Caballo Campground sits within Los Padres National Forest along forest road 9N27, a route that can be gated and impassable in winter and early spring. Mountains surround the site on all sides, and the campground itself is spacious with forested terrain throughout. Amenities are basic: pit toilets, picnic tables, and campfire rings, with cell service available. RVs are limited to 16 feet. Black bear activity has been documented in the area, and bobcat sightings have been reported as well. The season runs May through November, though those planning shoulder-season visits should verify road conditions before heading out. Campers who prefer a low-traffic, drive-in site with room to spread out and don't mind the possibility of a short walk if the gate is closed will find places to camp near Los Padres National Forest at varying levels of access and development. Toad Springs Campground lies 0.6 miles to the south for those who want a nearby alternative.
