I love this place. The staff is great, it is super clean and everything is meticulously maintained. It is right next to the freeway so even though there is a sound barrier it can still be loud (that's why I gave 4 stars instead of five for the location). A close bike ride to downtown Santa Barbara).

We stayed here for the first time April 6-8, 2026. We found access easy, RV sites large and the place immaculately clean. Staff weee super friendly and helpful. RV sites are medium sized river rock, packed hard and level. Each site has a table. WiFi is good. Bathrooms and showers are sparkly clean and comfy although small. Showers are tiled walk-in. There are four. Freeway noise is there but did not affect our sleep at all. Convenient to all of Santa Barbara. We will definitely return. Just loved this place.

I loved this RV park! Our space was great! Nicely marked with white stones, all of the hookups were clearly marked, everyone in the park was nice, laundry and restrooms were clean, hot showers, and great WiFi! And, pet friendly for our little dogs, and someone had a calico cat in their dash, even! Great service, excellent value, and quiet neighborhood, right off the freeway! Close to UCSB, or through to SF.

5 stars easily!! My bf and I stayed here for a few days and we were happy with our stay. The bathrooms and showers were very clean and easily accessible from our dedicated spot. The walk from the rv park to the downtown area was easy too and very pretty. Pricing was great too. I’d stay again for sure!

Very sweet, small RV park. Manager very nice. Bathrooms and showers are like private bathrooms and very clean. Great place to stop over when traveling. Caution- bring earplugs - you will hear the freeway.
