Camping near or just south of Santa Barbara?

Also, If you are coming from the North and heading south, the better way to go would be to head up Refugio Road (Forest Rte. 5N12) opposite Refugio State Park Campground, and it eventually becomes West Camino Cielo (also FR 5N12) and bends to the east. I have made that loop a bunch of times, though ever in that direction. I would say it would be way better than going all the way to SB, hanging a left on 154 and heading all the way back into the hills. In the morning you just continue east on WCC, right on 154 then enjoy a nice breakfast at one of the Cajun Kitchens in town.

I'm just sayin'...

The forest service website shows that West Camino Cielo (West of the gun club) is still closed due to the Sherpa fire. I haven't been through recently to verify.
