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."

"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."

"About 20 miles west of Santa Barbara, off Hwy 101 opposite El Capitán State Beach, this ‘glamping’ resort is for anyone who loves camping, but hates to wake up with dirt under their nails."
