San Lorenzo Canyon Basecamp

The views are breathtaking. We drove into the canyon with a sprinter van. The road has a lot of washboard so you have to take it slow. There are some points where the sand gets kind of soft. But we didn’t have any issues. Once you get here you’re gonna think you’re in a magical place! We came during the week so there was nobody really around and we ended up staying three days cause we just couldn’t leave. On Friday night It did get a little busier but there’s plenty of room in the canyon so it’s not like you’re on Top of each other. 4x4 is helpful but not necessary plenty of cars came in here to see the canyon and left.

So we discovered that if you go past the turn that the dyrt tells you to take you will find the actual San Lorenzo Canyon road. It is marked and easy to find. It was about 2 miles past the area the dyrt had marked. This spot has a few dispersed spots right after you start down the road. If you have 4 wheel drive and can unhook and leave your trailer or if you have an ATV I would suggest parking here and then driving into the canyon. The sites are large and level and out here you have cell service. You are close to the freeway but the road noise wasn’t to bad. We would most definitely come back here to stay.

Went in about 2 miles. Passed a few sites but cell signal got weak to non existent the further I got in. I have Verizon. Anyhow turned around and took the first site going in. 4 bars with Verizon.
