Los Alamos Campground

Within Los Padres National Forest, Los Alamos Campground provides a US Forest Service-managed stop along the I-5 corridor near Gorman. The campground accommodates RVs up to 35 feet and offers both drive-in and walk-in sites with basic amenities including drinking water, restrooms, and a dump station.

Campers report clean bathrooms and water points distributed around individual sites, though some areas could benefit from vegetation maintenance. The facility operates on a reservation system with occasional first-come, first-serve availability during busy periods like Memorial Day weekend. Located close to a boat launch, the campground serves as a convenient base for lake activities or as an overnight stop for travelers heading over the Grapevine, with camping near Frazier Park providing additional regional options.

Guests frequently mentioned the campground's quiet atmosphere and clean facilities including bathrooms and water access. While well maintained overall, some sites need vegetation trimming.

Good for tent, OK for RV

As a tent camper, I loved it. 26 bucks was on the expensive side but well worth it. Super quiet. Nice and cool for the summer and I’m staying here on my way to Northern California off I5

Clean area and quiet

This campground is well maintained. There is a dump station nearby. Great place to stop heading over the Grapevine.

No Frills Basic Sites

Stopped in while passing through. It was memorial day weekend and Rec.gov showed 4 sites first come first serve. The entire park had otherwise been reserved. The camp host was nice and tried to push back a little saying she didn't have any spots but I showed her the app and the reservation sticker she put therefor the site for somebody the next day so it all worked out. Bathrooms were clean and they had water points around the sites. Sites were not in the best of shapes and could use someone walking around with a weedeater. Close to the boat launch which would be handy for some.
