Van Camper

Castaic Lake Campground

This is a nice campground. Very close to the city but still with visiting. I’m a van camper so I rented an RV site because I wanted shade trees. The tent camping sites in the first section have very little shade. Maybe one or two sites have shade. You definitely have to bring a canopy. I camped there in Nov2020 it was a nice getaway. The view of the lake is beautiful. I enjoyed seeing all the ducks on the lake. Each campsite has a table and fire ring. The bathrooms have flush toilets and the campground is kept clean and trash cans are emptied daily. It has a fish cleaning area with running water too. Must put away all your food because the raccoons will get into it. Overall it’s a nice local place to camp if you live in Santa Clarita, Ca.

Beautiful Desert Camping

We planned a one night stay in late May. We arrived on Sunday about 3 pm which was great because the campground was practically empty. This is the perfect place to experience desert camping. It was quiet and serene. The desert sunset was beautiful. More than I expected. The sunrise was perfect. The rock formations were picturesque each one with its own story. You could easily walk into some of the little caves & crevasses and there were quite a few paths to climb up the rocks. We enjoyed seeing the coyotes and chipmunks. It had vault toilets with no roofs which was kind of cool. There was a water spigot and dumpster by the the bathrooms. Each site has a fire ring and table.
