Best Cabin Camping near Lompoc, CA

Jalama Beach County Park offers rustic beachfront cabins with views of the Pacific Ocean, located at the end of a 14-mile winding road. The cabins include electricity, heating, picnic tables, and fire rings, with most positioned for optimal ocean views. "The variety of sites from basic camping to those with electric hookups. Some are considered premium beachfront sites and cabins," notes a visitor who appreciated the rugged coastal setting. Cachuma Lake Recreation Area provides lakeside cabins with electricity and heat, positioned along the waterfront with wrap-around patios, picnic tables, and fire pits. El Capitan Canyon features more upscale cabin accommodations, while Flying Flags RV Resort in nearby Buellton offers a range of cabin options with modern amenities.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Jalama Beach cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when beachfront accommodations fill quickly. At Cachuma Lake, cabins sleep 4-6 people and include electricity and heat, though they lack private bathrooms. A camper mentioned that "the yurt I stayed in slept 4-6 people. Yurts do not have bathrooms. It has electricity and heat, two bunk beds, a view of the lake, a wrap-around patio with chairs, picnic table, fire pit, water source, grill, and ample parking space." Flying Flags offers vintage-style and modern cabin rentals with varying pet policies. Most locations require minimum stays during peak seasons.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary significantly between properties - Jalama Beach cabins have minimal cooking amenities, while Flying Flags cabins often include more extensive kitchen setups. On-site stores at Jalama Beach and Cachuma Lake provide essential supplies, though prices are higher than in town. "The camp store is super clutch! I was really resisting purchasing anything from the store because it's pricey (you pay a convenience up charge) but I found myself itching for snow cones and cookies," reported one Jalama Beach visitor. Cachuma Lake's general store stocks "pretty much anything you could ask for" including dry goods, refrigerated items, and camping supplies. Visitors planning extended cabin stays should consider bringing groceries from Lompoc or Buellton.

    Jalama Beach County Park

    Beachfront Seclusion

    More than likely the beachfront sites will be booked, but be sure to call the ranher station just before for last-minute availability. Gorgeous spots with fire pits and picnic tables on the sand, just before a private beach accessible via the e0 minute, winding dead-end road. Facilities, a playground, tiered campspots and cabins, and a store all sit serenely at this quiet spot.

    Jalama Beach County Park

    Ruggedly beautiful beach

    General: Variety of sites from basic camping to those with electric hookups. Some are considered premium beachfront sites and cabins. Prices are also adjusted seasonally. 

    Site Quality: Some sites are concrete; some are on sand. Our site was close to the beach, however, the view of the ocean was blocked by dunes (and also by a restroom). Our site also easily accommodated two camper vans. Each site had a large picnic table and fire ring, although the picnic table was a bit warped. 

    Bath/Shower: The closest restroom to our site was very basic – one toilet each for men and women with a shared sink on the outside. Showers are in a separate building and are $ 1.00 for three minutes. 

    Activities: The beach here is ruggedly beautiful and you can walk quite a distance if you go to the left; to the right, there is a lot of driftwood but is still somewhat walkable. There is also a store/small restaurant on-site.

    We were supposed to spend two nights here but after a very stormy night, we had to evacuate as the only road in/out was unstable, but we would definitely return. If we were unable to reserve a premium beach site, we would choose a site at the top level. Although these are furthest from the beach, they provide the best view of the ocean.

    Nice place for those who are looking to party!

    Nice RV park... It's pretty big and offers several options for staying from small cabins to full RV hook up sites. I personally was a little disappointed that place was packed as most places we have been staying had a 50% capacity restriction. Staff was friendly and helpful and definitely will return after pandemic is gone. Quiet time wasn't enforce which is nice for those wanting to party.

    Our site had a gas grill and fire pit which was nice for some of the chilly nights we had.

    Cachuma Lake Recreation Area

    Peaceful & filled with life

    I have been coming to this campground annually since around 2009, and I've loved every trip. The campground is on the larger side, filled with grassy and shaded sites all throughout it. There is a general store, clean bathrooms, and showers.

