About
Reyes Creek Campground is a shaded streamside retreat tucked into the Los Padres National Forest at 3,500 feet elevation. The 24 well-spaced campsites sit beneath riparian oaks and cottonwoods along Reyes Creek, which flows year-round and offers swimming holes and fishing opportunities. The campground is suited for tents, pickup campers, small RVs, and van conversions; RVs over 22 feet are not recommended due to site constraints. The campground provides vault toilets but no potable water, so campers must bring all drinking water needed for their stay. Fires are permitted only in designated fire rings, and each site includes a picnic table. Pets are allowed on leashes no longer than six feet. Located south of Ozena Valley, Reyes Creek serves as the trailhead for the Reyes Creek Trail, which connects to the Piedra Blanca National Recreation Trail and provides access to the Sespe Wilderness. Popular activities include hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, nature viewing, hunting, and recreational gold panning. The area is also known for California condor sightings overhead.
