About this campground

Friis Campground

Friis Campground, nestled in the oak-studded hills of Los Padres National Forest in California, offers 10 first-come, first-served established campsites—no reservations or permits required. Camping is free. Amenities include picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets; no potable water is available, so bring your own. RVs up to 22 feet can access the campground, though there are no hookups. This peaceful, remote spot features scenic meadows, rolling hills, and oak woodlands. Nearby attractions include the Rinconada and Hi Mountain trails. Ideal for birdwatching and hiking, it’s best visited spring through fall when temperatures are mild and wildflowers bloom.
