Valle Vista Campground Survey - 02-20-2021 - by Oh Three
Link: Valle Vista Campground
Date: 02-20-2021
Surveyor Name:Oh Three
Camp Description:Valle Vista is well named. Hundred mile views. Looking east, it could be called monte vista, or badlands vista. It’s also windy. But, wow, what a valley view from the 2 most northern campsites. Someone had left a fire smoldering in a fire pit, and today was a windy day. After a lifetime of ads telling us only you can prevent forest fires, who would drive away leaving their fire burning. I drowned and stirred. And yes, the entrance is invisible, just know it is 100 yards after the sign for the campground, and before the campground sign on the other side of the road.

Valle Vista Campground Survey - 05-22-2017 - by Los Padres Forest Association
Link: Valle Vista Campground
Date: 05-22-2017
Surveyor Name:Los Padres Forest Association
Camp Description:Valle Vista was in great shape with the usual commanding views overlooking the valley.  Probably the most appropriately named camp in the Los Padres.

The sign indicating where to turn off is a little confusing.
