Don't go there in late summer. Everything dried up. And bring cash. Quarters are required for showering. And there is "No coins for Credit card". Luckily we found a small stream, otherwise it would have been almost unbearable at 40 degrees.

The experience: We stayed for 2 nights in the campground area, and utilized the hiking trail up the side of the mountain as well as the small lake at the bottom. Need to know: There is no cell service within ~15-20 mins of the campsite, and no wifi offerings once you are there. Make sure you take care of any urgent business before you spend extended time here. Notable: The showers are coin-operated, and seem to break frequently. I was not able to take a shower in the time I was there because they were either out of service, or there was a long line for the one or two that were still working.

Amazing spot for camping, both the modern and primitive sites! Currently open fires permitted on both, potable water at primitive sites only. The staff is absolutely incredible and come around with firewood and water. No reception within 20 min, McDonald's and Starbucks 30 min. The water is perfect for swimming and lots of space!

so I am hoping to go camping the weekend of juy 24 25 and 26 but was unable to make reservations as they are all full they have 7 first come first served sites does anyone know how early I should be there? I know they open up at 2pm that seems late

Febe Banegas | Sep 30, 2020
chino1x | Sep 30, 2020

Hello Febe. I work out at Arroyo Seco and I would suggest that you come early and buy a day pass and wait until 1 or 2 pm and check with the kiosk for a 'first come first serve' campsite. That would be your best option in my opinion.

My family and I will be going up arroyo seco but will we need a reservation . To enter the lakes no camping just day use?

Viviana Renteria | Sep 30, 2021
Manifesta Light | Sep 30, 2021

It is $10 a vehicle for the day use parking. A reservation is not required, however, It is an extremely popular place, and they do close off the parking lot pretty early due to fullness (around 11am)! My suggestion is to get there as close to 8 a.m. as possible.

Where is the gorge located?

Cristian Espinosa | Oct 1, 2019
Eric Stroh | Oct 1, 2019

Coming from Salinas take the Arroyo Seco Road Exit and take a left at the fork approximately 4 miles past the green bridge.

Is fishing allowed on the river

Beily Franco | Oct 1, 2019
Eric Stroh | Oct 1, 2019

You can fish from the falls in the gorge upriver thru summer. Winter you can fish the falls downriver. From Gorge Parking to the horse bridge is a 3 mile walk, from the bridge you head upriver a further 2 miles till you hit the falls. Take plenty of water and a dry bag, you will be in the river for the majority of the upstream journey. Fishing downstream is a big fat fine so I would not recommend breaking the rules.
