Our trip to Leo Carrillo took place July 19th-23rd. It was our first time staying at that campground. We loved it! We met people that have been coming with their families for years. It's definitely someplace I'd like to continue to bring my kids. There was so much for them to do. We brought their bikes and they rode all... more

It was wonderful and educational for them.... more
