Amazing location. Setup is nice for group setting. Right across from town but yet feels secluded. Only thing I would add is if you come in after dark make sure to take a left after the bridge to get to the sites otherwise you will be backing up when you hit a dead end

Both Tom's were very easy to work with given our spur of the moment camping trip! The registration to getting access to the camp site took less than 1 hr on a Saturday afternoon. We had the camp site to ourselves and would go back next time we are near Solvang! A hidden gem! Bring what you need and it's only a few minutes from downtown! 5 star!

When we first got there, Tom greeted us right away. He was very sweet and accommodating. He told us about all the local spots around town. We just purchased our trailer and didn’t realize the batteries were bad —Tom offered his generator to us because of our predicament. That meant a lot to us and allowed us to use our refrigerator, lighting, etc. Aka actually enjoy camping. Such a lifesaver! The site itself was very clean and had some shade. All of your basic necessities are close by. It was exactly what we were looking for.

We had a delightful stay at Rock Creek. It’s a lovely, small, private campground with 8 spaces. The location is fantastic. We walked in the charming town of Santa Ynez and did a little shopping and had a delicious brunch at the Pony Espresso. We absolutely recommend it!