    The campground is based on a peninsula that juts into the lake, therefore it has waterfront campsites on both sides, and all the sites in the middle are only a matter of 2-3 campsites from a water's edge. When you first enter the campground, there are a few day use only spots near the general store. All campsites at the base of the peninsula are the ones that families tend to stick to, as there is a pool, its close to the store, and that is the only area on the campground with full and partial hookups. As you travel up the peninsula, limited Yurts and Cabins are along the waterfront. Most yurts have a foot trail down to the water. The Yurt I stayed in (we camped 3 nights and had a yurt the last two) slept 4-6 people, 6 if you have kids. Yurts do not have bathrooms. It has electricity and heat, two bunk beds, a view of the lake, a wrap- around patio with chairs, picnic table, fire pit, water source, grill, and ample parking space. I have never stayed in a cabin here before but they look really nice.

    The general store is filled with pretty much anything you could ask for. About 3 rows of dry grocery goods, 1 refrigerated section including a very impressive selection of local craft beers, ice machine, firewood, smores stuff, fishing poles/ odd's and end's, candy, trinkets and gifts, propane, camping supplies, cooking supplies, stationary, etc. The wine selection, on the other hand, is sub-par; so a stop in SB on the way up is a must if you need wine! Keep in mind the store closes week days at 4 and weekends at 5 if i'm not mistaken.

    I think the main thing that keeps this campground so peaceful (other than their strictly enforced quiet hour from 10pm-7am) is the fact that NO SWIMMING, speedboats, wake boarding or waterskiing is allowed in the lake because is is a source of drinking water in the area. That being said, you are more than welcome to rent a 4 or 6 person fishing boat or 6-10 person pontoon boat for the day or hourly at the marina fishing store. The lake is open to fish until 6pm if you have a vehicle or are on a boat- a park ranger will come around at 6 and let everyone with a car know its time to go. However, if you walk to the marina, you could fish all night for all they care. You can also purchase fishing licenses for the day, 2 days, or year, at a reasonable price (I got a year pass it was $53.74) along with endless fishing lures, bait (including live), hooks, line, and poles. In regards to actually catching fish- In the past years I always rented a boat and i caught a lot of bass and carp, an occasional rainbow trout. This time I had plenty luck from certain parts of shore! Tons of beautiful 3 lb rainbow trout and 2 lb crappie! The limit was 10 per person, and people around us definitely caught their limit, but we were conservative and only caught what we needed for the day. Some fish bite more in certain areas of the lake than others, if you don't mind to hike a mellow/ moderate journey you'll find plenty of little coves within a reasonable distance of the campground. If you're looking for a bit more strenuous of a journey word has it there is a trail that goes all the way around the perimeter of the lake- I, however, have not hiked the trail, as my husband and I were backpacking into the campsite and that was an adventure in its self and I was exhausted!

    Like I mentioned before, the bathrooms and showers are very clean. No mirrors in the bathroom, there are multiple bathroom buildings throughout the campground along with the showers. Showers are individual rooms that have a locking door. Showers are pay showers, so bring a lot of quarters if you plan to stink pretty. I think it was $1.50 for 3 minutes.

    Another note: This campground is near the water (the lake and the ocean) and you're in the mountains; which means it will be generally pretty windy (bring chapstick!). The wind dies down midday and at night. If you're trying to light a fire when the sun is setting- good luck. 20 minutes later- you're golden. It also gets very cold at night! I'm form Southern California, so by cold I mean mid to low 40's, then add wind- yikes. On the contrary, bring sun screen for the day- cause it gets pretty warm! I'm still suffering the repercussions of not wearing any after fishing all day lol.

    Overall the campground is aesthetically pleasing on many levels. From the abundance of grass (no dirt sites), trees, rolling hills of knee high grass, blooming flowers, wildlife (ground squirrels, birds including california condors, blue jays, hawks, etc.), and, of course, the gorgeous cascading mountains plummeting straight into the lake, there's not a thing about this campsite I couldn't love.

Endless amenities include soccer field, basketball court, bocce ball, pool/spa, playground, store, restaurant, LP refills, self service ice machine, firepit rentals, covered bike parking. Impeccably clean and well maintained. The site staff is very friendly, helpful and quietly accomplishes their tasks with hardly any disturbances to campers. Much appreciated. Was pleased to see roaving security regularly.

    Avila Hot Springs

    Good for 1 Night & Quick Soak

    This small hot springs resort has a unique charm about it. With not a lot of acreage, they maximize the space for sure. The main attraction is the warm pool, 25 yards with swimming lanes, and the hot pool which can accommodate 30 people. We found this rustic resort a good place to spend the night and get in a quick soak, but not exactly someplace we’d like to spend a weekend. 

