This is a nice little RV park with level concrete parking pads. Spaces are fairly close together but nice vegetation exists to separate the spaces. There are a number of tent sites available as well. The location overall is very close to 101 but there are some raised earthen sound barriers that keep the highway sound down pretty effectively. The pool and jacuzzi are nice and all common areas are kept clean.

We are currently at the campground. On our 3 week trip, this is the most expensive campground. When we arrived they told us that the beach was closed because of maintenance. We could go to another beach 3 miles further down the road…. I know that maintenance is necessary but tell me in advance so I can decide if I am willing to go or not., at least put it on your website or whatever so people are informed! The price is too high for that kind of service.

We loved our stay at Sun Outdoors in Santa Barbara! We pulled in late Friday night and people were up, not being loud, but just hanging out and having a good time at their sites. It just felt really nice and chill. Our tent site was up against the meadow and the views were insane. The bathroom facilities were clean and the showers were hot and free! I hate paying good money for a campsite and then having to fork over quarters for a shower as well. Kids had fun and so did the adults! 10/10 would recommend!

Really loved our stay here. Pool and hot tub were great, laundry facilities were clean. Loved being able to walk a path down to the ocean and watch surfers and dolphins. Our site was a little tight for our 34’ fifth wheel and truck but made it work just fine. Beautiful spot!

Beautiful spot to stop for a few nights along the coast. The park is clean and well maintained with a nice pool and other amenities. Cell reception was not great with Verizon, however Sun Outdoors offers WiFi that can be used to make audio and video calls. Be sure to check for special rates, there was a 30% mid-week promotion that saved us some money.

Crowded little campground that falls short on offered amenities. The wifi is terrible. This would be acceptable if the price wasn't so high. For weekend nights, rates are around 200/night for full hookups. Our paved site was not level and there was a constant smell of sewer. The showers are not well maintained either. For the price, I can't help but to expect more. For normal pricing it would be fine. Additionally, the main access road to the beach is under construction. You can still hike or bike there but it may be a consideration and should be disclosed. You can access the sister property next door for a free bike rental. It would have been nice if they had mentioned that.

Such a great camping ground, close to the beach, close to hikes, swimming pool, clean bathrooms and shower. It's perfect for a family getaway!

Decent amenities, clean and safe. My only complaint is that the wifi didn't reach our site which was next to the dog park. Cell reception is good but there's so many people on the network that it's really slow until about 11pm

Poor WiFi and Overpriced This campground could be quite nice, but it’s definitely showing its age. At $120 per night for the most basic site, the price is way too high for what you get. The sites are no longer level and slightly sloped, which makes parking a hassle. They’ve tried to fix drainage issues using sandbags — not exactly a professional solution. The facilities are outdated, the washing machines were dirty, and one of the dryers was so hot it ruined our clothes. The worst part was the WiFi — with only 4.7 Mbps download and 0.7 Mbps upload, it’s basically unusable if you need to sync photos or do anything cloud-based. For that kind of money, I expected much more. Wouldn’t stay here again.

We stopped to check out the amenities. They had nice camping spots, public bathrooms and friendly staff. It was pretty quite, but at the end of Jan, as one would expect, there weren't all that many campers.

This place was staged with friendly staff at front desk, but we did not interact with other staff. We found RV resort via Web search and thought RV spaces were $80 but turned out to be $107 which seemed high for off season plus place was probably only at 25% capacity. Facility was clean and well maintained including pool, hot tub, and shower facilities. Our firepit was full of broken bottles and intact bottles (what moron does that?) which should have been cleaned out prior to our arrival. There's some train noise and roadway noise, but we had a peaceful night and morning. Only spent one night. Only 3 stars bc of trash in firepit and high price. Nice facility though.

This by far was one of the best RV Parks. Everyone working here was a delight to talk to and so helpful. Everything, including showers/bathrooms were spotless. 5 plus stars!

Excellent RV park! Full hook ups, heated pool and hot tub, excellent shower house, playground, 15 minute walk to the beach, 15 minute drive to Santa Barbara. Highly recommend.

This is our first time here and let me tell you, this place is nice and clean. You barely hear the sound of vehicles coming from the freeway. The pool and laundry is clean. We will come back here again.

A great campground with nice paved lots. Heated pool and nice staff. We made great friends here with our neighbors.
