This campground is about 20 minutes from San Juan Bautista but you feel miles away. The camp sites are rustic - no showers available and pit toilets only. The huge draw is the observatory on the premises. Pick your visit to coincide with one of the stargazing or sun programs offered by the observatory volunteers. We were able to look through their massive telescope and see Jupiter. So cool! Hike to the top of the peak for some amazing 360 degree views.
