Los Padres National Forest Camping

Los Padres National Forest has 36 reservable campgrounds, booked through Recreation.gov — including Sage Hill, Mcgill Campground and Group Campground, Arroyo Seco, Plaskett Creek Campground, Upper Oso Campground and Wheeler Gorge. It's one of the camping destinations we track in California.

Campgrounds here are in high demand and can sell out within minutes of release, so cancellations are often the only way to get a site. Campsite Tonight monitors every Los Padres National Forest campground around the clock and automatically adds an open site to your Recreation.gov cart the moment a cancellation appears.