    The RV lot is a large parking lot with spaces allocated on the outside of the gravel road. The tent camping section was a narrow patch of grass, with sites slotted in together along a tight corner of the property. Get to know your neighbors, because you’ll be close! Our little camper and truck rig was just small enough to fit into one of the grass camping sites at 32 feet combined, but it was a tight fit.  We were easily able to run on solar instead of paying for an electrical site.

    There's a picnic table and fire ring at each site, but the sites are so small, you are practically on top of your neighbors with zero privacy.  There are pit toilets in the campground as well as flush toilets and showers available near the bath house.  They also offer cabins for rent.

    The town of Avila Beach has restaurants and a few convenience stores, but the larger grocery stores are available in nearby Pismo Beach.  Morro Bay is definitely worth a visit as well!

    Lopez Lake Recreation Area

    Lopez Lake

    Lopez Lake Recreation Area is 15 minutes behind the “Village” of Arroyo Grande, CA.

    Lopez is a frequently visited spot for us - We generally camp in a primitive site the back of the Squirrel Loop of the park. The Squirrel Loop is not a lakeside loop (you cannot see the lake at all from here), but we have found it to be one of the quieter, less trafficked campground in the park. The Squirrel Loop is nestled inside a canyon, surrounded by big, beautiful live oak trees.

    Lopez Lake is a very large campground with many different loops, so many of which are nearby the lake. If you haven’t been to the campground before and are not worried about reserving a site ahead of time, take some time to drive around the park when you arrive to see what area you would most like to camp in - there are a lot of great spots here there and everywhere!

    Each site has a picnic table and a fire ring. There are clean plumbed bathrooms, and coin-operated showers. Lopez has full hook-ups for RVs, and a marina to launch boats. There is a small but well-stocked convenience store in the marina with food, ice, firewood, beer, fishing gear, etc. There is also a small cafe located in the marina store, with limited hours.

    Lopez Lake is the home of the Mustang Waterpark, a small, but super fun water park. I believe the park is closed during the fall and winter months, but is open during the spring and summer. Swimming is allowed in the lake, and there are some “beach” areas that have been cleared of lake plants and rocks for safe swimming.

    Hiking to Big Falls is a fun adventure if you want to leave the campground. There are certain times when the falls are not accessible without 4WD, however, we have been in severe drought conditions in Central California for the last few years, so you don’t have to worry about crossing any deep creeks, if any. A super low clearance vehicle may have a challenging time crossing the creek beds, even when dry. The drive to Big Falls trailhead from Lopez is short, but probably takes 15-20 minutes as you are driving through a curvy, narrow canyon road. The hike is through live oak trees most of the way, so most of the hike is nice and shaded. Keep and eye out for salamanders when crossing the creek beds! While it is unlikely, black bears mountain lions have been spotted on the Big Falls trail, so be aware of your surroundings. Here are directions to the Big Falls trailhead: http://www.hikeslo.com/big-falls/

    WARNING : While the possibility of a black bear sighting is fairly uncommon, black bears are seen every year at Lopez Lake. You are in black bear county, and there are no bear boxes/ food lockers at Lopez Lake. I would suggest locking your food and coolers up in the car at night to avoid attracting wild animals to your campsite.

    Cachuma Lake Recreation Area

    Huge County Campground with Numerous Site Types

    The lovely county run park in the hills above the Santa Barbara coastline, is a great campground offering a wide variety of camping experiences from full hook ups to grass covered spaces under the trees along the shores of this lovely reservoir. The sites offer the usual camp picnic table and fire ring, and the many group sites offer large grills and even a few picnic shelters. 

    The sunshine is typically abundant in this California park, and even without full hook ups you can easily get all the power you need with an appropriately sized solar panel system. We’ve run on solar for over 10 years, and it saves us thousands of dollars each year for our full-time camping life. 

    The flush bathrooms are clean and spacious. Water spigots were plentiful throughout the campground. The coin operated showers got the job done, but since we were there during a chilly March, things could have been warmer. But hey, everything important got clean… 

    The lake is perfect for boating, but since it’s a drinking water reservoir, there is no body contact with this body of water. So plan on using the campground pool to cool off during the summer months. Hiking and mountain biking trails are abundant throughout the area, and kayaking, canoeing, fishing or sailing on the lake is the perfect way to spend the afternoon. 

    The campground offers some excellent yurts and cabins for nightly rent right on the shores of the lake. These are often booked out so plan ahead. 

