Carpinteria SB will be performing annual maintenance starting February 27, 2026, through March 16, 2026.  During this time, the Anacapa, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, and San Miguel camping loops (including group camps) will not be available for reservations.  There will be some campsites available on a first-come, first-serve walk-up basis at the park entrance kiosks.  Campsite availability will vary based on ongoing maintenance projects.
