We recently wrapped up another amazing camping stay with Sun Outdoors Santa Barbara and the amount…read moreof stuff we were able to do in a few days while still enjoying the laid back, coastal experience was beyond our expectations. From this location you're minutes away from the beach (across the highway with foot or car access), a short drive in to Solvang or DT Santa Barbara! And less than an hour to Ventura if you want to do a Channel Island day trip. The property offers convenient amenities like: Heated pool and hot tub, Nearby hiking trails, Views of Channel Islands and the Ynez Mountains, Concrete RV pads and grassy tent sites and a Market. Misc: The property was super clean and tidy. Two for two we arrived at our campsite and it looked like we were the 1st ones to have ever set foot in it. Immaculate! And of course the staff members are super friendly and helpful. Overall: If you're part of the RV bunch that enjoys a perfectly maintained property for your outing this is your spot. If you're a camper that enjoys setting up a tent and unwind...but also enjoys a hot shower and clean restrooms then by all means do consider Sun Outdoors your next get away spot.

My favorite campground, hands down…read more It honestly bugs me that Yelp only has a one-to-five rating system, because sometimes five stars just isn't enough. This place deserves a 9.9 out of 10. Let me tell you about this hidden gem. First off, the name is almost misleading. Sun Outdoors Santa Barbara makes it sound like it's right in Santa Barbara, but it's actually about 15 minutes north of Goleta, in the El Capitan area -- and that name fits it much better. This place feels like a hidden piece of heaven. This is my third time being here. The first time was when I was in boarding school in eighth grade and we came here on a school trip. The second time was when I was married and stayed at the connected glamping resort. My ex-wife loved to travel, and we stayed at some very elegant places, but this was glamping at its finest. What I didn't realize back then is that the hotel and RV campground are connected by a little trail. You can walk from the RV side to the hotel area, visit their little convenience store, and continue down toward the beach. I'm currently in spot 818, all the way near the top, and it feels like I'm in the mountains. It's private, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. But just a short walk away, you have access to one of the most beautiful beaches around. It feels almost private. Absolutely stunning. For me, this RV campground is perfect. They have everything: a dog park where your dog can run off-leash, a kids' playground, hiking trails, a pool, a jacuzzi, clean and beautiful bathrooms, and well-kept grounds. Everything is maintained extremely well. The staff is also outstanding. Kathy runs the place, and she clearly runs a tight ship. Every staff member I've dealt with has been wonderful. They're never in your way, but they're always there when you need them. That's rare. Before coming here, I stayed at a very nice RV park in Malibu. Was it nice? Sure. You could see the ocean. But it felt more like being in a parking lot. Here, I feel like I'm actually camping in the woods. Then you walk a little ways and suddenly you're at this incredible beach. I started RV life in February, and this is my fourth place so far. To me, this is heaven on earth. I've been here for a month, and I have to leave on the 8th because a school rented out the whole property and everyone has to clear out. Honestly, I'm sad to leave. But it's probably for the best, because I'm supposed to be exploring the coast -- and if I didn't have to leave, I might never go. As Arnold Schwarzenegger would say: I'll be back. Thank you to Kathy and everyone at Sun Outdoors/El Capitan for making my stay so comfortable and wonderful. I rarely write reviews unless a place is either the absolute best or disturbingly bad. This place is something very special. If you ever get the chance to stay here, take it.

This was our first time coming here and it was a great experience. There were some drawbacks, but…read moreI'll get to those in a bit. We booked our trip in July, the weather was pretty good. We experienced a high of 84 and one of the nights it was down at 52! We did read that it gets cold at night so luckily we brought warm clothes to sleep in. Having a beanie and warm blankets helped get through the cold nights. Second night was a low of 64, so that wasn't too bad. I like to book my campsite as close as possible to the restrooms to make the trips short, but just an FYI, these restrooms have a really bad smell. The restrooms are kept very clean, but the smell comes from the vent. We could smell that stuff from our campsite, so I would recommend choosing a spot not too close to these restrooms. The campsites looked very nice in size, there was some distance between sites. I like my privacy and I like that there were many small trees providing tons of shade and separation from neighbors. The sites have a BBQ pit and a fire pit. Unfortunately a fire restriction was placed the day before we arrived so we couldn't use either or. They allowed us to use a gas stove. There is no running water as mentioned so we brought extra to drink, wash dishes, and shower. They do sell water at the site, but it is very expensive so be sure to bring a lot of water.

