GenieSummary

What others are saying about this campground
Gaviotas Campground is a small, cozy campground located close to the beach. It is situated in a small bowl surrounded by small hills, and the beach is a short walk away under the railroad trestle. The campground is mostly a parking lot with a dirt lot in the center, and the spaces are small and the parking lot is paved. There is a pier and ocean access, but not a lot of trees. It can get windy, and the campground has a sign warning of potential high winds. There are facilities and a small general store, as well as coin-op showers and restrooms. There is no internet or cell service, and the campground is overrun by groups camping in single unit spaces. The campground host is one of the rudest and grumpiest old men you have ever seen. It is a great place for families or groups to stay while visiting the area, but it is overpriced for what it offers.

From The Campground

Gaviota State Park is temporarily closed until further notice due to severe storm damage, flooding, and debris cleanup. The park is located 33 miles west of Santa Barbara on U.S. 101. The coastal bluffs at Gaviota State Park reveal a 500-foot-thick cross-section of the geographically extensive Monterey Formation. Offshore and inland, petroleum geologists have extensively explored underground for oil reservoirs within this rock sequence and probed its depths to understand the genesis of this important oil source. The naturally cemented, bluff faces resist wave erosion and are tilted to display multiple layers like the pages of a book. The geologic layers contain some nicely preserved fossils, even the complete skeleton of a halibut-like fish.
