The Carpinteria State Beach features a mile long stretch of coastline for camping, tidepool exploring, surf fishing, and swimming.
While dogs aren’t permitted on the beach itself, there is a picnic area where they are allowed. Carpinteria State Beach also offers four different campgrounds for overnight visitors: the Anacapa Campground, the Santa Cruz Campground, the Santa Rosa Campground, and the San Miguel Campground.
Santa Rosa is for only trailers and RVs, with all sites including full-hookups, as well as the majority of San Miguel. Anacapa and Santa Cruz can be used for trailer, RV, and tent camping.
