Coziest Camping in the World!

by Leslie Patson | 6th June 2008

Well, maybe not in the world but for sure North of Santa Barbara! El Capitan, just recently on the cover of Sunset Magazine, is such a fantastic adventure! Imagine camping, only luxury style!
You can rent either tents or cabins – we always opt for tents, they’re so romantic! And every one comes with its own fire pit for BBQ-ing and picnic table. Each of us arrived with a cooler packed full of food (of course!) and soon after our arrival and right before it got dark the cooking began: pork tenderloin, jumbo shrimp, gourmet sausages, little red potatoes, asparagus, potato salad and wine, yes lots of wine! The next morning (some arose earlier than others…) after breakfast and strong coffee at the little store/cafe Marc, Martin and Leslie set about on foot to explore the grounds while John, Vinnie, Lisa and Neil took advantage of the free bikes and rode down to the beach. We explored the organic vegetable garden way atop a hill overlooking the Pacific and then hiked through a forest filled with Eucalyptus till we got to the stone and sand covered beach. The weather was perfect, the day gorgeous and we could have stayed forever BUT we had to move on………..
Next stop: Hidden Hills Bed and Breakfast and Paso Robles!
