Accessed only by hiking into Los Padres National Forest, Happy Hollow Camp requires campers to carry their gear on foot to reach this Forest Service site. The campground sits in the mountains above Goleta, with trailhead access determining how much equipment visitors can realistically bring.
Forest Service management means basic facilities and leave-no-trace camping principles apply. Campers should prepare for primitive conditions and pack out all waste. For those preferring drive-up access, Los Padres/Upper Oso provides vehicle camping several miles southwest.
