Beautiful, remote campground with spread-out, quiet sites nestled among big pines and boulders. No water; single pit toilet across from site 2. The altitude and ridge breezes keep it cool in summer. Some great bouldering among sites 4-6. The most beautiful sites are 6, 5, then 4. Sites 2 and 3 are most shaded. The drive in from 33 is all paved, but single-lane and curvy so it's a bit hair-raising for 20 minutes: honking before curves hoping no one is moving fast the other direction. But the camping is worth taking your life in your hands.
This campround is one of a kind, at 7000 ft this was one hell a hike. I I started my one-night backpacking trip at the Chorro grande trailhead down off the 33, I ascended through typical chaparrel that turns into switchbacks up the steep mountain. It eventually turns to a conifirous forest and ends on the paved Reyes peak campround. The campground has amazing views that span the Ventura coast and back towards the Cuyama Badlands.
This campground has a lot going for it. Just be mindful of what campsite you choose. We stayed at a site that had a serious hornet, wasp and bee problem. But the campsite was otherwise beautiful.
Beautiful and so close to home. Love the big trees and view. The elevation is a little surprising and drastically different weather for only being less than two hours from the beach. We had a great time. There are only two FF spots, the rest need reservation. We had spot #4
Great tucked away campground. Walk up spots with a board to pay at. Great building around. Fire pits, picnic table, grill at each site. 7 sites below at pine mountain campground too. Plus a couple pull offs if you're vanning it.
