With basic amenities including toilets and picnic tables, this drive-in and walk-in campground sits within the Los Padres National Forest near Lebec. The $10 nightly fee covers trash service, and campfires are permitted. Recent visitors should note that a June 2024 fire burned 10,000 acres in the area, leading to temporary closures. Access involves rough roads typical of the terrain. The open landscape provides space for RV and tent camping, though campers should verify current availability before making the trip given ongoing fire recovery efforts.
