Actually you can camp all over the LP, it just depends on what part of the forest you're on. The Los Padres stretches from Santa Barbara north to the Monterey Bay. If you would like more info feel free to message me. Hope this helps. The "local guide" doesnt seem to be much help...
Many places to camp. Check the website for more information or visit a ranger station.
Yes you can.
Yes, you can camp here.
