Chuchupate campground.. Los Padres
We spent June 24-26 at Chuchupate campground as krannie identified earlier. It was nice. not crowded, not too hot, and felt good at night. down to about 45 degrees. No wind. We picked out a spot up at the top under a bunch of trees. it was perfect for our group, as I had a popup trailer, for the wife, two grandkids and myself. my daughter her husband and inlaw stayed in a tent, and my other in-law and niece stayed in a tent on an adjacent spot. We were going to go to halfmoon, however, the road to halfmoon is closed, and the rangers stated it may be august before it opens. I brought the wife up there a few days before for a recon and to view the campground, and to get her buyoff.
Even though there was no water. we had bugs swarming around for about 1 hour each day. the entire three day trip was quiet and relaxing.
I had a great time, but it would of been funner if I wasn't injured and could of rode. I really felt the urge when the guys came up, roosted me, and rode that saturday.
