Overview

Nestled in the Santa Ynez Mountain Range, Sage Hill Campground is a great group camping spot with easy access to the Santa Ynez River. Spend time fishing or take in the epic scenery on one of the trails designed for both hikers and horseback riders.

One of the campsites is designed for group equestrian camping and includes 12 corrals and a hitching post.

Recreation

Fishermen are likely to find carp, catfish, bluegill and the occasional bass that swim up from Cachuma. The Aliso Canyon Trail begins at the rear of the facility and continues to Upper Oso Campground, which is where the Santa Cruz Trail begins.

The nearby Cachuma Lake Recreation Area is perfect for boating, fishing and kayaking.

Facilities

Each campsite accommodates up to 50 people, and the group equestrian site accommodates up to 60.

Flush toilets, drinking water and paved roads are included, in addition to an extra large parking area to accommodate horse trailers.

The closest dump station is at Cachuma Lake.

Nice place to have a big group church gathering. The only inconvenience is the restroom cleaning and refilling toilet paper.

Came here in December and we were the ONLY campers, a party of 17. It was freaking awesome because the campsite is massive. Can fit 59 people and 10 cars. The water that we foraged was no more than 2 inches of water. We got real lucky with the weather. Plenty of picnic tables. Big fire pit. Please note there is no grill over the fire pit. It would be awesome to come here in the summer.
