Water faucets were in poor condition and the toilets didnt flush well.

Huge campsites, nice hosts, clean bathrooms- they could use an upgrade and there was one closed but they were kept cleaned. We walked to the river daily and had a great time. We will be back here!

The best hosted campground!

Enjoyed our stay. Facilities were good overall, I hope they get the bathrooms fixed soon. They probably need to have the temp porta potties serviced more, they needed it. Campground host Stephanie was very helpful.

My girlfriend and I stayed for two nights and had a great time. The host was friendly. The forecast for our weekend was rain so all but two others seemed to have canceled so there were only three campsites occupied. Our campsite didn't flood while we were there even though it did rain 2-3 inches. The bathrooms were closed and porta-pottys were the only option but there were several stocked and relatively clean. There is a road nearby and we could hear the occasional car pass through. One of the other campers had music that could be heard across the campgrounds throughout most of the afternoon and evening. Great convince to Santa Barbara/Goleta residents. Overall, we had a great experience and would go back.

No services at all, and overpriced. Also, if you want to hike, they will charge you an ADDITIONAL fee to park at any nearby trailhead. Finally, the campground sits right next to the concessionaire's work lot, so you've got worker traffic and noise. Avoid this place if you can.

The campsite is spacious and clean. Very nice host. 25-min drive from city Santa Barbara and good road condition, super convenient. The only problem is too many flies when we were there. Btw, the river near the campground dries out now. Or it would be much prettier.

Good looking camp, no issues.

The place is quaint, and we absolutely loved our stay there. It was a little cold for tent camping in January, but that's just a perfect excuse to cuddle! Also, the bathrooms were clean!

This campground is a gem. Sites are spacious and far enough away from each other. Bathrooms are clean. Water spigots areas are clean. Camp is well maintained. Lots of trees, rock outcroppings, and fun exploring options for actual kids and kids at heart. Great, close proximity to multiple hiking and mtn biking trails, as well as abundant road biking options.

Very well maintained campground with awesome amounts of space. In spite of the dry, drought conditions, and therefore the fire safety precautions including a ban on campfires, it was such a lovely experience being at Paradise Campground. I was very impressed with the place and the site host is very nice and on top of things.

I love Paradise campground. I love the area. I am a minimalist camper, but like have water and bathrooms. My favorite place to camp. The camp hosts are great people!

Great campground in the mountains of Santa Barbara. Close enough to explore all around the area.
@PhillipW391 · Camped on Mar 1, 2021 at Campsite #8
Stephanie did a great job as the host. Bathroom spotless and the campsite was very clean. She was very helpful with stores, where to get AT&T etc...
Big flat campsites 👍😀

When we arrived to Paradise campground we were happily surprised at the fact that the campground seemed small but the with a good distance separating the campgrounds, also, in general the grounds were well kept and clean. The bathrooms were clean and the hostesses were very nice, helpful and friendly. Something we enjoy was the trails on the other side of the road by the creek.
@GavinS987 · Camped on Feb 5, 2021 at Campsite #8
I love this campground. It is clean, shady, and convenient. Shout out to our camp host, Stephanie for superb customer service. She was always available and extremely helpful. 10/10 will be back in the near future.
