Miranda Pines Campground

Nestled in the pines along the Sierra Madre Mountain ridgeline, Miranda Pines Campground offers wonderful vista views of the Cuyama Valley.

There are three campsites located here, with each site including a picnic table and fire ring/grill. Fires are allowed only in designated fire rings. Pets are allowed. One vault toilet available.

Plan to be completely self-sustainable for the duration of your trip, as there is no potable water onsite. 

Campsites all have a good amount of space from one another to allow much-desired privacy for your camping experience.
