el Capitan Canyon 3

El Capitan Canyon, just north of Santa Barbara along an unspoiled stretch of theCalifornia coast, is renowned as an all season comfort camping destination. Originallya traditional campground, El Capitan Canyon reopened in 2002 as an upscale,outdoor destination and quickly became known for its picturesque canvas safari tentsand contemporary rustic cedar cabins. It was one of the first to be coined “luxurycamping.” Nestled against the Los Padres National Forest with access to 3,500 acresof pristine nature preserve, the Canyon is set on 350 acres of rolling hills and creekcanyons and is a five minute walk to El Capitan State Beach. During the summermonths, the Canyon becomes a place for families to reconnect as it offers a no fuss,back to nature camp experience with s’mores by the fire, hiking, and outdoorconcerts. In the fall, couples arrive for a romantic getaway and groups come herefor retreats, corporate think tanks or relaxed fall weddings. Family owned since 1975,El Capitan Canyon provides affordable luxury in nature.
