Review: Lake Cachuma Recreation Area

4 stars
Great Camping, Sub-Par Fishing

Great place for campers that want some amenities. The grounds include a general store that opens at 8am, which is too late for fishers, but the tackle shop opens at 6am with coffee and snacks.

Fun nature center, that’s great for kids, with knowledgeable docents. I’d recommend seeing the bats go out at night from their bat box. They also have a variety of events throughout the year.

There’s also a pool, bike rental, and boat rentals, including an accessible fishing dock for those with disabilities.
