Cool spot

Love the proximity to Santa Barbra. And a fun place to check out with amazing views of the islands. We went and just snagged a first come first serve spot and it worked out. It was pretty dry and dusty but other than that the spots were clean and would only recommend some sun shades or protection.

Cool, secluded, quiet, high elevation campground with epic views.

Way up near the Reyes Peak Trailhead, 6 sites right on the ridge. Vault toilet. Picnic tables. No water. The first 4 sites are wooded and near the toilets. Site #1 could fit a  group. The 2 other sites are down the road some distance from the toilet and have much less shade. But they do have fun rocks to play on and great views. This campground is right up the road from the less popular Pine Mountain Campground - they are essentially one larger campground. Midweek in August this campground did fill up. Get there by noon to grab a first come first served spot if you don't have a reservation.

The Reyes Peak Trail provides outdoor enthusiasts with scenic routes through the mountains with potential views of the Channel Islands on clear days. The area offers diverse terrain and beautiful panoramic vistas that make hiking here particularly rewarding. For the most current trail conditions and recommendations, check with the Los Padres National Forest Service before your trip.

What facilities are available at Reyes Peak Campground?

Reyes Peak Campground offers 6 primitive sites situated along a scenic ridge. Facilities include vault toilets and picnic tables, but there's no running water available, so be sure to bring your own supply. The first 4 sites are nestled in wooded areas close to the toilets, with site #1 being spacious enough to accommodate a group. The remaining 2 sites are located farther down the road from the toilet facilities and have considerably less shade. Each campsite has a fire ring for campfires, though fire restrictions may apply during dry seasons.

What are the best seasons to visit Reyes Peak Campground?

The best time to visit Reyes Peak Campground is during late spring through early fall when weather conditions are most favorable. Summer visits can be enjoyable, though the area can get quite dry and dusty, and the lack of shade at some sites may make midday heat challenging. Bringing sun protection like hats and sunshades is highly recommended. Fall offers pleasant temperatures and potentially clearer views of the islands on the horizon. The campground's high elevation location may make winter camping difficult due to colder temperatures and possible snow, while early spring might still be affected by winter conditions.
