A group of 10 of us all brought our horses to Sage Hill. There is plenty of parking for large LQ's and plenty of pens with shade. Some of the gates on the pens did not work but we managed. Also, if you are planning on bringing your equine friends, bring a hose bib as the water spigots do not have threads for your normal hose. We thankfully had a cut off garden hose that stuck on quite well. You will also need to bring your own pitchforks and muck buckets to clean the stalls. The Aliso trail was closed, however, we managed to cross the river and go on a 2-hour ride towards the east. We could not find a way across the river to the west to go on the Snyder trail (across Paradise Rd) without crossing the slippery water bridge. All in all, I give it a 9 out of 10 as we are hardy folk and always love a challenge.

Loved Caballo for a group camping site with a bunch of preschoolers. Hiking trail right there, fire pits and plenty of space, fantastic staff that sells firewood and a muddy creek. What could be better? Well the horse corrals were great for them to play on too (and no horsepoop around)

Great camp hosts! Wonderful 3 mile trail with lots of wildflowers (end April). Keep an eye out for rattlesnakes, we're in their habitat.

As of 11/1/21: Bring your own wheelbarrow. There are no wheelbarrows. You'll need to deposit the manure in the dumpster. There are 19 corrals, three of them are huge and could easily accommodate 2 horses. There are two working flush toilets, five picnic tables, and two fire rings. Parking on the asphalt is limited but there is plenty of parking in the overflow dirt area next to the host. The rides are nice but most have quite a hefty elevation climb/descent. Stephanie, the host, is very friendly and comes at least once a day to service the bathrooms. The bathrooms are very neat/clean/tidy. The water spigots do not have threads to attach a hose. There are tons of beautiful oaks in the campground but watch your ankles, there are tons of squirrel holes! Make sure to grab the brochure before heading up the Aliso Canyon Trail, it will tell you about the marked areas/plants on the trail.

We paid 400.00+ for a group site and could not attend our 2019 Thanksgiving reservation because of the Cave Fire in Santa Barbra. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/26/us/cave-fire-santa-barbara.html
Recreasion.gov refused a refund 3 times.

Great group campsites. We had reserved 2 sites, but only one bathroom was open unlocked. It could have been cleaner.
