Directions

DO NOT USE THE MAIN GATE! They require RV inspections and won't perform an inspection at the main gate. Exit California Highway 1 at Santa Lucia Canyon Road and proceed almost one mile to the Lompoc Gate (0600-1800, 7 days/week). After you go through the gate you will be on Pine Canyon Road. Proceed straight for 2.2 miles. Continue straight through the signal, as the road also changes names to Washington Ave. In another .5 miles, turn left at the stop sign onto California Blvd. Proceed west about one mile to the FAMCAMP, which will be on the right side of the road. Take the SECOND driveway into the campground (the first is the EXIT).

Tent/cabin site far from amenities

I was under the impression I would be camping on the beach, but I was wrong. The tent sites are next to Wall Beach, but a concrete barrier blocks the view. Also, the beach is closed from March-September to protect endangered species. That’s not a problem, just posting for awareness. Lastly, the tent and cabin sites are about 3 miles from the shower and laundry facilities and WiFi. At the tent/cabin sites, there is limited connectivity.
