Nite Bites

We came here last year, it was what we expected. It’s a Walmart-esque parking lot with power and water. Nothing impressive, but it wasn’t advertised as anything other than a parking lot so we were OK with that. This year we came back, and were extremely disappointed. The spot we were assigned wasn’t remotely level, and it was 50 feet from the doors of a Dancehall that had LOUD music blaring until 11 PM. The music was so loud that the base reverberated our RV. No way we could sleep through that. Since the parking lot was packed due to the party in the Dancehall, it was VERY difficult to back the RV in. The restrooms were dirty, trash on the floor, no paper towels. The shower was closed indefinitely for maintenance (we tried 3 separate days). The dumpster has no lid on it, many RV spots were within 10 feet of a dumpster. We rented an RV site to sleep, it would’ve been nicer (and quieter) to park on the side of a highway.

I ended up staying at Earl Warren Showgrounds after my husband was involved in an accident and spent some time in the hospital. Unfortunately there's not many places in the Santa Barbara Area and the ones that are here are quite expensive. Besides the price the people working there are very kind and helpful. The grounds are beautiful and over all my stay was very nice.
