Really nice! Big area, nicely secluded in the hills. Not too far of a drive to SB and perfect location if youre staying for outdoor activities like climbing. Wrong entrance on Apple Maps tho. Drive about 2 more miles and there will be a plaque that says paradise campground.

We got site 15 which was the very last site around the giant loop of campsites so we ended up back near the entrance. Although it was closest to the main road, it wasn't too noisy! Super sunny campsite with not too many trees to provide shade around but that wasn't an issue, we enjoyed the sun! The grass is mainly foxtails so be careful if you bring pets or children, the little sticklers hurt! It was fully booked the weekend we went so it felt pretty safe.
I wish the site had mentioned beforehand that the flush bathrooms were out of commission right now. They provided 4 portapotties which was nice but in the 3 days we were there, we saw them clean it only once and you can assume how used they were in a full 15 site campground with at least 4 people each site. The restroom situation is the only grievance I have with this campground though!
The camp host was super nice and made their rounds each day we were there to check us in and offer firewood to purchase. The other campers near us were kind and considerate of noise levels and curfew and such. The site came with a picnic table, campfire round, and grill stand. There was ample parking.
Activities to do around there, we mainly swam at the river nearby. There was an access tunnel right by the campground that takes you under the main road and into the riverbank. Walk a little bit more to the right, following the trails you'll find and you will be at a perfect swimming spot where you can put some camp chairs at and sit for a while.
Overall, one of the better campsites I've been to. Just wish there was a pop up notice of the potty situation!

Beautiful. In December, it was quite cold so recommend an RV or warmer temperature rather than tent camping. It is nice that there is water nearby which most campgrounds have none. It is an open area so it is hard to have privacy but got to know my neighbors by being so close which often I do not get that opportunity. The downside is that it is near a street although it is in a national park so traffic is light but still more traffic than usual campgrounds. Verizon WIFI worked while AT&T did not.

Great spot, close to hikes and small sandy beaches. Bear lockers available, but the main dump is uncovered which makes me think bears are not the norm. Right next to the road so cars can be heard but it really wasn't an issue. A perk: town is close for last minute necessities.

Bathrooms, trash and and camp areas are allways clean, fire pits are well taken care of. This helps with keeping bugs in control and makes for a fun stress free time. Thanks

Spacious campsites away from other campers. The hosts and park staff were very friendly. Bathrooms were kept very clean and well stocked.
Given the time of year we did have to drive a bit to get to play in the water, but we were also able to take a nice drive to Cachuma and Solvang.
