## Overview

Nira Campground is a beautiful site covered in oak trees and located along
Manzana Creek. Whether you come to cast a line in the river, camp and relax,
ride horses, mountain bike or hike, Nira offers a scenic location with a
variety of recreation activities.

## Recreation

Along with hiking, mountain biking, fishing and swimming, Nira Campground is a
great starting point for backpacking and deer hunting expeditions into the San
Rafael Wilderness. Located on Manzana Creek just upstream from the mouth of
Davy Brown Creek, a trailhead provides access for various trails up and down
Manzana Creek that enter the San Rafael Wilderness.

## Facilities

While tent camping is best enjoyed in this cozy campground, there is room for
small RVs under 20 feet. Nira has 12 campsites, each site includes a picnic
table, barbecue grill and/or a fire ring. Sites 1-3 are tent and car camping
sites only (no RVs due to size restrictions). There is a vault toilet in the
campground. There is no drinking water at this site.

## Natural Features

Nira Campground is surrounded and shaded by oak tree- covered mountains.
Whether you're a beginner in the art of birdwatching, or an experienced
birder, Nira will not disappoint. A bounty of birds such as king-fishers,
juncos, Stellar jays, white-breasted nuthatches, warblers and many more
flourish in this section of the Los Padres National Forest.

## Nearby Attractions

The Manzana River runs through the campground where swimming and fishing are
favorite activities. The trailhead for San Rafael Wilderness is easily
accessible. Los Olivios, Santa Ynez, Solvang and Buelton are all within a one
hour's drive.
