We had a great stay at Sun Outdoors Santa Barbara. The staff was friendly and helpful. The pool and hot tub were very nice. The showers were also very good. Although a couple of hooks in the shower rooms would be helpful. We will be back again.

We love Sun Outdoors, their RV resorts are head and shoulders over the competition. Case in point, we recently stayed in Sun Outdoors Santa Barbara, located in Goleta, and has beautiful ocean views and a fantastic pool, immaculate rest rooms and showers, a great little store, and very friendly staff. There was a heat wave and fierce Santa Ana winds, so PGE shut down power for a full day, which was a little bummer for our Sorinter. But come to find out Sun Outdoors credited everyone’s stay that night… yep, that’s how great they are! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Friendly staff including the front office and maintenance. Beautiful park with plenty to do, always a pleasant stay, we will be back! General Manager was a consistent presence, making sure their special event (concert in the park) was running smoothly. Excellent stay.

We camped for 5 nights with 10 other couples and had a great time! We were able to stay mid week so the campground was fairly quiet until Friday afternoon when all the families with kids/e-bikes & e-scooters started coming. Definitely changed the atmosphere from peaceful to very active but they all were having a fun time. The quiet time doesn’t start until 11pm and it was very active until the camp staff came around and made everyone turn off music and settle their kids down for the night!

The grounds, restrooms & showers are clean & well maintained. Pool was great. Staff was nice & the camp store had good snacks. It is a long walk to the beach & a bit of a drive to get to a store. We did however have a good view of the ocean from close by our campsite. We had fun!