    The camp store offers enough grocery supplies in case you forgot something, including ice, snacks, fire wood, and gas.  There is also a cool pub down by the boat ramp which offers live music in the weekends.  The nearby tourist town of Solvang offers a great day trip to sample the amazing Dutch pastry treats, pick up some groceries, wine tasting, or a night out on the town.

    Cachuma Lake Recreation Area

    Great camping for beginners

    + Great amenities— large restrooms with multiple stalls, hand soap, plenty of toilet paper, and clean showers. Each site has a fire pit with grill, picnic table, and parking for 2 cars

    + Beautiful California Oak trees surround the campgrounds and you get the most amazing variety of birds visiting.

    + Some sites have lake views! Our site#290 had a great view but the site itself was not the best. The grounds were every rocky and uneven. It was hard to find ground to set up a tent and most spots had rocks embedded into the floor so you would be sleeping on bumps.

    + FANTASTIC camp store. One of the best I’ve seen. They have everything you could need. It’s a gift store, mini mart, and a liquor store. You can buy eggs, milk, butter, and tons of shelf and can items. You can also buy a variety of beverages including wine and beer. The store carries plenty of snacks and candy, and you can get hot food items like hot dogs. They also carry camp gear in case you need— tents, chairs, sleeping bags, flash lights, cooking gear(stove, camp mugs/plates, fuel. Etc. Firewood is a little pricey at$8/bundle but when you need it, you need it! The store is SO CLUTCH because having to leave to purchase anything would be a longggg drive.

    + Lots if lake activities. You can bring your own boat and they have a small gas station for boat fuel. The camp shop also carry bait and other fishing gear. There are boat, kayak rentals, and you could also sign up for a lake boat tour. Only downside is no swimming or SUP boarding.

    + Lovely lake cafe with good hot food, beer/wine, and even cocktails. There is outdoor dining and even a fire pit for colder months. Careful during hot climate, there are yellow jackets everywhere. It makes sitting at the cafe unbearable. Service is friendly and the food is good. We tried their burger and fries and were not disappointed. Prices are a little high but it’s nice if you want to skip preparing and cleaning up a camp meal.

    + Quiet Time begins at 10pm which is great because I find this campground louder and more rowdy than others. It’s packed and people love running their music speakers super loud. They wait until the park rangers come around at 10pm to tell them to turn off their music. It’s definitely a fun crowd that comes here so heads up if you’re looking for a more serene camping experience.

    + There are yurts and cabins for rental that are a little more removed from the loud crowd. I definitely would love to try renting a yurt with a lake view next time I visit.

    Overall, this is a really fun campground with tons of convenience. Run out of booze? No problem. Head to the cafe or the camp store. Too lazy to cook? No problem, Lake Cachuma has options for you. Bored? Head to the lake or play some air frisbee. It’s also a great place for first time campers. You get a good introduction to nature, run activities, and camping while still having comfort and convenience just a few steps from your tent.


Guide to Lompoc

Cabin accommodations near Lompoc, California provide access to the varied terrain of California's Central Coast, where coastal valleys meet the Pacific Ocean at elevations ranging from sea level to 500 feet. The region experiences a moderate Mediterranean climate with morning fog that often burns off by midday, creating comfortable daytime temperatures for outdoor activities. Winds frequently intensify in the afternoon, particularly at beachfront locations.

What to Do

Beach exploration: 1.5-mile trail from Sun Outdoors Santa Barbara: "Short hike down to very nice beach at the El Capitan State Park" notes Nancy L., who appreciated the access to coastal trails. The campground also offers "hiking and biking trails" connecting directly to beach access points.

Horseback riding along dunes: 1-hour guided tours available. At Pacific Dunes Ranch, "the dunes were beautiful, but walking to the beach would be quite an effort. Without the OHV activity, it was safe to hike or dune surf. Horseback riding, basketball court, and remote controlled car track were other amenities," according to Annette A., highlighting the unique dune landscape.

Wildlife boat tours: Daily pontoon excursions. At Cachuma Lake Recreation Area, "Cachuma Lake is a great place for wildlife viewing and birding... Pontoon boat tours to view wildlife launch every day from the marina," shares Amanda M., who has observed "ducks, coots, Western and Clark's grebes, loons, osprey, hawks, turkey vultures, turkeys, quail, American white pelicans, cormorants, etc." The no-swimming rule protects this drinking water source.

Mountain biking on surrounding trails: Access from multiple campgrounds. "I rode my bicycle to Solvang, which is 4 miles away," notes one SmallRVLifestyle visitor who stayed at Flying Flags RV Resort. The interconnected network of trails also extends to natural areas adjacent to cabin accommodations.

