Antelope Valley Information

This past weekend a group of us went camping at San Simeon State Park. This park is located about 215 miles northwest of Lancaster, CA. It is located on the central coast of California about 35 miles north of San Luis Obispo. It was a very pleasant drive out to this state park from the Antelope Valley. We took 138 to 5 to 46 to scenic Highway 1. The ride along 46 was also very nice with all of the rolling hills and vineyards. This picture was taken just behind our campsite and is located a mile from the coast. At our campsite we could hear the ocean as well as coyotes at night. The sounds of turkeys gobbling woke me up in the morning. It was a very nice time camping there. With the shore only a mile from the campsite it was nice to walk down there. The shore was a mix of dirt and rocks but nice to walk along. There are also trails inside the park that take you through pine forests. It was strange to see a sign warning us about mountain lions but luckily we did not see any of them. We did see a couple of deer on our drive out of the park Sunday morning. I think they were black-tail deer. You can learn more about the park by clicking here.
