About
Ozena Campground is situated in the Ozena Valley area of Los Padres National Forest, near the Ozena Fire Station just off State Highway 33. The campground sits at approximately 3,000 feet elevation on Lockwood Valley Road and historically offered around 10 primitive campsites shaded by oak trees. The site has traditionally served as a base for hunters in the fall season and provides trailhead access to the surrounding backcountry. The McPhearson Peak Trail and Aliso Trail begin at or near this location, with the Aliso Park Trail leading approximately 4.76 miles to the San Rafael Wilderness in Santa Barbara County. The campground offered basic amenities typical of primitive Forest Service sites, including vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables. The entrance road is sandy, requiring appropriate vehicle precautions.
Directions
From Highway 33, turn east onto Lockwood Valley Road (9N03). The campground is located a short distance east of Highway 33, near the Ozena Fire Station.