What Campers Like

Remote beach access with minimal crowds: At Jalama Beach County Park, "spots are great, the beach has good waves and you can definitely feel the calm beach vibe and seclusion from being so far from the main road," writes Brittany H. Another visitor, Samuel N., noted the "Amazing sunsets, great beach for surfing or just a nice long walk."

Natural oak tree settings for shade: Many cabin sites feature mature trees. At Lopez Lake Recreation Area, "Deciduous trees and leafy ground cover make for a comfortable experience," according to Rachel A., who appreciated the natural setting. Another visitor mentioned that "the Squirrel Loop is nestled inside a canyon, surrounded by big, beautiful live oak trees."

Well-stocked camp stores: Cabin guests appreciate not having to leave for supplies. The store at Cachuma Lake "has everything you could need. It's a gift store, mini mart, and a liquor store. You can buy eggs, milk, butter, and tons of shelf and can items," according to Chanel C., who found it "SO CLUTCH because having to leave to purchase anything would be a longggg drive."

Lakeside recreation options: "There are boat, kayak rentals, and you could also sign up for a lake boat tour. Only downside is no swimming or SUP boarding," notes Chanel C. about Cachuma Lake. The activities provide alternatives to beach recreation for cabin guests.

What You Should Know

Wind conditions affect comfort: Jalama Beach gets particularly windy. "It can get very windy and the first day was," notes Samuel N. Another camper, Michael K., explained "This can be an extremely windy stretch of beach. During the day it will blow onshore and at night it will blow offshore."

Road access limitations to remote cabins: The 14-mile drive to Jalama Beach cabins requires planning. "The drive in is very far, I think 14 miles from the main road and there are no reservations so it is definitely a gamble. SO WORTH IT!" emphasizes Brittany H. about the journey to these remote cabins near Lompoc.

Varying cabin amenities between properties: Flying Flags RV Resort "features a plethora of housing options, including vintage trailers and airstreams, cottages, luxury tents, and RV/tent camping spots," according to SmallRVLifestyle V., showing the range of cabin options available near Lompoc.

Seasonal booking requirements: Peak summer months require advance planning. At Lopez Lake, camping cabins can be reserved in advance online, as Jeremy F. notes: "You can make reservations online and you can reserve a specific site. They have sites ranging from primitive to full hookups."

Tips for Camping with Families

Pool access: Great for kids when beach water is cold. At Pismo Coast Village RV Resort, "The kids enjoyed the pool and arcade, which was a great start," notes a family visitor. Multiple cabin locations offer swimming pools as alternatives to ocean swimming.

Kid-friendly food options: On-site dining. Jason M. mentions that at Flying Flags, "We love the wading pool and kid-friendly activities. Our family will keep coming back here." Another visitor noted that "an on-site restaurant delivers to your site."

Cabin versus yurt considerations: When deciding between cabin types, consider that "the yurt I stayed in slept 4-6 people. Yurts do not have bathrooms. It has electricity and heat, two bunk beds, a view of the lake, a wrap-around patio with chairs, picnic table, fire pit, water source, grill, and ample parking space," according to a Cachuma Lake visitor.

Activity planning for various age groups: Mike N. shares that Cachuma Lake has "a great general store as you enter the campground that has everything you may need or want. Super quiet at night as there is not a major highway nearby," making it ideal for families with early bedtimes.

Tips from RVers

Cabins as alternative to RV hookups: For travelers without RVs, cabin rentals provide similar convenience. Teresa S. notes that at Pacific Dunes Ranch, "If you own a rear living trailer this is the place to be, we wake up to the beautiful dunes of the central coast. It's perfect to watch the sunset from hear."

Satellite internet availability: Some locations offer improved connectivity. "The site has Starlink internet, but it's kinda spotty. If you have a Cell Booster(WeeBoost), I got two bars with TMobile, but outside of that, there is no cell reception," shares Mike G. about Jalama Beach cabin access.

Seasonal road conditions: Access roads can become impassable during heavy rains. Lee D. recounts, "We were supposed to spend two nights here but after a very stormy night, we had to evacuate as the only road in/out was unstable," highlighting potential seasonal challenges at more remote cabin locations.

Utility differences between cabin options: Electricity and heating are standard at most cabins near Lompoc, but water hookups vary. Several cabin options at Flying Flags come with "Free WiFi, a full laundry facility, pools, and a hot tub," according to SmallRVLifestyle V.
