Gayot "Near the beautiful beaches north of Santa Barbara, families cram into this luxury campground to enjoy the semi-rustic life."
Oyster Mid-Range
"With enough modern conveniences to satisfy travelers who would rather just semi-rough it. Guests stay in cabins, tents, or yurts; only cabins have en-suite bathrooms." Full review
goop "Made up of cabins and tents... El Capitan offers a rustic but luxurious way to experience the El Capitan Canyon and beach near Santa Barbara." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice

Oyster Budget
"A hip makeover... turned its basic rooms into fun crash pads with iPod docks, Mexican blankets, and Lucite chairs." Full review
