Lake Cachuma is located in the hills above Santa Barbara.
Even if you're not going to the Lake, taking this shortcut
from near Solvang to Santa Barbara is a beautiful drive.
The site hosts full facilities with camping, boating
and other facilities. It even includes a store and laundry.
I found the park personnel to be extremely helpful and
courteous. They were more than happy to answer all my
odd sounding questions.
The park boasts over 550 campsites, neatly laid out
in small groups around the park. 90 sites have electricity,
and yurts are also available.
