Wel come Gaviota State Park

Gaviota State Park has something for everyone, from the sandy cove where Gaviota Creek meets the ocean
to the wild uplands of Gaviota Canyon, where a warm sulfur spring bubbles from the Santa Ynez fault.
PARK FEES are due and payable upon entry
into the park. Use the self-registration system
if the entrance station is closed. The campsite
fee covers one vehicle. There are additional
fees for extra vehicles.
CAMPSITES: Each campsite has a fire ring
and a picnic table.  Swings or hammocks may
not be fastened to trees or bushes.
OCCUPANCY: Eight people are allowed per
family campsite.
VEHICLES: All vehicles in the park must
display a current registration receipt on the
lower left corner of the windshield. Only
two registered vehicles are permitted in the
campsite at one time (a trailer counts as one
vehicle). Vehicles must have all tires on the
pavement. Do not pull off road as a wind
break. All rules of the road in the California
Vehicle Code are strictly enforced in the park.
Passengers are not allowed in open truck beds
or vessels in tow.
CHECK-OUT TIME: Check-
out time is noon. Please vacate
your site by that time. Check-in
is 2 p.m.
RE-REGISTRATION: If you
want to re-register and do not
have a reservation, you must
contact the entrance station be-
fore 9 a.m. the morning you are
due out. Site availability is not
guaranteed.
DOGS must be kept on a leash
no longer than six feet and
under control at all times. They
are not permitted on the beach or on trails.
Dogs must be confined to a vehicle or tent
from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., and must not be left
unattended at any time. Owners must remove
a dog if it is noisy and/or vicious. All incidents
of bites must be reported to the ranger (stay
with your dog at your campsite until the report
is completed). Please pick up after your pets,
both in the campsite and in open spaces
where you have taken them.
SPEED LIMIT: Though the maximum speed
limit is 15 mph, when pedestrians, bicyclists
and children are present, even 15 mph might
be too fast. Use good judgement.
QUIET HOURS: Quiet hours are from 10 p.m.
to 6 a.m. To ensure an enjoyable experience
for everyone, please do not disturb other
campers, regardless of the time of day or
night.
NOISE: Radios and other sound-producing
devices must not be audible
beyond your immediate
campsite, regardless of the
time of day or night. Engine
driven generators or other
devices may not be operated
between the hours of 8 p.m.
and 10 a.m.
MOUNTAIN BIKES: Use des-
ignated paved roads, dirt roads
and trails. All other areas are
closed to mountain bikes.
BOAT HOIST: The boat hoist
will be shut off at sunset. It will
turn on at 7 a.m. daily.
