About The Pergola at Carrizo Plain
The Pergola at Carrizo Plain Please read carefully before requesting to book this site. This is dry camping and is further out than you might think. There are no services, no water, no trash pickup, no toilets, no EV charging, and no cell service. There is only beauty—and lots of it—so please plan carefully. High-clearance vehicles and experienced driving skills are recommended; an SUV or 4WD is ideal for this terrain. If you have ever wondered what it might be like to camp on the moon, this is it. You will be completely removed from civilization and surrounded by a barren landscape that feels alive with the subtle presence of the universe. Seasonally, spring wildflowers burst across the land, and the Chumash cave paintings at Painted Rock serve as a reminder of those who lived here before us. This is a place where the deer and the antelope still play. The Pergola is surrounded by the Carrizo Plain National Monument and offers a true "get away from it all" camping experience. This single site features a picnic table, a shade pergola, and a fire ring. Please do not break off branches from bushes for your fire, and never leave your campfire unattended. Ensure it is completely extinguished before leaving. Note that campfires are not allowed during Red Flag warnings or high-wind events. This is a strictly PACK IT IN / PACK IT OUT site. Please take all trash and waste with you. If you are not self-contained, you can find vault toilets at Traver Ranch, Soda Lake Overlook, and the Visitor Center. Because there is no water or service here, you must arrive well-supplied. Be sure to download your reservation to your phone for proof of booking, as cell service is unreliable. Occasionally, you may find people picnicking at the site; please politely inform them of your reservation so they can move along. We highly recommend exploring Painted Rock, Caliente Ridge, and the Soda Lake boardwalk during your stay. Keep an eye out for the elk—they are a majestic sight! Be sure to stop by the Visitor Center as well. That is it. Just you and the coyotes on your own private moon.

Great little spot on a hill overlooking the valley below and the the mountains behind. The pergola provides some much need shade and the fire pit was perfect. The dirt road in can be a bit tricky but it's worth it. Very peaceful and no trash around.... Please keep it that way
