocean right from your campsite. This area is perfect for a quick stop or an overnight stay, especially if you’re looking to enjoy the beauty of the coastline without breaking the bank.
The location allows for easy access to the beach, and visitors have mentioned the breathtaking scenery, making it a great place to unwind. One camper noted, “It’s free and you are camping cliffside over the ocean,” which captures the essence of this spot. While amenities are limited—there are no toilets or electric hookups—there are trash cans available, and you can enjoy a peaceful night under the stars.
If you’re up for a little adventure, take a short walk over the nearby Amtrak bridge for some fresh air and a different perspective of the area.
