Who We Are
LPNF Recreation operates more than 40 campgrounds, day-use areas, and trailheads across the Los Padres National Forest, from the Big Sur coast to the Santa Ynez River, Ojai, and the high country of Mt. Pinos, under special use permit from the USDA Forest Service. Our hosts and staff live and work in the forest year-round, keeping these places clean, safe, and ready for you. Whether you're here for a beach day, a weekend under the oaks, or a night above the clouds, we'll help you find your spot.
