Lake Pyramid RV Park Gorman, CA

Just off of the Grapevine (I-5) on Smokey Bear Road.
Campground
Lake Pyramid is across the Highway just a bit south of campground
  •  In kind of a canyon bowl type setting. 
  • Full hook ups
  • Picnic tables
  • Pool
  • Laundry
  • Mini golf
  • Dog park (no grass, but it is winter now so...)
  • Propane for sale
We came here on the windiest night in America.  We survived though.  Hosts are very nice.  No fires allowed at certain times of year unless you have a fire ring.  Weather can be extreme in these parts...cold, hot, windy etc.  The pool (solar heated) looks nice....closes in November.  

Mt. Pinos is nearby and a great little day (30 min away).  We went to see the snow, etc.  Also Lake Pyramid is just across the highway but don't know much about that.


Mt Pinos, about 25 minutes away.  Go north thru Frazier Park

Ocean Mesa RV Resort, Goleta, Ca

This place is awesome!!  We stayed in December, yes, chilly...but it is so peaceful.  We had a nice fire and gorgeous sunset.  There is a small breakfast place to walk to (sister cabin/ camping property) and it was very quaint, rustic and good.  Heated Pool, jacuzzi and massage avail.  Gift shop.  There is also a llama pasture to hike to.  El Capitan State beach is across the road...a small drive or bike to.  The sister property offers complimentary bikes to use.

Some very nice features:
