Hungry Valley State Veh Rec Area

Off-road vehicle enthusiasts find multiple camping areas spread across this expansive recreation area managed by the US Forest Service within Los Padres National Forest. The facility caters specifically to dirt bike and ATV riders, with designated trail systems sectioned by vehicle type and size. Multiple campgrounds throughout the property include restrooms and shade structures, though no RV hookups are available.

Reviewers consistently highlight the extensive trail network and varied terrain suitable for both novice and experienced riders. The property functions as what one camper describes as "a wilderness theme park for serious and novice off-roaders of all types," accommodating everything from motorcycles to jeeps.

Spacious and Fun for Quad Riders!

We have been camping on the Oceano dunes with our young kids for years. They ride quads and Hungry Valley has different campgrounds and all kinds of trails which are specifically sectioned off for the type and size of quad or motorcycle. We all love it and tell everyone about this campground.

Great Dirt Bike Riding

This place is nice because it’s huge! Many different camp areas with bathrooms and overhangs for shade, no hook ups for RV’s though. If you have dirt bike’s or quads bring them with because the riding is great. I would not camp here in the summer it gets to hot but fall, winter, spring camping is great!
