If you have ever had dreams of the west the way it's meant to be, you'll love this campground.  

Horses are welcome here and if you don't have horses, then they provide some for you.  If you don't know what you're doing, then they have trainers (for you and your horse).  While you're at it, if you don't have a camper, then they have cabins and covered wagons.

They have thought of everything!

This part of the valley is absolutely gorgeous Coastal California, complete with chaparral, eagles and a bright blue sky.  It is always a bit warmer than the Santa Barbara side of the mountain, but you are still within a half hour of downtown (just in case a night under the stars reminds you of your need to shop, of your sore muscles, or a burning desire for seafood.)
