The Santa Ynez campground is primitive but nice. It is located very close to Big Caliente and approximately 5 miles from Little Caliente. If the gate is now open to Little Caliente, you can camp at the Pendola campground. These campgrounds are first come ,first served.
There are actually two riverside pools just upstream from Big Caliente, the newly re-done (year 2002) Anniversary Pool and and an additional pool right next to it.
Air Temps during the day run around 80 and about 55-60 at night, but it varies depending on the weather.
Enjoy your trip! Paul
