"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."
