Beautiful and peaceful spot! I had an amazing time here — the lake views are incredible, and the sunset was absolutely stunning. The weather was perfect, and it’s a great place for a relaxing BBQ with friends. Everything felt calm and refreshing, away from the city noise. Definitely one of my favorite places around Goleta! 🌅🔥💧

I am a local from Santa Ynez and I spend most of my free time down at the lake fishing along the shore or out in our boat. The fishing here is terrific. I do very well off of the shore and even better on a boat. They have several boats for rent. I believe they offer 2 hour, half day and full day rentals. Really nice Easy start aluminum and/or pontoon boats. They also have kayak rentals. The boys at the tackle shop are great. We hit it off right away. Great bunch of guys and gal🙂 I frequent the restaurant and bar often while im there. Sometimes ill just go there to hang out at the restaurant. It has a terrific vibe. Brad and Natalie are amongst the very best leaders in service. They always greet me with a smile. The food is excellent. I recommend the BLT. I get it every single time😄 The restaurant and bar area are pristine. The Bar has 3 big screen tv's, multiple beers on tap and every mixed drink you could possibly think of. Everybody there is just outstanding so I apologize for the names I did not mention. Im just drawing a blank right now. Its been a great day of fishing 🎣 and im burnt😄 I have never camped here however i have camped at several other locations. They have many spaces for RV's, 5th wheels, tents, chairs, benches etc....clean and flat grounds....it's all in very good condition. They offer camping, hiking, disc golf, kayaking, boating and fishing. They also have waterfront bungalows for rent.

Cachuma Lake is a great spot for camping – peaceful, with clean restrooms and showers. There are plenty of tent sites and nice trails to explore. Just keep in mind that little animals, like raccoons, might come by. Don’t leave food out on the tables!

got there last Thursday for a week of camping with family. Coming from Bakersfield I’d hoped for greener pastures, apparently no irrigation and dead grass.Come Monday we had heavy equipment and jack hammers digging up the lot next to me, had to move my truck so they could dig a hole in my driveway. This continued til the next Friday morning. Why can’t this be done in off months? We made reservations back in January. The dust and noise were overwhelming and not exactly a camping experience. Unaware of the fact that Monday and Tuesday water shut off 6hrs each day,caught us completely by surprise. I only give one star because fishing was good. I know no one will contact me and offer some sort of reimbursement and I also know this park is off our list for future trips.

Great lake for boating, fishing or just kicking back and watching the water.Good campgrounds, lots of ground squirrels.So watch out for the whole stone twister ankle! You can have campfires all year round anybody. That's a camper knows you've got to have a campfire to make your camping experience complete. There's a store just a few 100 yd from the camp. Sites will supply and there's a restaurant in bar sitting on the have fand the people that work the park are great.

We had an awesome weekend here. The staffs were friendly. We rented the Hawk Cabin which was well cleaned and just right for our family and our beloved pet. We had an enjoyable hike to Bradbury Dam with different views of the lake. We can’t wait to go back again! ❤️

Unless you have a boat or are willing to rent one... fishing is a bit tough! If you're not in it for the fishing though it's a great place to stay! The camp sites are huge! ...obviously sized for a good sized motor home with a boat or other towed vehicle. The campground store is very nice for camping items, they just don't stock a lot of cold meds and such, so come prepared or you will have to drive to a store outside the park. Overall it's a very nice place to camp! You will love the spacious camp sites!!

Full hookups are available. I stayed in both 12 and 14. They have 30a and 20a. But the 30a trips at around 15 to 20a and needs a visit from an electrician on space #14. #12 works well. Be sure to enjoy the burger and brownie ice cream at the Hook restaurant - really good. They also have a camp store, lake cruises, swimming pool and movie nights. I missed the star gazing event, but I'm sure it would have been fun. I think they also rent boats, sell fishing licenses and the lake is well stocked. I spent 5 days here and loved it. Park staff super helpful. Enjoy!

Love this place for camping. Sites are not right on top of each other. Activities opening back up, recently. It does get hot, and some areas are lacking any type of shade. And they have RV hookups (partial and full). Some roads (dirt and paved) could use some better maintenance. Pets are allowed, and noise restrictions in place after a certain hour. So awesome, and yet so close!! And the rates are significantly lower than surrounding camping areas.
