About this campground
Paradise Campground is a beautiful place to enjoy California's westernmost national forest. It provides access to a variety of recreational activities, including hiking, biking, horseback riding and more. Mountain lakes and rivers in the area offer campers plentiful fishing, boating and swimming opportunities.
The campground offers just over a dozen sites for single and double-family tent and RV camping. Each site is equipped with a table, campfire ring with grill and a pedestal grill. Accessible flush toilets and drinking water are provided. Utility hookups are not provided. Parking spurs are paved and can accommodate most RVs. Firewood can be purchased from the campground host. The nearest fee dump station is about 11 miles away at Cachuma Lake County Park off State Route 154.
What campers say
Paradise Campground is a small, quiet site with large oak shade, spacious tent and RV sites, picnic tables, fire rings, and water spigots. Flush toilets are reported clean and coin-operated showers are available, though sinks and full hookups are not provided. The river is a short walk away for swimming and there are nearby trails. Hosts are generally described as helpful and the site accepts reservations and self-pay. Practical tradeoffs include a relatively high nightly fee and pricey firewood, a winding access road that can be steep at times, and limited on-site amenities beyond basics.
