(June 4, 2019, 1:52 am)Best car camping campground near Santa Barbara. Do not expect any amnienties expect the vault toilet... Also a great strating point for San Rafael Wilderness hikes.
(June 1, 2019, 10:29 pm)A nice REMOTE campground. Be warned if you are expecting all the amenities in normal campgrounds, there is no running water or ranger station near by with firewood. The road on the way up is one lane, narrow, and part of it is unpaved getting there is not meant for all vehicles. Other then that it is a nice campground with great hiking trails, really takes you out of the city. I recommend this campground, but do come prepared if not a seasoned camper.
(February 10, 2018, 1:32 am)My all time favorite car camping go-to spot in all of Southern California. Takes an hour and a half to get to from Santa Barbara on (mostly) paved ranch roads, and it is deep in the backcountry. However, it is a popular campground, especially on long holiday weekends.
Manzana creek is seasonal, and between Memorial Day and Thanksgiving the water is largely unpotable except in the wettest rain years. However, it is a jumping off point for true wilderness backpacking.
