RV Friendly Destinations Near Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara is a gorgeous city, and its spot along the ocean means there is no shortage of beautiful sites to visit. Here is just a sampling of RV friendly sites for you to visit and camp with your RV rental before or after the Lucidity Music Festival in April:

1. Carpinteria State Park. Cited as “quintessential California beach camping,” this park is perfect for RV campers. You’ll have access to a gorgeous beach, and if you like breweries, Rincon Brewery and Brew Lab are close by. 
2. Refugio State Beach. Lined with palm trees, Refugio is a friendly, beautiful beach. Also, there are plenty of fishing and hiking trails in the park. 
3. Rancho Oso RV Resort. The ocean is great, but Santa Barbara’s known for its mountains as well. Be careful going up the mountain (look for wildlife), but once you get to the top, you’ll notice the resort-like feel. Horseback riding, hiking, hot tubs, and swimming pools are at your disposal. 
4. Cachuma Lake Recreation Area. Again, the ocean is great, but the Santa Barbara area boasts amazing lakes as well. You’ll have plenty of options to hook up your RV rental, but while you’re there, you might as well rent a kayak, motorboat, or pontoon boat. 
5. Lake Casitas. To continue the lake theme, you’ll be pleased with Lake Casitas. Closer to Los Angeles than other options, you can enjoy disc golf and even a water park. For both Cachuma and Casitas, you’ll be able to access the lake with your boat if that’s your desire.  
6. Los Prietos. If you’re into sports, this is the spot for you. If you like to fish, mountain bike, or ride horses, your desire will be fulfilled. If you’re a fan of recent history, Knapp’s Castle is only 20 minutes from the campsite. 
7. Faria RV Park. If you’re a fan of archipelagos (multiple islands), then you’ll love Faria. Reservations are competitive, even at 180 days out, so you may want to book now.

4. Furnace Creek Campground, Death Valley National Park. If you’re willing to brave the hot, arid temperatures, this will be a great stop right before or after the Lucidity Music Festival.
