"Get a spot away from the HWY.
Short walk to the beach and a short drive to Santa Monica Pier."
"This is a very nice campground near everything but still away from it all. No issues parking our 42' 5th wheel here. Clean and quiet despite the peacocks. They can be rather loud when startled."

The campground is small, quiet and very well-kept."

"We were placed away from all the tent campers. Staff was friendly and helpful. Tighter spots for anything over 25ft. ONLY AT&T works. Wifi is $9/day for one device."
"Also multiple hiking trails right from the grounds, and some playgrounds and basketball courts. Feels very family friendly. First come first serve spots and you make reservations online."
"Gorgeous location right on the lake, the waters clear and there’s a generous amount of trees surrounding for shade."
"Just a 1 min walk down the hill to the lake - a perfect place to have my morning coffee! They allowed pets which is awesome. Super quiet, lots of stars, and a beautiful view. Couldn’t ask for better!"
GuideStopped in while passing through. It was memorial day weekend and Rec.gov showed 4 sites first come first serve. The entire park had otherwise been reserved. The camp host was nice and tried to push back a little saying she didn't have any spots but I showed her the app and the reservation sticker she put therefor the site for somebody the next day so it all worked out. Bathrooms were clean and they had water points around the sites. Sites were not in the best of shapes and could use someone walking around with a weedeater. Close to the boat launch which would be handy for some.
ScoutTook my partner here for her first camping trip, we had a blast. Plenty of firewood for sale from camp host, flush toilets, potable water from spigots. Definitely a good entry to camping. Close to pyramid lake about 2 miles.
ScoutThis campground is in a pretty canyon with beautiful trees. The staff is super friendly. The problem is, we were in a tent trailer and they have tons of extremely outdoor peacocks. They are beautiful, but screech VERY loudly. They poop everywhere, even on top of our trailer. Our camp site hadn't been picked up at all. There had been a party and confetti. Wrappers etc. were left in the dirt. The bathrooms (too few) were not cleaned and were very old and not kept up. Hard sided rvs would do better at this campground.
LegendJudging by the shape of the office, this place was a 60’s or 70’s KOA back in the day. The trees and bushes are fantastic. However just as our population has gotten larger over the years, so have the RVs. For a 43 footer this place is TIGHT. If you have a big rig, prolly not the best idea. But if you have a 28 footer, this place is Six Stars!!!! It has a pool and spa, great dog walking area. Propane and store are on site
GuideWe had a really good time here without having to travel too far out of the city. Was a great quick getaway with our dog. Sites vary from small and crowded to large and spacious. We camped with our square drop trailer and had little issues parking and setting up.
It seems the campsite attracts a rowdy crowd but that's expected so close to the city. Still, noisy neighbors was definitely the most negative aspect of our stay.
Restrooms were decently clean, showers were good and quarter operated. Peacocks roam the campsite and are really cool to see. The attached park has an aviary and if you follow it to the opposite side of the campgrounds, has quite some land to walk the dog around.
ScoutBeautiful place but it’s very densely packed. There’s a lot of nice sites but ours definitely isn’t one of them. We have a parking space that backs up to a sand hill with a picnic table. There isn’t a fire pit or anywhere to sit that’s not asphalt. The spots on the other side of this strip have grassy areas and more room. The campsite is close to downtown Carpinteria with stores, restaurants, and breweries. There’s also a playground onsite.
GuideNice camp ground with clean and nice facilities. Bad WiFi
ScoutClean, comfortable sites near Long Beach Marina and downtown. Good biking, walking lanes. Pool & jacuzzi are nice.
ScoutFelt really clean and cozy! Lots to do nearby!
