Arroyo Seco Campground is a developed facility in Los Padres National Forest offering 39 tent and RV sites (some wheelchair accessible) with paved roads, picnic tables, fire rings, and drinking water; modern sites feature flush toilets and coin-operated showers while primitive sites have vault toilets.

The campground sits at 1,200 feet elevation along the Arroyo Seco River, which offers a small beach area for wading and swimming (water levels seasonal), plus a small non-body contact lake nearby for non-motorized boating.

Access to the Ventana Wilderness and 15. 5-mile Santa Lucia Trail provides extensive hiking and backpacking opportunities, with the campground located approximately 50 miles from Monterey and 30 miles from Pinnacles National Park.
