SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Los Padres National Forest manages Friis Campground, an established site in the hills above Santa Margarita that operates year-round. Toilets are available on-site. Nearby, Navajo Flat Campground sits roughly 1.3 miles to the southeast, giving campers a close alternative within the same forest. Amenities are minimal, so arriving with water and supplies is essential. Campers comfortable with a basic setup and US Forest Service land will find this a functional base for exploring the surrounding terrain.
