**** Campground is CLOSED **** The area had a large fire and the entire Los Padres National Forest is closed. The area where the campground is looks like it was burned pretty bad from where the road was closed.
If you're traveling on the PCH without reservations, try this place. There aren't many spots, so go early. The drive up to the campground is an experience within itself and the views are spectacular. Make sure you have a fly swatter, though. I'd give this five stars except for the flies.
Windy at night and we were swarmed by flies in the morning. Our tent pad was right next to another tent only separated by a post in the ground. The campground manager said it was one of the best sitesI say 3 stars but my wife says 2.
Perfect for spontanious stays even during high season! The campsites along PCH were all packed but this one was half empty and perfect for us (tent, low budget). There's no water running, but you're in perfect wilderness. 15 bucks a night!
Just don't get impatient on the 20 min way from PCH & drive carefully.
Nice day hikes, one of the cooler roads I have ever had the pleasure of driving.
