TravelerWe loved the lake view from our site. We had a lot of space. You can’t swim in the lake tho. Sadly the swimming pool was not opened yet when we were here but it looked great.
ScoutThe site is all up hill and really only has a small area where a few vans can fit. But the views are awesome
TravelerGood for what it is. There’s not a lot of trash but some. It’s nice to be able to walk to the beach and there’s water spouts to clean your feet. The bathrooms are pretty clean, didn’t use the showers though. It’s a bit noisy with highway traffic and the occasional train. It’s pretty open so there’s no privacy to any site. I stayed at 103 which was a big mistake because there is no shade at that site.
TravelerI stay at Foster Red Mountain campground. It was in a nice location. Certain sites are very close to the main road, check the map to stay in a quieter space. There were TONS of bugs. It looks like no one has tended to the grounds in a year. Ground loaded with dead leaves and likely the cause for all the bugs. You open your tent for one second and they’re all trying to get in, would be better if they had a shower. Overall nice area and campsite.
ScoutLocation was nice because of the view abc the ease of parking. But it is next to the main road, so it gets very noisy
ScoutLoved everything from start to beginning, the dogs, the bbq with the owners, the choice of campgrounds - each more beautiful than the others. Recommend!
ScoutBeautiful hilly landscape. Despite the absence of trees or bushes for shadow, we had a wonderful evening here, on our way to santa barbara. At the mentioned location we soon encountered a sign saying the motorized vehicles are prohibited from that point on. We drove a bit further down the main road than the gps location suggests, and took the next road to find a spot. The area map with zones for dispersed camping is not too clear, but it seems that you can camp to a certain distance from the main road, and this distance varies. After taking the next road, we found a simple semi-prepared spot. Some warm breezes in the evening, silent night with great views of the night sky.
ScoutExtremely clean facilities, check in after hours was a breeze and very well explained. Only potential downside is the highway noise.
GuideIt’s a very simple place but I found it so peaceful being surrounded by the golden plains, the breeze through the big shaded eucalyptus trees, and hearing the owls near sundown. Theres also hummingbirds that’ll get up right in your face. I was also the only one at the site so that was nice. The area is clean, vault toilets kinda gross though. Very small campground, a couple drive in sites and a couple walk in sites but each drive in site had a picnic table, fire ring, and a metal pole hook and theres one drinking water spigot for the whole campground. So not bad!! Road was surprisingly smooth majority of way and has some paved parts but there was some washboard parts too. Road to get here was long though about 13 miles from the blm sign. There was paper maps at the sign area. I got 3 bars at the campground with AT&T but was spotty on the drive over.
