About this campground

What campers say

El Capitan Canyon offers a rustic, family-oriented glamping experience with simple, cozy cabins and a camp-like vibe. Many visitors praise friendly staff, an on-site market/deli, a pool and playground, and animal activities (goats/llamas) plus seasonal events like outdoor concerts and yoga. Cabins are often small and sparsely equipped (few kitchen utensils, no air conditioning), and some guests mention strict check-in times and occasional noise from larger groups. It’s close to the beach but access can vary. Expect a pleasant, child-friendly setting with clear tradeoffs between charm and higher nightly rates and limited amenities.
