There’s nothing wrong with this place; I’m just giving one star to get your attention. There is no road directly to the campground, so you have to park your car on Highway 150 and walk. The GPS gives directions, but it leads you to the gate of Thomas Aquinas College, and you can't pass through the gate.
If you're trying to find this spot do not rely on Google map directions. Unfortunately it has not been updated with how to get here and after hiking a few hours thru punch bowl trail we realized reaching the campground by foot is impossible. Hoping to return again to find the real location!! See Santa Paula Punch Bowl Trailhead for local hiking. Campground not found
Beautiful hike. Please take your trash when you leave!
Incredible place, but you have to walk more than 2 hours if you go with children, but if only adults go, maybe it will take 1 hour 45 minutes to walk. But it's worth it. Very beautiful and transparent waters to take a good swim, for those who like to walk this is a perfect place. 🤩 👌 😍 blessings and may God be with you.