The location is really nice, but not for camping with tents, unfortunately. For the whole night…read morethere was a strong wind that almost had blown out tent away But landscape is so picturesque

No running water besides the creek (don't drink that) which we used for hand/dish washing and such. The vault toilets had toilet paper until about Sunday morning. Vault toilets were clean, but the lock was broken on one of the doors. I can't speak to the reservation process, but I believe our group leader was able to reserve them online and we had no issues when we arrived. Lots of other families camping there with music and laughter and thankfully it got quite around 9/10.

I'm definitely not an expert camper, I usually go to…read more family camping sites that are easy to access, and are generally near essential needs in case of an emergency. Davy Brown is not a bad campsite, but I do recommend this for well-versed campers . The road to this campsite is 1-1.5 hours from the main road, and is fairly windy and full of potholes. My Hyundai Accent proved to be hard to use. In terms of the campsite, it is nice and peaceful. It is next to the creek and you can hear the peaceful water stream as you doze off. The campsite is fairly clean and spacious. Plus, there are fire pits and barbecues available. I would recommend this place if you want to go deep into the forest. However, the bumpy and narrow road here makes it a tough recommendation for amateur campers like myself.

Good standard campground. This is not a "destination" campground, so you can avoid the crowds…read more Overall we enjoyed it, keeping in mind you are camping after all. - The creek runs through camp and is running next to most camp spots - Spots are well spaced out. Lots of privacy. - Vault toilets in good condition. - Fire rings and grills. - A lot of hiking trails nearby connected to camp. - Fair amount of firewood on ground to be collected if you don't want to overpay for your bundle from town. - Dumpster at entrance to dispose of trash - Pets are allowed in camp and surrounding trails. - No cell service. - No potable water. Bring your water. - Fair amount of bugs (the annoying swarm of flies around your head when near water during the heat of the day) - Lots of poison oak in camp and on trails. It can be avoided, but watch the exploring and curious kids. - Lots of ticks. Get flea/tick treatment from your vet before bringing the dog. - The road to the site is a bit rough. 4WD not required but high clearance recommended in some spots

Best decision ever! Although getting to the meeting point was a bit scary as we drove 15 mph through winding roads next to steep cliffs, the views were nice and the ATV experience was totally worth it! We gave ourselves plenty of time to get lost and it took us about 1.5 hours to get to the checkpoint. Luckily Google Maps was on the entire time and we even had an hour to kill on top of the mountain before our 12:30pm appointment. (Also had screenshots of the directions in case we lost service). Upon arrival, we met with the two girls who were wearing face masks and face shields so we felt safe. They had all the sanitizing stuff. They checked us all in, gave us each a mesh covering for our head, pairs of gloves, goggles and helmets. They offered different insurance plans (just like a rental car company), each ranging in price. Then, they walked us over to the ATVs where Jorge was our tour guide. He asked us if we've ever rode before and taught us how to use the automatic ATVs and made us feel comfortable and safe. (Throttle was on the right handle bar and brakes on the left. Second brake was a foot pedal). We drove on wide and narrow trails, over some fun rocky areas, kicking up lots of dust, and he took photos of us the entire time. This was a great family bonding experience and we're all still talking about how fun it was and want to do it again. Know Before You Go: It gets dusty so wear clothes and closed toe shoes that you're ok getting dirty. Give yourself plenty of time to drive to the location because the last thing you want to do is rush through the scary mountain roads. 10/10 would definitely do this again!

DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY -- TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE- Location in Tracy- Northern CA…read more We booked a mountain ATV ride with Enjoy the Mountain ATV in July 2026, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. The first red flag was that the company did not provide a phone number, making it difficult to get help or clarification when we needed it. We followed their directions exactly and arrived 30 minutes early. We parked in the designated lot as instructed by the person at the gate, but our guide never came to meet us. We eventually had to drive into the park ourselves and locate the guide, who was parked on the side of the road. There was no clear signage identifying the company or where customers were supposed to check in. Once we finally found the guide, the intake process took approximately 40 minutes. After all of that, we paid approximately $700 for a ride that lasted only about 20 minutes. We were also promised pictures from the experience, but no pictures were ever provided. What made the experience even worse was the customer service afterward. Rather than taking responsibility for the poor communication, unclear instructions, lack of signage, and failure to provide what was promised, the company provided little to no accountability. For the amount of money we spent, this was absolutely not the experience we expected. Poor communication, poor organization, inadequate customer service, and failure to deliver what was promised. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this company and would strongly encourage others to consider other ATV companies before booking.
