Los Prietos Campground

Los Prietos Campground offers 38 shaded campsites in Los Padres National Forest with paved roads and parking pads, located just half a mile from the Santa Ynez River via the White Rock Day Use Area.

The campground provides potable water, flush toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables at $40/night, with nearby hiking trails including the popular 2. 5-mile Aliso Loop and 18-mile Santa Cruz Trail.

Note that the Santa Ynez River is often dry and not suitable for swimming year-round, and poison oak is abundant in the area.
