About
Goldhill Camping Area is a primitive camping location in Los Padres National Forest, situated along the north bank of Piru Creek at the base of Alamo Mountain. The campground features two designated campsites scattered on a flat bluff above the creek, where evidence of historic gold placer mining remains visible along the slopes. RVs up to 26 feet can navigate the access road. This is a pack-it-in, pack-it-out destination with minimal amenities. Portable toilets and picnic tables are provided, but no potable water is available. Campers should arrive fully self-sufficient for their stay. The area enforces a 14-day stay limit and quiet hours from 10 PM to 6 AM. The campground serves as a basecamp for OHV enthusiasts, with proximity to Forest Service motorcycle and four-wheel drive roads and trails. Hungry Valley State Vehicular Recreation Area lies approximately eight miles to the northeast. Fall hunting season also draws visitors to the area.
Directions
From I-5 near Gorman, take the Hungry Valley Road exit and head north into Hungry Valley State Vehicular Recreation Area. From the park's northern entrance, access via Gold Hill Road (8N01) off Ralph's Ranch Road.
