The sound of wind through ridge-top pines marks this Forest Service campground in Los Padres National Forest. Sierra Madre Ridge accepts both drive-in and walk-in campers, with pets welcome throughout the site. Cell service reaches the campground, and both campfires and alcohol are permitted under current regulations.
Managed by the US Forest Service, the campground provides access to the surrounding national forest terrain. Campers can explore places to camp around Los Padres National Forest or visit Bates Canyon Campground just over two miles northeast. Check current forest conditions before arrival.
