NATURE
Luxury in
El Capitan Canyon, just north of Santa Barbara along an unspoiled stretch of the
California coast, is renowned as an all season comfort camping destination. Originally
a traditional campground, El Capitan Canyon reopened in 2002 as an upscale,
outdoor destination and quickly became known for its picturesque canvas safari tents
and contemporary rustic cedar cabins. It was one of the first to be coined “luxury
camping.” Nestled against the Los Padres National Forest with access to 3,500 acres
of pristine nature preserve, the Canyon is set on 350 acres of rolling hills and creek
canyons and is a five minute walk to El Capitan State Beach. During the summer
months, the Canyon becomes a place for families to reconnect as it offers a no fuss,
back to nature camp experience with s’mores by the fire, hiking, and outdoor
concerts. In the fall, couples arrive for a romantic getaway and groups come here
for retreats, corporate think tanks or relaxed fall weddings. Family owned since 1975,
El Capitan Canyon provides affordable luxury in nature.

WE MEAN
GREEN
WITH SUCH A SETTING, ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP
IS INHERENT AT THE CANYON.
THE CANYON HAS SEVERAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS
WITH THE GOAL TO HELP RESTORE, PRESERVE AND PROTECT
ITS LANDS AND WATERWAYS.
The watershed NativeVegetation Enhancement Project creates and re establishes
the riparian buffer zone with native plant biodiversity. At the onsite nursery, plants
are grown from hand collected seeds, cuttings and transplanted propagates of
local Canyon stock.
Through the Canyon’s Steelhead Habitat Restoration Program, the creek that winds
through the Canyon floor is being restored to encourage a return of California’s
once thriving Steelhead fish population.The Canyon continues to work with local
environmental and wildlife groups on this project.
The Urban Timber Salvage and Recycling Program gives new life to fallen trees.
When winter storms or old age brings an end to a tree, it is brought to the El Capitan
CanyonWorkshop and made into handmade picnic tables, post and rail fencing,
stairs, hand rails, signs and even the interior features.
As part of the Canyon Renewable Energy Project, the Canyon converted the pool
heating system to solar. El Capitan Canyon cut its heating expenses by an estimated
75 percent using free and renewable energy from the sun.
The Collective CooperationWater Conservation encourages El Capitan Canyon
guests to participate in simple but effective water saving techniques.
Car Free Canyon is a program to encourage safety for pedestrians and wildlife, while
reducing noise and air pollution. El Capitan Canyon’s complimentary shuttle service,
utilizing electric and gas vehicles as well as bicycles, offer quick transportation
throughout the canyon.The Canyon is a smoke free environment and observes quiet
time between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m.
