Los Padres National Forest - Turn Out | Wild Camping

A nice flat spot at the top, not direct sight of the road. Have a beautiful view of the surrounding area. Best to have a high clearance vehicle to clear the ruts.

The only pull off not directly off the road. Very peaceful. Amazing 360 views. Ocean, lake and mountains. A lot of switchbacks and low hanging branches. Might be tricky for some but were able to tow our Jeep with our 28 ft class C and perch up here for 2 weeks with no problems whatsoever. 5 out of 14 days it was very windy and we lived in a cloud.

Piste en trop mauvais état et pas de partie à plat pour dormir, même pas avec des cales

360 views with amazing lake, mountains, etc. sunset and sunrise are magical. Shared the space with two other campers but otherwise completely quiet and serene. A few perched cliff turnouts along this steep winding mountain road. This spot in particular has some ditches but our 2wd did fine.

Great view and location, with a nice trail a bit to the east.

Yes it even has a location (and reviews) in Google Maps, so come sunset you might get some visitors. It's highly visible from the road below. Good T-Mobile and Verizon signal. Spent 4 days here.

Really nice place to stay near Santa Barbara for free. Close to the road but you still have a little of privacy. Great view and quiet. Please take your garbage with you guys.

Dry full sun overlook. Lots of space. Little bumpy but we made it up w/ 2 wheel drive. Make sure you’ve got lots of water could stay here for weeks. So beautiful!! Above the clouds in the mornings. Peace and privacy. Van life dream.
Leave it better than what you found it

Great spot, amazing view..black flies were a little tough but the sunset and clouds rolling over the hills was pretty amazing to watch.

Severe turns on this paved road—would not recommend for big rigs or trailers over 30’—there’s even a sign about it. It has several turn-offs used for camping. We saw a sprinter, car, and tent on our drive to this location. It gets a bit noisy with the wind, but it is better than street parking. Pretty views and drive during the day time.

I only had 4G for some of the drive on AT&T—other times, I had no service.

Nice spot. Room for only a single vehicle as the only relatively flat spot is all the way in at the end. Fantastic 360 view, and very quiet. Great spot.

Viewpoint. Lots of garbage around and can get pretty windy. Didn't stay there but went back down one spot...

Nice spot, 2 Bars LTE with T-mobile, but a lot of trash so please collect your stuff. Would stay again.
