El Chorro Regional Park and Campground stands out as a unique destination due to its rich history and stunning natural surroundings. Originally utilized by local ranchers for dairy farming and cattle grazing, this land was acquired by the federal government in the 1940s to create Camp San Luis Obispo. During World War II and the Korean Conflict, the camp served as a vital training ground for the U.S. Army.
