What campers say

Rose Valley Campground is a small, no‑frills site with large, open campsites and attractive mountain views. The short, family‑friendly Rose Valley Falls trail starts from the campground and is a highlight for hikers. Facilities are minimal — a single vault toilet/latrine — and daytime foot traffic to the trail can be noticeable, though nights are generally quiet. There is little shade across most sites, so bring shade options and be prepared for sun and occasional gnats. Reservations are available and staff do check permits; expect a simple, scenic spot with basic amenities.

There are nine campsites in Rose Valley Campground. They are located in a single loop. Tables, BBQ grills, and/or fire rings are provided in each campsite.

Rose Valley Campground is the entry point to the legendary Rose Valley Falls, a magnificent two-tier 300-foot waterfall located on the west end of the Topatopa Mountains in Los Padres National Forest. If you are lucky, you may see coyotes, deer, bobcats, mountain lions or bears, which all live in this area. Frogs and toads, or ducks swimming on the lake, are a frequent sight as are red-tailed hawks soaring high above. Vegetation includes chamise, sage and toyon; toyon is especially beautiful in the fall and winter with its bright red berries. This area is amazing during the fall; as the trees change, you will find yourself luxuriously encased by vibrant colors.
