Carpinteria State Beach Campground

Carpinteria State Beach campground is located twelve miles to the south of Santa Barbara California, off Highway 101.

Carpinteria Calfiornia is a cute little beach town, and the village is within walking distance of the campground.

This campground has a sandy beach, tidepools to explore, and interesting tar oozing from the rocks (watch your feet--it's hard to get off!) Also, there are plenty of shady trees. Some sites are grassy, others are sandy. There is a small dune between the campground and the beach. The train tracks run along behind the campground.

Activities include swimming, fishing, tidepooling and biking.

CAMPSITES
Carpinteria campground is actually divided into 4 sections, named after the Channel Islands: Anacapa, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa and San Miguel. Anacapa and Santa Cruz is the only area for tents, and if you want to be fronting the beach, request Santa Cruz. If you have an RV and want to be fronting the beach, request Santa Rosa or San Miguel.
